Study Notes

Introduction to Microbes

  • Microbes are tiny living organisms that cannot be seen with the naked eye
  • They are found everywhere, including in air, water, and soil
  • Microbes can be either beneficial or harmful
  • Some microbes cause disease, while others are essential for life

Types of Microbes

  • Microbes are diverse and can be classified into different groups
  • Examples include bacteria, fungi, and protozoa
  • Certain microbes are single-celled, while others are multicellular
  • Bacteria are prokaryotes, meaning they lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles
  • Fungi are eukaryotes, meaning they have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles

Observing Microbes

  • Microbes are often observed in a drop of water
  • A microscope is used to observe microbes
  • This allows scientists to see the details of the microbes, such as their shapes and structures
  • Observing microbes helps scientists understand their characteristics and functions

Useful Microbes

  • Some microbes are useful and important for human life
  • For example, microbes are used in food production, such as making yogurt and cheese
  • Certain microbes also help with cleaning up pollutants
  • Microbes aid the digestive system

Harmful Microbes

  • Some microbes can cause illnesses in humans and animals
  • These microbes are known as pathogens
  • The severity of illness depends on the microbe involved and the person's immune system
  • Examples of illnesses caused by harmful microbes include food poisoning, influenza, and even dysentery

Examples of Microbes

  • Paramecium: A single-celled eukaryote, observed in a sample of pond water
  • Pathogenic bacteria, such as those causing dysentery, are harmful to humans
