Micro-organisms

Micro-organisms are tiny living organisms that are usually too small to be seen with the naked eye because they require a microscope to be observed.

There are five main groups of micro-organisms. They are protozoa, fungi, bacteria, algae, and viruses.

Protozoa are unicellular organisms that lack a cell wall. Some examples of protozoa include Amoeba, Plasmodium, and Paramecium.
