Study Notes
Definitions and Etymology
- "Bios" denotes living organisms, forming the basis of biological terms.
- "Logy" translates to study; therefore, biology is defined as the study of living organisms.
- "Micro" implies very small, typically requiring a microscope for observation.
Microbiology Overview
- Microbiology involves studying microorganisms, also known as microbes.
- Types of microorganisms include:
- Bacteria: Single-celled organisms that can be beneficial or harmful.
- Algae: Photosynthetic organisms found in aquatic environments, crucial for ecosystems.
- Protozoa: Diverse group of single-celled eukaryotic organisms, often motile.
- Fungi: Includes yeasts and molds, important for decomposition and medicine.
- Viruses: Infectious agents that require a host cell to replicate, often debated as living or non-living.
Viruses and Classification
- Many scientists classify viruses as non-living due to their lack of cellular structure and metabolic functions.
- The term "infectious agents" or "infectious particles" is frequently used to describe viruses.
