Used to see objects in different planes = Confocal microscope Instrument to see microbes = Microscope One of the domains of life = Archaea Organism without organelles = Prokaryotic The use of microbes to clean waste and industrial pollution = Bioremediation Microorganism that cannot metabolize = Virus Used in fluorescent microscopes = UV Destroys microorganisms = Antiseptic Classification of organisms = Taxonomy Waterborne disease = Cholera Antibiotic discovered by chance = Penicillin Spontaneous generation of life = Abiogenesis Interaction where one organism benefits and the other is harmed = Parasitism Microorganisms as named by Van Leeuwenhoek = Animalcules Was the first to vaccinate someone = Jenner Used to produce bread = Yeast
