Microorganisms that remain for a short time before disappearing, like Bacillus Laterosporus.

Microorganisms that normally live in the body and protect against disease in healthy individuals.

Normal flora that can cause diseases if the body's balance is disturbed.

Spread of pathogens through direct or indirect physical contact.

Infectious agents spread via respiratory droplets over short distances (less than 1 meter).

Pathogens transmitted through air over distances greater than 1 meter.

Spread of pathogens through untreated water or poorly prepared food.

Transmission of pathogens via blood, saliva, or other body fluids.

Spread of pathogens via animals, particularly insects, either biologically or mechanically.

The use of microorganisms in various fields like food production, pharmaceuticals, and bioremediation.

The study of organisms too small to see without magnification.

Organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, helminths, algae, and prions.

Prokaryotic, unicellular organisms without a nucleus.

Prokaryotic, unicellular organisms that thrive in extreme environments.

Eukaryotic organisms that can be unicellular or multicellular.

Noncellular entities visible only by electron microscopy, made of nucleic acid and a protein coat.

Inert, resting forms of bacteria that can survive extreme conditions.

The formal system of organizing, classifying, and naming living organisms.

Use of microbes for production of foods, drugs, and vaccines.

The process by which some bacteria form spores in unfavorable conditions.

The process where spores change into vegetative form when conditions improve.

Organelles known as the power site, where ATP is produced.

Granules of RNA involved in protein synthesis, found free or attached to the ER.

Network of membranes, smooth for lipid synthesis, rough for protein synthesis.

Flat sacs that package and ship proteins and lipids from the ER.

The process by which cells (like neutrophils and macrophages) engulf pathogens.

A nonspecific defense mechanism characterized by redness, heat, swelling, and pain.

Cells responsible for cell-mediated immunity, targeting viruses and fungi.

Cells that produce antibodies for antibody-mediated immunity, mainly against bacteria.
