Microbiology is the scientific field that studies microorganisms, which are living things too small to be seen with the naked eye.

The microbial world encompasses all the microbes, including bacteria, algae, fungi, protozoa, and helminths.

Microorganisms are classified into two main groups: prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Prokaryotes are simple cells lacking a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, like bacteria.

Eukaryotes are complex cells with a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, like fungi, algae, and protozoa.

A cell that lacks a true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. They are typically smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells.

A cell that has a true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. They are typically larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells.

A group of single-celled organisms that lack a true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. They are found in a wide variety of habitats.

A group of single-celled organisms that lack a true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. They are often found in extreme environments like hot springs or salty lakes.

A rigid outer layer that surrounds the cell membrane of bacteria. It provides structural support and protection.

A type of lipid found in cell membranes. It helps to maintain the stability and fluidity of the membrane.

A region within a prokaryotic cell where the genetic material (DNA) is located. It is not enclosed by a membrane.

A membrane-bound structure that contains the genetic material (DNA) of a eukaryotic cell. It is the control center of the cell.

Specialized structures within a eukaryotic cell that perform specific functions. Examples include mitochondria, chloroplasts, and Golgi apparatus.

Rod-shaped structures in eukaryotic cells where DNA is wrapped around proteins called histones. They help to organize and compact the DNA.

The process by which prokaryotic cells divide. It involves a simple duplication of the DNA and splitting of the cell into two daughter cells.

The process by which eukaryotic cells divide. It involves a complex series of steps that ensure the correct distribution of chromosomes to daughter cells.

The process of breaking down food molecules to release energy. In prokaryotes, it occurs at the cell membrane, while in eukaryotes, it occurs in the mitochondria.

The three-domain system classifies life into three main groups: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.
