Microorganisms are classified according to their structure. By means of flow charts‚ diagrams and tables explain the differences between Viruses‚ Bacteria‚ Cyanobacteria‚ Achaea and Fungi. Bacteria or bacterium are unicellular microorganisms. They are essentially only a few micrometres long and form of various shapes including the spheres‚ rods and spirals.

MICROBIOLOGY What is the purpose of general growth media‚ selective media‚ and differential media? Give examples of each. General Purpose Media General Purpose media is designed to grow most organisms and do not contain growth inhibitors. Standard Methods Agar and Blood Agar Bases are examples of general purpose media. Differential Media Differential media contain a component that allow an observable change when a specific chemical reaction takes place. Simmons Citrate Agar is an example

` Study Guide for Exam 1 Chapter 1: 1. What is a “microbe”? What groups of organisms are included in this category? Microbes (microorganisms) are minute living things that individually are too small to be seen with the unaided eye the group includes bacteria‚ fungi‚ protozoa‚ and microscopic algae‚ viruses Only minority of microorganisms are pathogenic(disease-producing) 2. What are some of the benefits provided by microbes? Decompose organic waste‚ producers in the ecosystem

State the principle of triple beam balance A beam balance measures mass as opposed to weight‚ so the mass you weigh will be the same on the moon as it is on earth. Gravity is taken out of the equation‚ unlike a spring balance that measures weight and would measure an article to be 1/6 of the weight on the moon as it would be on earth using the same spring balance that relied on gravity. The principle is that of moment‚ or turning force/torque)‚ calculated by force x distance. Fundamentally‚
