HELP!!!!What organisms are covered in micobiology?What kingdom do they reside in? Why?How are they different ?

Question

please help, I cant find this answer! I have a test tommorow!

Thank you!

Answer 1

A number of kingdoms are covered in microbiology. There are three domains, which are larger than kingdoms that one must first recognize. These domains are called: Eubacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. All of eubacteria (true bacteria) and Archaea are considered microorganisms and would be covered in microbiology. If you are using the old 5 kingdom classification system then Archaea and Eubacteria are both put together in the Kingdom Monera. As for Eukarya the protists and some fungi are all that would be covered in microbiology. Only some fungi are covered because most fungi are multicellular and large. Only small fungi, such as yeast, would be covered in microbiology. Most protists are unicellular, except for the red algae and most brown algae.

So basically (under the old 5 kingdom classification system) the kingdoms covered in microbiology would be: Monera, Protista, and some of Fungi.
Under the updated 6 kingdom system: Eubacteria (bacteria), Archaea, Protista, and some fungi.

Some disease causing agents, such as viruses, are also usually covered in a microbiology course.

Answer 2

Microorganisms (microbes). the main focus is on prokaryotes which are in the domains Eubacteria and Archaebacteria (generally just called bacteria). These organisms differ from the domain Eukarya (eukaryotes). Eukaryotes tend to be multicellular, have a membrane-bound nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, have multiple linear chromosomes, contain mitochondria (and chloroplasts in plant cells), Also the ribosomes of eukaryotes are larger than those of prokaryotes, and (excluding plants and fungi) typically don't have cell walls. The cell walls of plants are composed of cellulose, and for fungi its chitin.

This is in contrast to prokaryotes which are unicellular, don't have membrane bound organelles or a nucleus for that matter. Instead they have a nucleoid region that simply has one ring-shaped chromosome of DNA. They have smaller ribosomes, no mitochondria or chloroplasts and typically have cell walls composed of peptidoglycan or are acid-fast.

Other organisms covered in microbiology are viruses, fungi, protists, and helminths (worms).

Answer 3

Hi. For one group, all of the life near ocean vents. But just about every THING has microbes.

Answer 4

you are thinking of eubacteria and archaebacteria

also microbiology can cover fungi, protozoans, and protists

nonliving microbes includes viruses and prions

Answer 5

small ones?
