Micro organisms
Fungus
Mushrooms, mold, yeast, and toadstools make up the kingdom fungi. All fungus are organisms that feed on organic matter, and reproduce through spores. Fungi may be the cause of disease including, ringworm, athlete's foot, candida and thrush. Although some fungi are harmful, many are important in daily life. Fungi are vital in decomposition, yeast for bread, penicillin, and other antibiotics. (http://mrblacksarmy.weebly.com)
Protists
Amoeba, euglena, paramecium, and diatoms are all a part of the kingdom Protist. Protist are eukaryotic organisms, found in aquatic environments that are classified into three groups. Animal-like protists, plant-like protists, and fungus-like protist. Some protist cause disease such as malaria, giardia, and African sleeping sickness, but many are very helpful to our environment. Protists are very important in oxygen production, they are also ound in gasoline, and without protist there would be no phytoplankton to feed our marine world. (http://mrblacksarmy.weebly.com)
Bacteria
Bacteria are split up into two kingdoms, eubacteria, and archaebacteria, although many people still classify them together under the name monera. All bacteria are unicellular microorganisms that lack a nucleus. Some can cause diseases such as strep throat, meningitis, cholera, E. coli, and the bubonic plague. Luckily for us antibiotics can be used to kill most bacterias. Some bacteria are also very beneficial and help us crease milk, cheese, and yogurt. Without bacteria we would have a very hard time digesting our food (http://mrblacksarmy.weebly.com)
Viruses
Viruses must be inside a living cell to grow and reproduce. Most viruses can't survive very long if they are not inside a living host such as a plant, animal, or person. Viruses cause many diseases such as chickenpox, measles, and the flu. Unlike bacteria antibiotics do not work on a virus. Edward Jenner once injected a very small amount of a virus into a living host, the host's body reacted by fighting off the virus, and curing the host. This process is now known as creating a vaccine.(http://mrblacksarmy.weebly.com)
