Micro Organisms

This document discusses the types and locations of microorganisms. It notes that prokaryotic cells like bacteria are unicellular and do not have membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells like fungi are multicellular. Microorganisms can be found living solitary or in colonies in various locations like oceans, soil, hot springs, and on dead plants and animals. They require specific environmental conditions for growth and reproduction, including suitable temperatures, nutrients, atmospheres, and mediums.
