Prokaryotes (Unicellular) vs Eukaryotes (Multicellular)

Ribosome size

70 subunits

80 subunits

Nucleus, Mitochondria, Golgi Apparatus, Endoplasmic reticulum

No

Prokaryote

Yes

Eukaryote

Type of Microbes

Inert biochemical complex (Alive in host/ non-living in environment)

Simple organism: Have RNA/DNA

Very small. Must used electron microscope to see

Acellular

Eukaryotes

Algae

Important in Food chain

Photosynthesis

Cell wall: Cellulose

Unicellular/Multicellular

Singular: Alga

Fungi

Nutrients obtained: By absorption

Reproduce

Produce mold

Have typical mass of mycelia from hyphae

Singular: Fungus

Unicellular(yeast)/Multicellular (Mushroom)

Protozoa

Characteristic

Reproduction

Asexually

Sexually

Found as

Parasites

Free entities

Movement

Cilia

Flagella

Pseudopod

Nutrients obtained: absorption/ingestion from environment

Singular: Protozoan

Prokaryotes

Archaea

Extremophiles (Withstand very extreme temperature)

Thermoacidophiles (Both thermophilic and acidophilic)

Ex: Deinococcus radiodurans aka Conan the Bacterium

Polyexteremophile

Halophiles (Can tolerate saltiness)

Methanogens (reduce CO2 to methane)

Aka Methane-produced bacteria

Chemotrophic (Divert energy from organic and inorganic compound)

Lack in cell wall- peptidoglycan

Ex: Eschericha coli 0157:H7

Virulent stain

Characteristics

Various forms

Various shape

Enclosed genetic material

Naked Genetics

Singular: Bacteria

Unicellular

Importance of Microbiology

Definition

Microbies are organism that are too small to be seen using the naked eye.
