Document Summary

Mcb 2000 exam one study-guide: define microbe. Why viruses do not fit in this picture. Microbes are living things ordinarily too small to be seen without magnification. Hallmarks of the cell are the characteristics that every cell must have: cell membrane, genetic material made of dna, source of energy, must regulate flow of chemicals across cell membrane, must self-replicate. Viruses do not fit in this picture because they are acellular (not made of cells) and do not have the hallmarks of the cell. They rely on their host and take over the host"s system: what are the three domains of microorganisms, what are the five kingdoms of living organisms, how microbes shape the planet? (page 5) The three domains of microorganisms are archaea, bacteria, and eukarya. The five kingdoms are plants, animals, fungi, protists, and monera. The red names are prokaryotes, the blue names are eukaryotes.
