    This document provides information about microorganisms and their sizes. It discusses: 1. The sizes of bacteria and viruses range from micrometers to nanometers respectively. Eukaryotic cells are generally 10-30 micrometers while prokaryotic cells like E. coli are around 1 micrometer. 2. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells differ in that prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles and nuclei, have circular DNA, and reproduce by binary fission. Eukaryotes are generally multicellular and more complex. 3. Plant and animal cells contain various organelles that perform important functions like respiration, protein synthesis, waste disposal, and more. Their

    MICROPARA REVIEWER - QUIZ

    ● Importance of Microbiology
    1. They live in/ our bodies.
    2. Our body has opportunistic pathogens
    3. Major producers of oxygen
    4. Helps in decomposition
    5. Decomposed industrial waste
    6. They are involved in elemental cycles such as nitrogen cycle
    7. Algae and bacteria serve as food
    8. Used to produce certain enzymes and chemicals in the food industry
    9. Fungi and bacteria produce antibiotics
    10. Essential in genetic engineering
    11. Used as “Cell Models”
    12. Cause diseases

    Units of measurement - metric units (micrometers and nanometers) are used to express the
    sizes of microbes.
    ● Micron (μ)
    ● Millimicron (mμ) have been replaced by the terms
    ● Micrometer(μm) and
    ● Nanometer (nm)
    ●
    sizes of bacteria - micrometers
    sizes of viruses- nanometers
    ● EUKARYOTIC CELLS - Eukaryotes (eu = true; karyo refers to a nut or nucleus) are so
    named because they have a true nucleus, in that their DNA is enclosed by a nuclear
    membrane. Most animal and plant cells are 10 to 30 micrometers in diameter, about 10
    times larger than most prokaryotic cells.

    ● PROKARYOTIC CELL - about 10 times smaller than eukaryotic cells. A typical E coli
    cell is about 1 gm wide and 2 to 3 micrometer long. Structurally, prokaryotes are very
    simple cells when compared with eukaryotic cells, and yet they are able to perform the
    necessary processes of life-Reproduction of prokaryotic cells is by binary fission—the
    simple division of one cell into two cells, after DNAreplication (Chapter 6) and the
    formation of a separating membrane and cell wall.

    PROKARYOTIC EUKARYOTIC
    Nucleus Absent Present
    Membrane-bound organelles Absent Present
    Cell Structure Unicellular Mostly multicellular; some
    unicellular
    Cell size Smaller (0.1-5 μm) Larger (10-100 μm)
    Complexity Simpler More complex
    DNA form Circular Linear
    Example Bacteria, archaea Animals, plants, fungi, protists
