Answer 1

Answer:

Microorganisms are divided into seven types: bacteria, archaea, protozoa, algae, fungi, viruses, and multicellular animal parasites ( helminths ). Each type has a characteristic cellular composition, morphology, mean of locomotion, and reproduction.

1.Characteristics of Viruses:

(i) Viruses are a cellular, non-cytoplasmic infectious agents.

(ii) They are smaller than bacteria, and this can pass through bacteriological filter.

(iii) Viruses are transmissible from disease to healthy organisms.

(iv) All viruses are obligate parasites and can multiply only within the living host cells.

(v) Viruses contain only a single type of nucleic acid either DNA or RNA.

(vi) Viruses are host specific that they infect only a single species and definite cells of the host organisms.

(vii) Viruses are effective in very small doses. They are highly resistant to germicides and extremes of physical conditions.

c.Fungi get their nutrition by absorbing organic compounds from the environment. Fungi are heterotrophic: they rely solely on carbon obtained from other organisms for their metabolism and nutrition. ... Their mode of nutrition defines the role of fungi in their environment.

d.Kingdom Monera: It includes bacteria and cyanobacteria. It includes prokaryotic cells lacking organized nucleus and membrane bound cell organelles. It includes organisms which exhibit autotrophic nutrition and also organisms which are heterotrophic forms.

6.a.

Prokaryotes!! (such as animals belomgimg to kingdom monera!)

The lack a true nuceus ie they have a nuceoid with no well - defined nuclear membrane too. Also they lack cell organelles and cell membrane.
