$\huge\pink{\mid{\underline{\overline{\textbf{ANSWER}}}\mid}}$

As we all know by now, there are organisms that are extremely small and can’t be viewed without the help of a microscope. Some microorganisms are not harmful, in fact, some are quite helpful (like the bacteria that is found in your gut). But a majority of them cause a lot of diseases in man and other organisms. Microorganisms include bacteria, algae, fungi, archaea, and protozoa. Even though viruses are very small and cause diseases, they are not technically classified as a microorganism as they are not considered to be “alive.”

Most of the microorganisms that we know are free-living, while others are parasites. Let’s take a glance at harmful microorganisms around us.

Answer 2

Harmful microorganisms include fungi, bacteria, protozoa, etc. They cause several diseases in human beings, animals, and plants which can even lead to death. The harmful microorganisms not only damage the human body but also the food we eat. Such disease-causing microorganisms are called pathogens.
