Explanation:

What are microorganisms?

Microorganisms are minute organisms that are invisible to the naked eye. Microorganisms are so small that they can only be seen under a microscope. These include a huge range of organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, algae, protozoa, etc.

Harmful effects

These microbes can be beneficial as well as harmful in many ways which are listed below

Food spoilage

Some micro-organisms such as fungus spoil our food. For example, bread, when left unused under moist conditions, gets spoilt by fungus, producing a white cotton-like growth on the bread. This leads to food poisoning.

Spreading of diseases

Micro-organisms cause diseases in animals. For example, in humans, bacteria cause diseases such as tuberculosis, cholera, typhoid, etc.

Disinfecting the surfaces where the microbe resides

It spreads the harmful and poisonous substance where it resides. For example if it resides on a dirty place like stagnant water and then it carries the dirt and resides on food which is kept open.
