Microorganisms: The Role Of Micro-Organisms In The Environment

A micro-organism is an organism that is very small for us to see with our naked eye. Microorganisms are usually described using single celled or unicellular organisms. However, some unicellular protists are visible to our eyes. Examples of them are: algae, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Microorganisms play a fundamental role in supporting and maintaining nature and life. In the human body they aid in digestion and help prevent invasion by harmful bacteria. Algae is a non-flowering and aquatic plant. It includes seaweeds too. Algae contain chlorophyll but has no true parts of a plant like stems, roots, leaves and vascular tissue. They are large groups of eukaryotic, phototrophic and oxygenic organisms. It can grow from microscopic organism to a large and thick seaweed. Fungi are organisms that cna Microorganisms have altered to live almost each and every corner of the world. They live everywhere: lakes, oceans and etc. They are food sources for larger organisms. They also live on land where they recycle nutrients that useful. A lot of them, live within other larger organisms. It is said that microorganism is made of a

The useful effect comes from their metabolic activities in the environment. Their association with plants and animals. They also help in biotechnological processes. When thousands of leaves fall during the autumn season, micro-organisms actually go around them and eat the dead leaves. The most important effect of the micro-organisms are their ability to recycle the primary elements that make up a living system, e.g. Co2, oxygen and nitrogen. In different molecular forms, these elements occur. And they must be shared among all types of organisms. By different types pf organisms, Co2 and nitrogen are needed as nutrients. The diversity of metabolism that exist in the microbes ensure that all these elements will always be available on their own
