Kinds of Microorganism :

• Archaeon (2 facts) - Archaea are characterized by: 1. the presence of characteristic tRNAs and ribosomal RNAs, 2. the absence of peptidoglycan cell walls, 3. the presence of ether-linked lipids built from branched-chain subunits, and 4. their occurrence in unusual habitats. While archaea resemble Bacteria in morphology and genomic organization, they resemble eukarya in their method of genomic replication
• Bacterium (4 facts) - A small, typically one-celled, prokaryotic Microorganism
• Chlamydia (4 facts) - An Organism which is intermediate in size and complexity between a Virus and a Bacterium and which is parasitic within the cells of Insects and Ticks
• Virus (5 facts) - An Organism consisting of a core of a single nucleic acid enclosed in a protective coat of protein. A virus may replicate only inside a host living cell. A virus exhibits some but not all of the usual characteristics of living things
