 * __Types of micro-organisms__**
 * Bacteria** - A microscopic organism which is unicellular and comes in many different shapes,colours and sizes.
 * Fungi** - Microscopic organism which causes moulds, stains, Athletes Foot and many more infections.
 * Multicellular** - Made up of more than one cell.
 * Pathogen** - A disease causing micro-organism.
 * Unicellular** - Made up of only one cell.
 * Virus** - A very small pathogen which can only live by taking over another living cell.

__**Bacterial Cell Structure**__
 * Cell** **membrane** - Allows entry and exit of nutrients and toxins into and outside a cell.
 * Cell** **wall** - Gives the cell its shape and structure.
 * Chromosome-** A collection of genes in a long chain that are inside the nucleus.
 * Cytoplasm** - Where life functions are carried out.
 * Extra-cellular** - Outside the cell.
 * Gelatinous** **Sheath** - A zone of protection for a cell.
 * Flagella** - Jelly like legs that are generally at the back of a cell which allows the cell to move.
 * Nuclear** **region** - Contains genetic material of a cell.

 * Agar** **Jelly** - Food provided for bacteria in oredr for them to carry out MRS GREN.
 * Aseptic** **Techniques** - A technique used to prevent something from contamination by other microbes.
 * Incubate** - Keeping an organism at optimal environmental conditions (Temperature, humidity, food, etc) for its growth and development.
 * Inoculate** - To introduce a substance into a micro organism.


 * __Types of Bacteria__**

 * Cocci** - Round shaped bacteria.
 * Spirochetes** - Twisted bacteria but flexible like a telephone cord.
 * Vibrio** - Bacteria curved like a comma.
 * Spirilla -** twisted like a rigid screw

Absorbing hyphae** - porous hyphea that feeds by using extra celluler digestion so the fungi can obtain energy

 * Spore** - a tiny particle able to grow into a new organism.
 * Hyphae** - a long chain of cells
