Summary Introduction

To define:

The term ‘Bacteria’, ‘Archaea’, ‘Protists’ and ‘Fungus’.

Introduction:

Our earth is filled with diverse form of life. Some are so small that human eye can’t see them with naked eyes and some are so huge that we can’t estimate its actual length like some tall trees.

Explanation of Solution

Bacteria:

Bacteria are minute, single-celled life forms that flourish in diverse conditions. These creatures can live in soil, the sea and inside the human gut. Human's relationship with microorganisms is mind boggling. Bacteria helps human in many ways, for example, by souring milk into yogurt or assisting with our digestion.

Archaea:

Archaea are single-celled microorganisms with structure like microscopic organisms. They are developmentally unmistakable from bacteria and eukaryotes and structure the third space of life. Archaea are commit anaerobes living in conditions low in oxygen (e.g., water, soil).

Protists:

Protists are diverse collection of living beings. While exemptions exist, they are basically minute and unicellular, or comprised of a single cell. The cell of protists are exceptionally composed with a nucleus and concentrated cell apparatus called organelles.

Fungus:

A fungus is any individual from the group of eukaryotic living beings that incorporates microorganisms, for example, yeasts and molds, just as the more recognizable mushrooms.These life forms are delegated a realm, which is isolated from the other eukaryotic life realms of plants and animals.
