Micro Organisms Worksheet

Microorganisms are very tiny living things that cannot be seen with the naked eye but require a microscope for visibility. They can be found in our bodies, reproduce, feed, and grow. While some microorganisms like bacteria that decompose leaves or yeast are useful, others like bacteria on raw meat can be harmful. Microorganisms cause issues like tooth decay by eating sugar in the mouth, so cleaning teeth helps prevent decay by removing sugar for them to consume. Viruses are the smallest microorganisms.
