Best Answer

Any microorganism can make us ill once it colonizes. For example, on your skin right now are varieties of bacteria along with yeast. This normal flora does not make us ill (usually). But if something gets out of balance, the bacteria or yeast can begin to multiply. Our bodies initially try to wall off the infection if it is inside our bodies; on the skin, it is harder. If our defenses are low or we cannot fight it off, an infection is well underway.

Through microscope we are able to learn the structure of micro organisms like bacteria, plasmodium, and cells. 2) The study of Classification and taxonomy have taught us how to arrange organisms in different groups in accordance to their similarities and differences.
