Is it true or false that Leeuwenhoek's observed every type of microbe except protozoa and viruses?
Viruses are very small and can be considered ultramicroscopic. We were not able to see them with the best light microscopes as we could bacteria (prokaryotes). We have to use an electron microscope to see them as they are that small. This was not available until recently. Leeuwenhoek's microscope was not strong enough to see such small things.

What is a microbial infection?
A microbial infection is any infection caused by a microbe, or microorganism. Microbial infections can be caused by viruses, protozoa, bacteria and some fungi.
Which type of microbe usually makes you throw up?
Viruses are the most common type of microbe that can make you throw up. In particular, viruses like norovirus and rotavirus are known to cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These viruses are often spread through contaminated food, water, or close contact with infected individuals.
What are the four main microbe groups?
Microbes are sorted into these 4 groups: Viruses, Fungi, Bacteria and Protozoa
What is an microbe?
bacteria or viruses, which are capable of causing disease
Are germs microbes?
yes because germs and microbes are carrying the same bacteria
A small often microscopic animal or insect is also known as what?
A small often microscopic animal or insect is often referred to as a microorganism or a microbe. These terms encompass a wide range of tiny organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa.
What are groups of the microorganisms?
protozoa fungi bacteria viruses prions
Why is it not really correct to call a virus a microbe?
It is incorrect to call a virus a microbe because a microbe is a living organism, while a virus is not. Viruses do not exhibit all the characteristics necessary to be classified as a living organism.
What are the groups that woods are classified?
viruses, bacteria, algae, fungi, and protozoa
Which type of microbe can be killed by an antibiotic?
Antibiotics can only kill bacteria. Not fungi or viruses.
What is the smallest microbe?
Viruses are the smallest microbes known that cause disease. They are sub-microscopic. This means that they can not be seen with a regular microscope because they are too small (measured in nanometers). It takes an electron microscope to see a virus particle. The second microbe that is among the smallest would be bacteria and then probably protists, as a generalization, after that (protists and bacteria have wider ranges of sizes than viruses). Bacteria are microscopic living organisms, while the viruses are non-living sub-microscopic organisms. Protists are single-celled living organisms, such as protozoa.
What are Five types of generalization?
bacteria. viruses. fungi. protozoa .(protists). parasites.
