    The document discusses different categories of organisms including macro organisms like rodents, insects, and parasites and micro organisms like bacteria, fungi, yeasts, and viruses. It further categorizes micro organisms based on their functions as useful, harmful, or disease-causing. Useful micro organisms help break down dead plants and animals or are involved in food production like vinegar, yogurt, and cheese. Harmful micro organisms can damage, sicken, or kill organisms while disease-causing pathogens specifically cause illnesses. Proper actions must be taken to prevent harmful microbes.

    1.1 Categories of organisms.

    - Macro organisms
    - Micro organisms

    Macro organisms can be big, and are very clearly visible with
    our eyes. However that does not mean that we always see
    them. They can be hidden somewhere.

    The different types of macro organisms are:


    - Rodents (rats and mice)
    - Insects
    - Parasites.

    Sometimes parasites are also categorized under micro


    organisms. Example a bacteria who stay alive while causing
    others damage, illness or death.

    The different types of micro organisms are:


    - Bacteria
    - Fungi, yeast and mold
    - Virus

    1.2 Categories of organisms by function.

    There are different classifications of micro organisms. It all


    depends on their function.
    They are classified as below:
    a- Useful micro organisms
    b- Harmful micro organisms
    c- Decease causing micro organisms (also called
    pathogens)

    Without micro organisms we cannot live, but some micro


    organisms can cause us severe damage, illness and even in
    the worst case death. We have to take therefore several
    actions to prevent bad micro organisms from existing.

    a. Useful micro organisms

    Most micro organisms have a useful function. In nature they


    help to “eat” dead plants or animals and they clean water.
    Concerning to food, bacteria fulfill a very important role in
    the preparation of example: vinegar, yogurt and sauerkraut.
    Some fungi are important with the preparation of cheese,
    example: blue cheese and camembert. Certain types of
    yeast are important for the preparation of wine, beer and
    bread.

    b. Harmful micro organisms
