Theory
| Number | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | The Invisible Living World: Beyond our Naked Eye | This theory describes the discovery of cells and microorganisms, their structure and functions, and the role of microscopes in studying them. It also emphasises the diversity of microorganisms and their beneficial roles in the environment, food production, and agriculture. |
Practice Questions
| Number | Name | Type | Difficulty | Marks | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Father of Microbiology | Other | easy | 1 m. | This question emphasises the scientist who first observed living microorganisms and contributed to the development of microbiology. |
| 2. | Virus | Other | easy | 1 m. | This question describes the unique nature of viruses as acellular microorganisms that can reproduce only inside living host cells. |
