Explanation:5 Marks
Microorganisms, single-celled like bacteria, algae, and protozoa, or multicellular like algae and fungi can survive under all types of environments. Some termed extremophiles can live in hostile climates ranging from ice-cold sub-zero temperatures to hot springs and deserts and even marshy lands. Microorganisms are found inside the bodies of animals including humans. While some microorganisms grow on other organisms, others exist freely. Microorganisms like amoeba can live alone, while fungi and bacteria may live in colonies.
