Microorganisms | Genetics | Biology | FuseSchool

Would you be surprised to hear that over 60% of life on earth is so small that it can only be seen with a microscope? We call all of these little things ‘microbes’ or ‘microorganisms’.
There is estimated to be about 2 to 3 billion different species of these little guys! And the best thing? We can’t live without them!!
Oxygen to breathe, food to eat. Thank you microbes.
They generate oxygen in the atmosphere and they fix nitrogen in our soils so that plants can grow, forming the base of our food chains.
In this video we’re going to look at a few of them and what they do; both good and bad!
