    A virus is a small infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of other organisms. A virus is a small parasite that cannot reproduce by itself. Once it infects a susceptible cell, however, a virus can direct the cell to produce many more viruses. Viruses can infect all types of life forms, such as animals and plants to microorganisms, including bacteria and archaea.…

    There are three types of environments in which cells are located which include isotonic, hypotonic and hypertonic. In an isotonic environment, the amount of water and solute are the same both inside and outside of the cell. As water drifts into the a cell, the same amount flows out creating a balanced environment both inside and outside of the cell. When there is a high level of water on the outside of the cell and a high amount of solute inside the cell, water will be drawn inside of the cell creating a hypotonic solution. The increase in water inside the cell causes the cell to become engorged and erupt. In a hypertonic environment, water will leave the cell, as the amount of water in the cell is higher than that outside of the cell. As a cell looses water in a hypertonic environment it becomes smaller in size and withers. Isotonic environments are preferred by most microbes for the most advantageous growth, although some live in slightly hypotonic solutions. (Alonzo, 2008)…

    Microorganism (from the Greek: mikrós, "small" and organismós, "organism") is an organism that is microscopic (usually too small to be seen by the naked human eye). Microorganisms live in all parts of the biosphere where there is liquid water, including soil, hot springs, on the ocean floor, high in the atmosphere and deep inside rocks within the Earth's crust. Microorganisms are critical to nutrient recycling in ecosystems as they act as decomposers.…
