Lesson 2 - Microorganisms: Bacteria

Introduction

We’ll start this module by discussing the most commonly found microorganism on Earth - Bacteria. Bacteria are some of the smallest living things in the world. They have just one cell (single-celled or unicellular). They can be found in almost every environment on our planet. Even including the bodies of other living things such as animals. Not all bacteria are bad. Our body is full of helpful bacteria that we need every day to survive.
