Detailed explanation-1: -Microorganisms can be unicellular (single cell), multicellular (cell colony), or acellular (lacking cells). They include bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa, algae, and viruses. Bacteria are single celled microbes that lack a nucleus.
Detailed explanation-2: -False. Some fungi are multicellular. Example of a multicellular fungus is bread mould.
Detailed explanation-3: -Unicellular organisms can be prokaryotes or eukaryotes. Prokaryotes do not have cell nuclei: their structures are simple. Bacteria and archaea are all unicellular prokaryotes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Many bacteria have a multicellular phase of their lifecycle, which fall into three broad categories based on shape and mechanism of formation. A number of pressures may have selected for multicellularity, including physicochemical stress, nutrient scarcity, predation, and environmental variability.
Detailed explanation-5: -Bacteria are unicellular microorganisms and thus are generally not organized into tissues. Each bacterium grows and divides independently of any other bacterium, although aggregates of bacteria, sometimes containing members of different species, are frequently found.
