Acellular Microorganisms Virus Algae Bacteria Archaea
In the classification system of microorganisms, non-cellular microorganisms are unique. Among them, viruses are typical representatives of non-cellular microorganisms. Unlike viruses, algae, bacteria and archaea have their own unique cellular structural characteristics.
Algae usually have a relatively complete cellular structure, with cell walls, chloroplasts and other organelles, capable of photosynthesis, and complete life activities such as growth and reproduction through their own cellular mechanisms.
Although bacteria do not have a complex nuclear structure like eukaryotes, they have a cellular structure, with basic cellular components such as cell walls, cell membranes, cytoplasm and genetic materials, and rely on cell division to reproduce.
Archaea also have a cellular structure. In some aspects, such as the chemical composition of cell membranes, they are different from bacteria and eukaryotes, but they still belong to cellular microorganisms.
Viruses are completely different. Viruses do not have a cellular structure. They are generally composed of nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) and protein shells. Viruses themselves cannot carry out metabolism independently, and must parasitize in host cells, relying on the host cell's metabolic system to achieve self-replication and other life activities.
It can be seen that in the category of microorganisms, non-cellular microorganisms are mainly classified as viruses, which are fundamentally different from algae, bacteria and archaea with cellular structures.
