WHAT ARE MICROORGANISMS?
CAD IAD MICROORGANAIGH?
They are viruses,
fungi
& bacteria
They are wee invisible beasties & they are alive!
Is víris, fungais & baictéir iad
Beithigh beaga dofheicthe atá iontu & tá siad beo!
WHERE DO YOU FIND THEM?
CÁ BHFAIGHTEAR IAD?
In ourselves
the human body has 3 times more bacteria cells than human ones!
This is called the microbiome.
Ionainn féin
tá 3 oiread níos mó cealla baictéir i gcorp an duine ná atá cinn daonna!
Tugtar an microbhithóm ar seo.
WHAT ARE THE MAIN TYPES?
CÉARD IAD NA PRÍOMH CINEÁLACHA?
Fungi
They are the largest microbe!
Most are helpful (like the ones making antibiotics)
Some are tasty (mushrooms are fungi
Fungais
Is iad an miocrób is mó!
Tá an chuid is mó dóibh cabhrach (cosúil leis na cinn a dhéanann antaibheathaigh)
Tá cuid acu blasta (is fungais iad beacáin)
