generation, it is said that living things appear from vital forces existing in nonliving or
decomposing matter, but there could be bacterial endospore living in that situation without the
scientists knowing.

, Organisms are placed in the Three Domain classification system by using the three main
branches, "Bacteria," Archaea," and "Eukarya." They are placed in each domain based on what
kind of cell they are (eukaryotic and prokaryotic). Although prokaryotic cells are both Domain
Bacteria and Domain Archaea, the members of the Domain Archaea are very different from the
ones in Domain Bacteria as they are able to live in severe environments and are also able to

microbiologist and why?
It is more useful for a microbiologist to use the Three Domain classification system because it
classifies organisms into smaller classifications rather than being broad. The Five Kingdom
classification system is more observation based while the Three Domain classification system is
more DNA based.
An electron microscope must be used to see most viruses because viruses are too small to be
seen by the optical microscope. The electron microscope has a magnification of 5,000X to

most viruses? Why can't they be seen using a light
microscope?
Viruses can't be seen using a light microscope because light microscopes do not have as much
magnification as the electron microscope and you will not be able to see the viruses.
