Environmental Microbiology: The Role of Microorganisms in Environmental Processes

Cell Structure and Function → Environmental Microbiology Case Studies

This learning path introduces high school biology students to the fundamental roles of microorganisms in environmental processes. It covers the major microbial groups (bacteria, archaea, fungi, viruses), their involvement in biogeochemical cycles, and their symbiotic relationships with other organisms. The path builds from basic biology and chemistry concepts to a comprehensive understanding of microbial ecology.
