      Like what you guys mentioned about \"tiny micro-organism\".
      \"Micro\" is a technical term but not tiny. What is tiny to one person might not be tiny .. so it is very subjective, whereas \"micro\" is a more suitable technical term.

      Microorganisms are very tiny living things. They are so small that you need a microscope to see them.

            Btw, her FT told her 'Some can be very tiny.\" is right because some are very tiny, some are just tiny. I think either one of her friends or she questioned teacher about the times of magnification for tiny ones and that for very tiny ones. :lol:

                    IIJ, her teacher was correct....some is tiny, some are very tiny....
                    if the teacher can explain and give examples to justify the question, i would think that it was a question well set. Now, kids will know what are the different types of microorganism and their size.

                    The size of microorganisms varies from a fraction of a μm for viruses, which can only be seen in the electron microscope, to several cm for filamentous algae or fungi, for example:
