Why are microscopic organisms such as rotifers not typically studied by microbiologists?
A
Because rotifers are multicellular and microbiologists focus on unicellular organisms.
B
Because rotifers are not found in aquatic environments.
C
Because rotifers do not have any cellular structure.
D
Because rotifers are too small to be observed with standard microscopes.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the definition of microbiology: Microbiology is the study of microorganisms, which are typically unicellular organisms such as bacteria, viruses, and some fungi and algae.
Identify the characteristics of rotifers: Rotifers are microscopic, but they are multicellular organisms, meaning they are composed of more than one cell.
Consider the focus of microbiologists: Microbiologists primarily study unicellular organisms, which are organisms made up of a single cell.
Evaluate the options given: The correct answer should align with the focus of microbiologists on unicellular organisms.
Conclude that rotifers, being multicellular, are not the primary focus of microbiologists, which is why they are not typically studied by them.
