Microbes forms of life too small to be seen with the naked eye (include viruses) Microorganisms (do not include viruses) Looked at leather under the microscope he created with 10x magnification. First man to describe how small molecules that cannot be seen by the naked eye look first description of a microorganism. Polypeptides are the building blocks for enzymes and other proteins. Most important function is as enzymes as catalysts of chemical reaction. Ftsz creates a pinch so that the cell can divide. Forms a ring to know where to start to pinch the cell for division. Do not replicate outside of a host cell independently. Inert and nonreactive outside a host cell. Little to no biochemical activity outside of a host cell. Soup of chemicals found on earth led to the initial synthesis of the first forms of macromolecules.
