Explanation
This question is asking us to identify the organism that is not a micro-organism. Micro-organisms are tiny living things that can only be seen with a microscope. The options given are Virus, Tapeworm, Coccus, and Vibro cholera. Out of these options, the correct answer is Tapeworm. Tapeworms are not micro-organisms because they are relatively large parasites that can be seen with the naked eye. They live in the digestive tracts of animals, including humans, and can cause health problems. On the other hand, viruses, cocci, and Vibro cholera are micro-organisms. Viruses are tiny infectious agents that can only replicate inside living cells. Cocci are spherical bacteria that can cause diseases such as strep throat and pneumonia. Vibro cholera is a type of bacterium that causes cholera, a serious and sometimes deadly disease. In summary, Tapeworm is not a micro-organism while Virus, Coccus, and Vibro cholera are micro-organisms. It is essential to understand the characteristics and types of micro-organisms to identify and classify them correctly.
