Answer :

The animals are categorized into 2 groups - eukaryotes and prokaryotes. The microbes like bacteria are coming under prokaryotes. They are unicellular organisms and without a true nucleus.

Viruses are the connecting link between the living and non - living. They are smaller than bacteria. The microbes less than 100 micrometer can't be seen by the naked eye. They can only visible under a microscope.

Viruses like polio, flu virus sizes are 10nm. But some of the viruses are also less than 10nm. The size of bacteria is 1 micrometer. The viruses are 10 times smaller than the bacteria.

The eukaryotic organisms are more advanced and multicellular. Their cell size is larger than bacteria and viruses. The red blood cells under the light microscope are 8 micrometers. The typical animal cells like sperm are 60 micrometers and a skin cell is 30 micrometers. The plant cell for example pollen is 90 micrometers.

The eukaryotic cells sizes are more than prokaryotes like bacteria.

The Great Oxygen Event marks the time, approximately 2.5 billion years ago, when there was enough oxygen in the atmosphere to support a major burst of life on Earth

For the first half of the Earht's history, there was no oxygen in the atmosphere. It was inhabited only by single-celled organisms.Of  those simple life forms, the cyanobacteria may have. evolved a way to take energy from sunlight, and used it to make sugars out of water and carbon dioxide. They used the same chemical process we know as photosynthesis. This released vast quantities of oxygen into the atmosphere and  triggered the evolution of complex life.
