Types of Microorganisms. 1. Bacteria. Bacteria are unicellular organisms, about few microns in size (1 micron (Âµm) = 1/1,000 of a millimetre), consisting of DNA, cytoplasm, structures needed for metabolism and reproduction, cell membrane, cell wall and capsule (Picture 1). Certain bacteria use flagella, tail-like appendages, to propel themselves.
All U.S. savings bonds have a final maturity date when they stop earning interest. Investors often lose track of this date because the U.S. Treasury Department has extended the original maturity of some bonds up to 30 years.
EE savings bonds only earn interest for 30 years; if you happen to be sitting on a bond that is older than 30 years, it doesn't make much sense to keep it invested in an interest-less bond, so cash it in.
