Make several outline drawings to illustrate the successive changes of 1. shape of the amoeba. Make drawings of the Amoeba you observe, and label its structures. C O O liko mer 0 AS 6 0 O Paramecium -- Paramecia are quite large, straw-colored, slipper-shaped and move rapidly, and they are thus very noticeable. If there are Paramecia in your field of view you probably will recognize them immediately. Often, however, students do have difficulty both finding a Paramecium, and after they have found one, making it move slowly enough so they can study it at high magnification. The trick to finding a Paramecium is to scan the entire slide quickly using the scanning lens. Then, if you do not find one, make a new slide and search again. Often, Paramecia tend to move to the edges of the coverslip, and even "escape" the coverslip at its edges. The trick to slowing the Paramecia is to mix a drop of methyl cellulose with a drop of the cell culture, as…Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (unicellular fungus): 1.

Identify whether the organism is a green alga, a diatom, a dinoflagellate, Eubacterium, or a Cyanobacterium. Explain the characteristic(s) that led you to that identification. 6. a. What type of microscopy (brightfield, darkfield, or phase contrast) was to obtain the image? Explain how you can tell. b. Name a different type of microscopy would be also appropriate to use to visualize the organism in the image. How would the image change if you used that type of microscopy instead? 7. The image was taken using a microscope that has 10X, 40X, and 100X objectives. What is a possible magnification for the ocular lens on this microscope? Explain your response or show calculations.Part B. Please turn in typewritten answers to the following questions 1. Asexual reproduction in diatoms occurs when the two valves move slightly apart and the cell divides in a plane parallel to the valves. A new valve is formed which nests within the parent valve. What happens to the average cell size in a population of diatoms reproducing in this manner? How has diatom life history evolved to resolve this issue of changing cell size? Explain. 2. Many benthic invertebrates produce planktonic larvae. Please provide a rationale for a meroplanktonic lifestyle. That is, what are the putative advantages of spending only part of the life cycle in the plankton? 3. Many species of zooplankton will undergo daily vertical migrations, spending the daylight hours lower in the water column and the evening hours closer to the surface. Please speculate as to why so many species display this common behavior.
