Description

Part 1: EUKARYOTIC MICROBES Purpose: Understanding characteristics of prokaryotes and eukaryotes by viewing them under a microscope. Materials: 

Paramecium caudatum



Congo red-yeast suspension



Euglena acus



Protoslo or 1.5% Methylcellulose (optional)



5% acetic acid



transfer pipets



coverslips

Methods: Refer to page 104 in the BIOL302 Lab manual. The lab was conducted by the instructor, and result were given Results:

Figure 1: two Eukaryotic microbes at under different magnifications A) Euglena at 40X and B) Paramecium + Yeast 10X

Discussion:

Euglenas movements is faster without addition of acetic acid. However, addition of acetic acid to paramecium made it much faster. As it seen in above figures, paramecium is bigger than euglena and both are bigger than prokaryotic microbes....
