Microscopic Organism Lab Conclusion

This photo was taken at x650.  One thing unique about this cell is that these look like pink star's like Patrick from Spongebob.  One thing my partner and I noticed was that there was a green star, but then inside the green star contained a red or pink circular shape thing inside the green star cell.  This amoeba is eukaryotic and is heterotrophic.

This photo was taken at x650.  One unique characteristic about this cell is that the cell looks like blue rice.  One observation my partner and I had about this cell was that you could clearly see the small dark black nucleus clearly from the microscope.  This euglena cell is eukaryotic and autotrophic.

This photo was taken at x400.  One thing unique about this cell is that there are no chloroplasts in this cell.  One observation my partner and I noticed was that there are little dots that are chained together to form lines.  This cyanobacteria is prokaryotic and autotrophic.

This photo was taken at x650.  I noticed that the bacteria cell is a lot smaller compared to the other cells my partner and I had observed.  One thing I observed about this cell is that there is not only one kind of cell, there are three types of cells compared to normal cells that usually have only one kind.  This bacteria cell is prokaryotic and can be autotrphic and heterotrophic.

This picture was taken at x650.  One thing my partner and I noticed about this slide was that this cell looks really scattered and does not like like one cell.  One observation my partner and I had while looking at this cell was that there is a dark spot near next to each cell.  This spirogyra cell is eukaryotic and is autotrophic.

The power of the microscope was x650 when this photo was taken.  One thing unique about this slide is that there is one section of the cell that is pink and then there is another section in the cell that is green.  One thing that my partner and I noticed was that you could see the different circular parts of the cell.  This ligustrum cell is prokaryotic and is autotrophic.

The power of the microscope is x650.  My partner and I noticed that this cell was different from the others because the cell has a nucleus that is black.  One observation my partner and I had was that you could clearly see the different strands in the cell.  This animal cell is eukaryotic and is heterotrophic.

     For each organism, I was able to identify different parts.  In the animal cell, I was able to identify single muscle fibers, striations, and the nucleus.  In the ligustrum, I was able to identify the chloroplasts, epidermis cell, and the vein.  In the spirogyra, I was able to identify the chloroplast, cell wall, and cytoplasm.  In the bacteria cells, I was able to identify the three types of bacteria cells named the coccus, bacillus, and the spirilum.  In the cyanobacteria, I was able to identify one single cell out of all the cells linked together to form a larger piece.  In the euglena, I was able to identify the nucleus, chloroplasts and a faint sign of the flagellum.  In the amoeba, I was able to identify the nucleus, cell membrane, pseudopods, and the cytoplasm.  The eukaryotic cells were able to be identified with a nucleus.  The prokaryotic cells were identified without a nucleus.  Most of the autotrophs were smaller and less complex.  The heterotrophic were more complex and some evne had other autotrophs inside them.
