Lab 17 Goals and Objectives: Exercise 6: Protozoans, Algae, and Cyanobacteria Observe representative members of various phyla on wet mount and prepared slides, know by name not phylum: Amoeba (pseudopods for motility) Fig 6.1#6 Paramecium (cilia for motility) Fig 6.1#9 Trypanosoma (flagella for motility) not in book Trichomonas (flagella for motility) not in book Plasmodium (non motile intracellular pathogen) not in book Euglena (flagella for motility) Fig 6.2#1&2 Spirogyra (filamentous green algae) Fig 6.4#14 Diatoms Fig 6.6 Dinoflagellate (flagellated algae) Fig 6.3#11 Anabaena (Cyanobacteria: Prokaryote not Eukaryote!) Fig 6.7#1-3 Make and observe wet mounts of pond sample to identify “creatures”: usually contains nice diatoms, green algae, and cyanobacteria!
ProtozoaAlgae Amoeba (pseudopods) Paramecium (cilia) Trypanosoma (flagella) Plasmodium (non-motile intracellular parasite) Prokaryote-Bacteria (Note no organelles are visible in this prokaryote. Most of the above protozoa and algae eukaryotes have clearly visible organelles) Euglena (flagella) Spirogyra (Green algae) Dinoflagellate Diatom Anabaena Cyanobacteria *Color version available at Trichomonas (flagella)
