Microscope Lab

We used 400 power to take a picture of this spiryoga. It is unique because it is unique because it is all in a very straight column. We observed that the cell looked very rigid and straight. This is a autotrophic eukaryote. 

We used 400 power to take a picture of this cyanobacteria. It is unique because it was one of the first bacteria and it changed the Earth by making oxygen. We observed they were like beads that were connected. It is a prokaryotic eukaryote.

We used 100 power to view this amoeba. It is unique because of its pseudopods which make it look like a ¨blob.¨ We noticed that it was very big because this picture only used 100 magnification when most of the others required 400. It is a eukartyotic heterotroph.

We used 400 power to observe this Euglena cell. We noticed it is very tiny. We could not see the chloroplast and we could barely see the flagellum. It is both autotrophic and heterotrophic and it is eukaryotic. 

We used 400 power to see this ligustrum. It is unique because there are a lot of cells clumped up. We noticed there was a red center which was a vein. It is a eukaryotic autotrophic cell.

This picture of bacteria was taken with 400 power. It is unique because it is very abundant and there are countless bacteria everywhere. We observed that the bacteria looked like small squiggles. It is a prokaryotic heterotroph.

We used 400 power microscope to capture this picture of the animal tissue. It is unique in that it is made in bands of fibers known as striations. We observed that the cells were long and thin. We determined that this was a heterotrophic eukaryotic cell.

In this lab, we observed microscopic organisms under a microscope and labelled their parts. We were able to see most things except for the flagellum of protists. The autotrophs had chloroplasts and were usually smaller than their heterotroph counterparts. The heterotroph were usually eukaryotic. The eukaryotes were much bigger than prokaryotes.
