Part A.) List the THREE domains of life. For each domain, include the following: 3 characteristics of the domain and 3 examples of organisms belonging to each domain. The three domains of life are classified as: Eukarya 1) Organisms with eukaryotic cells that include protists, kingdom Plantae, kingdom Fungi, and kingdom Animalia. 2) Protists are mostly single-celled organisms. 3) Kingdom Plantae is represented by plants, which are able to produce their own food. Example: an avocado tree. Kingdom Fungi, is represented by organisms that absorb water and nutrients by decomposing the remains of dead organisms and organic wastes. Example: mushrooms. Kingdom Animalia is represented by animals, which get their food by eating other animals. …show more content…
The image is composed of light and dark areas, however, the image can be colorized to emphasize features. It requires that the column must be a vacuum, and that the specimen must be cut very thin. For these reasons, it is not used study living organism. As a disadvantage, some structures called artifact, can be seen but they are not present in natural specimens. 3. Scanning Electron Microscope-(SEM) it is a type of electron microscope that also uses a magnetic fields within a vacuum tube to manipulate a beam of electrons. The surface of the specimen need to be coated with a metal such as platinum or gold. It is used to observe the surface details of microbes and cellular structures, and this can be a disadvantage since it does not magnify the internal structures of the specimen. It can magnify up to 10,000x with a resolution about 20nm. The resulting image is in 3D and can be enhance with color. 4. Gram staining-it is a technique used to differentiate between Gram-positive cells, which stain purple, and Gram-negative cells, which stain pink. The physical and chemical structures of these cells are different, allowing them to be identified by the used of different dyes. The first step is to color all the cells of the smear by using the basic dye crystal violet for 1 minute. Then iodine is used to bind the dye and make it less soluble, after it is rinse all cell remain
4. Modern taxonomists (scientists who classify organisms) no longer use the classification of the kingdom of Protists. List the three other kingdoms of Eukarya.
2) Electron Microscope (EM) uses a beam of electrons to resolve electrons, better resolving powers than light microscope M:100,000x RP 0,2 nanometer
Classify plants and animals according to the physical characteristics that they share. Identify the structures in plants (leaves, roots, flowers, stem, bark, wood) that are responsible for food production, support, water transport, reproduction, growth, and protection.
The next step of the project included preparing a Gram stain to discover the cell shape, arrangement, and if the bacteria is gram positive or
Fungi are multi-celled organisms that form a third Kingdom of life, along with the plant kingdom and the animal kingdom.
2) Record the shape of the bacteria, the arrangement of the bacteria, and the gram staining characteristics.
The illuminating parts of a microscope enable us to see the detail of the subject placed under the microscope. The three main parts that enable us to do this are: the condenser which illuminates the object that is placed under the microscope, the objectives which forms the magnified image, and the eyepiece which enables us to see the magnified
Kingdom: Animalia, it's an organism who is multicellular meaning eukaryotic and can move anywhere by itself though its lifespan.
Since they do not contain a nucleus they would be in the prokaryotic domain. They would need to be from the kingdoms Bacteria Specifically Eubacteria. They use photosynthesis to produce their own food. This animal is most likely Prochlorococcus. This is the most abundant photosynthetic cell in the ocean. Another one is cyanobacteria or blue green algae, but they are prokaryotic unlike algae. They could be grouped by their shapes like cyanobacteria are spherical, rod, and spiral. They can also be grouped as photosynthetic since they have
Name and describe the roles of the three main trophic categories that make up the biotic structure of every ecosystem. Give examples of organisms from each category.
#1. The dirt considered living because it has all the kingdoms of life in it.
The purpose of this study is to identify four unknown organisms. The unknown organisms have been assigned randomly to six-research groups by Professor Hoffman. Each research group was provided two eukaryotes and two prokaryotes. The unknown organisms will fall into the following classifications: bacteria, algae, fungi, or protozoans. All living organisms are organized into one of three domains of life, Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.
Prokaryotic Cells All living things are made of cells, and cells are the smallest units that can be alive. Life on Earth is classified into five kingdoms, and they each have their own characteristic kind of cell. However the biggest division is between the cells of the prokaryote kingdom (monera, the bacteria) and those of the other four kingdoms (animals, plants, fungi and protoctista), which are all eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells, and do not have a nucleus. Prokaryotic means 'pre-nucleus' and eukaryotic means 'true nucleus'.
A single-celled eukaryote or protist can carry chlorophyll (it can be an autotrophic, photosynthetic, "alga"), it can eat other organisms (it can be an organotrophic, "protozoan" "animal"), or it may do both.
In 1970, another electron microscope called the scanning electron microscope (SEM) was developed. The scanning electron microscope is used to study the smallest
