Question
A group of friends went on a hiking trip to Wadi Shab, and while swimming in the Wadi they were amazed by the variety
of organisms that they saw in the Wadi and the nearby area. Adnan collected a sample of water from the Wadi, soil, and
some colorful rocks because he was interested to see which organisms can be found in each sample.
1. Adnan took the collected samples to a Biology Lab and he passed them to you (since you are studying BIOL2101
course) to help him observe the organisms/microorganisms that might be present in the sample.
a) What would you use in order to investigate and identify the different kinds of organisms that are present in his
samples?
b) What would you try to do in order to "separate" the different kinds of organisms from each other (protists
fungi, bacteria, etc)?
