Summary Introduction
To review:
The experiment that will test whether the coating of extracellular slime will change the speed of the organism across the substrate or not.
Introduction:
To test the change in speed of slime mold across the substrate can be detected by using different substrates. The growth substrate that can be used is plain agar and the precoated agar with the extracellular matrix.

A contractile vacuole is an organelle that pumps excess water out of many freshwater protozoan cells. A freshwater protozoan was placed in solution A and observed to form contractile vacuoles at a rate of 11 per minute. The same protozoan was then placed in solution B and observed to form contractile vacuoles at a rate of 4 per minute. Based on this information, which of the following statements is correct? a. Solution A is hypertonic to solution B. b. Solutions A and B are isotonic. c. Solution B is hypertonic to solution A. d. Solutions A and B are isotonic to the protozoan cell. e. Both a and b.
You are studying amoebas and paramecia, two different single-celled protozoans. You have at your disposal a standard white light
(known as "bright-field") microscope, a fluorescence microscope, a scanning electron microscope, and a transmission electron
microscope. For each of the following studies, indicate which type of microscope would be most useful.
