Lab 17 Goals and Objectives:

Exercise 6: Protozoans, Algae, and CyanobacteriaObserve representative members of various phyla on wet mount and

prepared slides, know by name not phylum:Amoeba (pseudopods for motility) Fig 6.1#6Paramecium (cilia for motility) Fig 6.1#9Trypanosoma (flagella for motility) not in bookTrichomonas (flagella for motility) not in bookPlasmodium (non motile intracellular pathogen) not in bookEuglena (flagella for motility) Fig 6.2#1&2Spirogyra (filamentous green algae) Fig 6.4#14Diatoms Fig 6.6Dinoflagellate (flagellated algae) Fig 6.3#11Anabaena (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!

Protozoa Algae

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)
