Most often, eukaryotes call to mind large and conspicuous animals and plants, but there are many eukaryotes that are not visible to the naked eye. Recall from lab 2 that the word ‘microbe’ is used to refer to microscopic organisms in any of the domains and viruses. In lab 3, you will be introduced to microbial eukaryotes, a group that includes several disparate lineages with diverse ecology and life history. The occur in most habitats worldwide, are key players in symbiotic interactions,...

Bacteria and Archaea are often collectively referred to as prokaryotes because they lack a nucleus (pro=before, karyon=nucleus). But, as you can see from figure 2.1, they are not each other’s closest relatives. Because bacteria and archaea are so diverse, they can be difficult to characterize. However, when compared to eukaryotes, they have significant differences in their general biology including, reproduction, organization of genetic material, and a lack of membrane-bound organelles. I...

Pre-lab 6: Botanical Conservatory and Fungal Diversity (Score: 4.75/5) Question 1. Identify two reasons why maintaining a large, living plant collection is an important public and scientific resource. It lets us study different types of plants without having to travel all over the world and it teaches us better methods of conservation. Question 2. In figure 6.2 above, which season (X or Y) would correspond to winter at point A? Season X Question 3. On which side (left or right) of figure...
