What did you see? So what is it? EUKARYOTIC Nucleus – and maybe other large structures Unicellular – they are next to each other Relatively large for 400X (not tiny) Thinner layer (more flimsy) (cell membrane) So what is it? EUKARYOTIC PROTIST - Paramecium (animal-like)
1000 X
What did you see? So what is it? PROKARYOTIC Relatively small for 1000X (tiny!) Nucleus – can’t see this…. Not obvious single cells in loose chains, not truly multicellular Hard to see cell membrane/wall (tiny!) So what is it? PROKARYOTIC BACTERIAL CELLS - Streptococcus
So, have you learned to classify cells based on their characteristics??
