| These pictures show microscopic views of
organisms that the students have been able to see with the microscopes
in our classroom. As we study the composition of cells we focus on
the diversity of life illustrated at this most basic of
biological levels.
All the cells we have looked at are characterized as eukaryotic, because they each have a nucleus. Only bacteria have no nucleus and are classified as prokaryotic. |
|
Elodea

Human cheeks cells (visible nuclei). |
Euglena are protists that combine features of plants and animals in one cell.

pseudopods. |

organisms.
