Lab 3: Intro to Microbial Eukaryotes

• Amoeboid

flagellate

ciliate

• Phase contrast

• Primary endosymbiosis

Secondary Endosymbiosis

Tertiary Endosymbiosis

• Plasmodial vs cellular slime mold

• Distance matrix

• Nucleus

mitochondria

chloroplast

• Know the basics of compound microscopy; microscope anatomy, function, slide preparation, and size estimation.

• Be able to explain the endosymbiotic theory

evaluate levels of symbiosis (primary, secondary, etc.)

• Be able to recognize the types of movement of microbial eukaryotes from lab

• Be able to use phylogenies to identify the likely source of diseases.

Be able to explain how phylogenies support different hypotheses for origins of specific pathogens.

• Be able to use a distance matrix to determine the distance between two taxa
