Field of View

The circle of light that you see when you look through the ocular lenses of the microscope

Coarse Adjustment Knob

To bring the object into focus

Rotate the microscope stage upward (turn the knob away from you) until it stops, then slowly turn it towards you until the object is in focus.

How do you use the coarse adjustment knob?

Fine adjustment focus

Bring the objects into sharp focus using this

Diopter-Adjustment Ring

To compensate for differences in visual strength of your eyes make adjustments using this

Condenser

Where light is transmitted through

Iris Diaphragm of the Condenser

To alter the brightness of light transmitted

Parfocal

The image will remain nearly in focus when you switch from one power to another

Parcentered

The image will remain nearly centered in the field of view when you switch from one power to another.

Center of Focus

Region in which objects are in sharp focus

Depth of Field

The vertical zone where an object is perhaps not in sharp focus but is still visible

Cytoplasmic Streaming

The circular movement of the cytoplasm within the cell

45, 18, 5

How many divisions per field does a 4x , 10x and 40x have?

Autotrophs

Obtain their carbon from CO2

Heterotrophs

Obtain performed organic carbon-containing molecules from other organisms

Phototrophs

Obtain their energy from light

Chemotrophs

Obtain their energy from the oxidation of organic and inorganic compounds

Mixotrophs

Obtain energy from inorganic sources and carbon from organic sources

Taxa

Classification group name

Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, class, order, family, genus, species

8 different taxonomic groups

Supergroup

A taxonomic group that further distinguishes eukaryotic organisms

eukarya, bacteria, and archaea

The three domains

Shared derived character

All organisms within a clade share this

Clades

Groups delineated by the two branches and their common ancestor

Taxonomy

The science of finding, describing, and naming organisms

Phylogenetic tree

Created using information from the fossil record, comparative anatomy, physiology and morphology using DNA sequences.

Cladograms

Are phylogenetic trees made up of a series of two way branching points

Amoeba

Domain: Eukaryotes Kingdom-Amoeboza, Phylum: Tubulinea

Amoeba

Appear to be amorphous blob, moves using pseudopodia, similar to human white blood cells in terms of appearance, locomotion, and feeding habits. They contain a nucleus, contractile vacuole, and a food vacuole

Euglena

Domain-Eukaryote, Kingdom-Euglenozoa, Phylum-Euglenida

Euglena

Have chloroplast like plants and are able to move/ absorb nutrients from the environment like animals.Have a red eyespot and two flagella to move along. Can bend their body to squeeze through small spaces.

Euplotes

Domain-Eukarya, Kingdom-Alveolata, Phylum-Ciliophora

Euplotes

Oval shaped transparent body surrounded by a rigid pellicle. Uses cilia to guide food particles into its oral groove. It's large macronucleus looks like a backwards letter C.

Paramecium

Domain-Eukarya, Kingdom-Alveolata, Phylum-Ciliophora

Paramecium

One celled organism which has almost twice as many genes as humans do. Covered with cilia which allow it to swim ten times its body length in one second.

Blepharisma

Domain: Eukarya, Kingdom: Alveolata,Phylum: Ciliophora

Blepharisma

Have small memebrane-bound cavities just under their cell surface. Function is unknown. Feeds on small protists and bacteria and will often appear to be pink or red due to pink pigment held in vesicles.

Stentor

Domain-Eukarya, Kingdom-Alveolata, Phylum-Ciliophora

Stentor

Filter feeding, heterotrophic ciliate protists. Either Trumpet or bowling pin shaped. Among the largest unicellular organisms, and contains a contractile vacuole to combat osmosis. Have amazing regenerative process. Often clear but can exist in several colors.
