Discussion Questions:
1. How extensive was the growth of the “control” section of your petri dishes? Did this surprise you? Explain.

2. What area has the most and least bacteria based on the data? Explain why youthink this might be.

3. Was their bacteria growth in the “control” section of your petri dish?

4. What you you believe the ideal “microbiome” is?

5. Does all the bacteria look the same? Did the bacteria all grow in a certian pattern? If yes whatare the main
characteristics of it? If no what are some of the differing characteristics of it?

6. Do you believe that you have grown different varieties or species of bacteria?

7. What do you believe the purpose of antibacterial soap and hand sanitizers are? Do you thinkthey are
important? Explain why.

8. What are some components that must be present in order for bacteria to grow?

9. What are some potential areas of error in this lab experiment?

10. If you were to do this lab over again what would you do differently?

Introduction to Protists- Activity 2

True or False
Write true if the statement is true or false if the statement is false.
1. Protists are prokaryotes.
2. There is currently no scientific evidence supporting the endosymbiotic theory.
3. According to the endosymbiotic theory, eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotic cells.
4. According to the endosymbiotic theory, mitochondria evolved from small aerobic bacteria that
were engulfed by a larger prokaryotic cell.
5. According to the endosymbiotic theory, chloroplasts evolved from small protists.
6. Chloroplasts, but not mitochondria, have DNA.
7. Chloroplasts and mitochondria are surrounded by membranes.
8. Protists contain organelles.
9. All protists are multicellular.
10. Most protists require a watery environment in which to live.
11. Protists have no way of moving on their own; they must hitch a ride with a motile organism.
12. Algae are protists.
13. Spores can be produced by some protists as a response to harsh conditions in their environment.
14. Some protists can carry out photosynthesis.
15. Protists cannot reproduce sexually.

Ecology of Fungi Activity 5

Write true if the statement is true or false if the statement is false.

1. Fungi make chlorophyll.

2. Fungi carry out photosynthesis.

3. Fungi are heterotrophs.

4. Most fungi use dead organisms as their food.

5. When fungi break down dead organic matter, nutrients are also released, and these nutrients can be used by other living
organisms.

6. In all parasitic relationships involving fungi, the fungi are attacked by an animal parasite.

7. Fungi make enzymes that help break down organic compounds.

8. Bacteria, but not fungi, can break down the cellulose in plant cell walls.

9. Fungi use their hyphae to access organic matter not reachable to other organisms.

10. Fungi are the primary producers of carbon-containing compounds in forests.

11. A mycorrhiza is a parasitic relationship between a plant and a fungus.

12. A lichen is a mutualistic relationship between a photosynthetic organism (such as a cyanobac- terium) and a fungus.

13. Lichens are often found on rocks.
