I. INTRODUCTION Independent Study Questions 1.) What is the fundamental difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells? Procaryotic cells do not contain a membrane-bound nucleus or any membrane-bound organelles. Eurkaryotic cells contain both a membrane mound nucleus and membrane-bound organelles (making them far more complex). 2.) List and describe the two domains of prokaryotic organisms. a. Bacteria- Most are a specific shape (cylindrical‚ spiral‚ or spherical). Cell

uniform (5) Total INTRODUCTION Bacterial cells are usually colorless because cytoplasm‚ for the most part‚ is transparent. Staining the organisms makes them contrast in color with their surroundings‚ so they are more readily visible. Certain stains can also be used to identify internal structures of the cell‚ which would otherwise be unseen. Further‚ in order to use the oil immersion objective of the microscope and thereby obtain the greatest degree of magnification‚ it is convenient to use

Quantification of Microbes in Milk and Water Naomi Hall 10/20/14 BSC 381L H003 Group: Megan Baker‚ Katie Coe and Meagan Williams Abstract Coliforms are gram negative bacteria commonly found in the intestines of birds and mammals and are the most widely utilized indicators of fecal contamination. The purpose of this experiment was to test various water and milk samples for the presence of coliforms‚ specifically fecal coliforms. It was expected that fecal coliforms would be found in all
