Examination of a Protozoa
Abstract
[What you will put here: Summarize the whole report in one, concise paragraph of about 100-200 words. You cannot write the abstract until after you've completed the report. Because it assumes that you will speak to your conclusion or what you learned in brief.]
Introduction
[What you will put here: In this introduction, some background is provided for the reader (sources are noted in the reference section at the end of the report).Typically, the introduction states the problem to be solved or the experiment to be performed and explains its purpose and significance. It also provides whatever background theory, previous research, or formulas the reader needs to understand to perform the experiment (or solve the problem).]

I observed the organism at all three magnifications. [include a sketch or photograph of what you saw with the following structures labeled: psuedopod, food vacuole, contracting vacuole, ectoplasm, nucleus, endoplasm (labeled diagrams in the text if you need help)]
PARAMECIUM, Phylum Ciliophora:
I observed the organism at all three magnifications. [include a sketch or photograph of what you saw with the following structures labeled: macronucleus, micronucleus, food vacuole, contractile vacuole, oral groove, gullet, mouth pore, anal pore, cilia (labeled diagrams in the text if you need help)]
EUGLENA, Phylum Mastigophora:
I observed the organism at all three magnifications. [include a sketch or photograph of what you saw with the following structures labeled: eye spot, contractile vacuole, pellicle, chloroplast, flagellum, nucleus (labeled diagrams in the text if you need help)]
