Add a cover slip and place on your microscope. Examine using the 4x, 10x, then 40 x objectives. Notice the blue ovoid cells, which often occur in clumps. Make a diagram, again being sure to provide a title, caption, labeling, scaling and discussion. In your discussion, comment on the shape and size of the cells, especially in comparison with the plant cells.
Prokaryotic cells are structurally much simpler than eukaryotic cells.
They completely lack subcellular compartmentalization, although some may show invagination of the plasma membrane. You will note their size and shape. Examination of their internal contents will be exceedingly difficult, due to the small size of the cells. A container of yogurt containing an active bacterial culture is available on the side table. Examine under your microscope using 4x, 10x then 40x power.
