You may use any size of bond paper. Recycled bond papers will do. Use additional sheets of paper, if necessary. Write on one side of the paper. Please write legibly using a black permanent pen. Pencils are not allowed.
Please refer to Activity Guidelines (see separate document) for the filename and submission guidelines.
In this activity, you will be graded based on your ability to analyze and evaluate connections to Lesson 2 concepts.
1. Compare and contrast the 10 types of microscopes discussed (from bright-field to stereo microscope) in terms of the following parameters:
· source of illumination
· quality of images produced
· applications in the field of Microbiology (provide only 1 specific example)
Create a table. Limit your answers to 1-2 sentences only. You may present your answers in bulleted style. This is equivalent to 30 points.
2. Evaluate the statement: "Members of the domain Archaea are more like Eukaryotes."
In 10 sentences, come up with an evaluation essay by analyzing thoroughly the statement presented. What features make them more like Eukaryotes? How about characteristics that make members of Archaea more like bacteria?
Take note that you are asked to create an evaluation essay and not a review. A review is based entirely on your own opinion. Ensure that all your claims should remain unbiased by supporting evidence. Use a defined set of criteria or parameters to judge the statement. It may be necessary to cite references. Avoid plagiarism or copy-pasting of work. This is equivalent to 30 points.
