Complex Microorganisms

Describes the development of structures for movement in the ciliates and flagellates and the complex organization of the nucleus and cytoplasm showing how these structures may be examined and studied. Describes paramecium, euglena, trypanosomes and opalina using electron microscope photography of their cilia and flagella. Illustrates and discuses similarities in organizational make-up between plant and animal kingdoms. Shows Dr. tracey Sonneborn's Indiana University research laboratory preparing microscopic slide material., Discusses development and structure of ciliates and flagellates. Describes representative organisms of this group, such as paramecium, euglena and oxalina. Illustrates the complex organization of nucleus and cytoplasm in these organisms.NOTE: Two (or more) records have been merged together to create this data.
