Question

unsorted
prokaryote
eukaryote

Explanation:

Identify the organisms in the unsorted images

1. Top-left: Sporangia of a multicellular fungus (mold, e.g., Rhizopus), which is a eukaryote.
2. Top-right: Green algae cells (e.g., Chlamydomonas or Volvox), which are eukaryotes.
3. Middle-left: A single large ciliated or flagellated protozoan/bacterium, but looking closely at the scale and structure, it represents a bacterium with fimbriae/pili (prokaryote).
4. Middle-right: Chain of purple cocci (Gram-positive streptococci), which are prokaryotes.
5. Bottom-left: Gram-negative bacilli (pink rods) and Gram-positive cocci (purple), which are prokaryotes.

Classify each image into Prokaryote or Eukaryote

• Prokaryote:
• The bacterium with fimbriae/pili (middle-left)
• The chain of Gram-positive streptococci (middle-right)
• The Gram-stained bacterial mixture (bottom-left)
• Eukaryote:
• The fungal sporangia/mold (top-left)
• The green algae (top-right)

Answer:

The unsorted microscopic images should be classified into the following categories:

• Prokaryote:
• Bacterium with pili/fimbriae (middle-left image)
• Gram-positive streptococci chain (middle-right image)
• Gram-stained bacterial mixture (bottom-left image)

• Eukaryote:
• Fungal sporangia/mold (top-left image)
• Green algae (top-right image)
