1. Use the World Wide Web to explore these topics:
a. The endosymbiotic theory of eucaryotic cell evolution. List data from studies that support this idea.
b. The medical problems caused by mycotoxins and “sick building” syndrome.
2. Several excellent websites provide information and animations on eucaryotic cells and protists. They include:
http://www.ebiomedia.com/gall/ciliates/index.html http://www.cellsalive.com/ http://protist.i.hosei.ac.jp/Protist_menuE.html
Survey these sources to observe the varied styles of feeding, reproduction, and locomotion seen among these microbes.
