Tetrahymena is a ______ cell, meaning it has a membrane-bound nucleus and organelles.
This is the term used to describe something that DOES NOT cause disease. It is also one of the reasons Tetrahymena is a safe organism to use in classrooms.
Like other living things, Tetrahymena perform these three basic functions…
In 2009, this award was given to scientists doing research on telomeres using Tetrahymena.
This is Tetrahymena’s food of choice, another reason why they are an excellent classroom organisms for non-sterile environments.
Like all organisms, Tetrahymena ___________, for limited resources in their environment. (Charles Darwin identified this as a basic biological concept)
Depending on environmental conditions, certain strains of Tetrahymena can go _______, meaning they eat their own species.
When Tetrahymena go cannibalistic, the cannibals form one of these, which means, “Big Mouth”.
Tetrahymena belong to this group of Protozoans, meaning they have cilia.
This is the term used to describe how Tetrahymena eat. It means “to devour” a particle when feeding.
“Fat”, “Balloon” and “Mouthless” are three different ______________ that are expressed when Tetrahymena are exposed to increased temperature. (37 degrees C)
One of the ASSET Modules allows student to create microcosms where they mix one of Tetrahymena’s favorite bacteria with the Tetrahymena. Bacteria that are able to survive by filling different niches produce visibly different colonies. The selection pressure causing this is?
These are structures found on the outside of Tetrahymena used for both movement and feeding.
This is the shape that Tetrahymena form when they are sexually reproducing. Also, a common term for a throwing device traditionally use by Australia’s Aboriginal people who use them for hunting.
These organelles can be seen clearly under a microscope during the Phagocytosis and Osmosis Labs. Their role is to fill-up with extra water and pump it out of the cell to maintain homeostasis.
In the Field Research and Bioinformatics Lab, your students can extract Tetrahymena’s ________ and compare it to others to identify whether it is from a currently known species of Tetrahymena or a new species.
This refers to an organism’s ability to change directions in response to chemicals in its environment. Also, the name of one of the ASSET Labs.
These devices ship with many of the ASSET Lab Modules, they are designed to precisely measure, in microliters, the volume of a substance.
These are the types of microscopes, with two lenses, you will need to use when observing Tetrahymena in your classroom.
When culturing Tetrahymena in your classroom, it is important to use ________ technique, which is why we provide you with pipettes that are individual wrapped.
We lend these devices (standard and mini sizes), which allow you to spin down cells using centripetal acceleration.
