Bio104 Laboratory ? Student?s Guide John Jay College, C.U.N.Y Lab #4 ? Page 1 Lab #4: Use of the Microscope; Bacteria and Protists I. The Domains of Life A. There are three major branches, or Domains, on the tree of life: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. B. It turns out that most of the living things on earth, comprising most of the biomass, are microscopic single-celled species! Today we will look at unicellular examples of two different domains: Bacteria and Eukarya. C. Protists are eukaryotes and most (but not all) are single-celled. However, some of the single-celled protest species can exist in colonies that resemble a multicellular organism, but this is not true

Excretory System Read Kraus pages 248 to 250. List the many different?functions of the skin: There are four different functions for the skin. The skin acts as a protective organ, meaning that the skin provides defense from mechanical injury and bacterial infections. How does the liver assist with excretion of nitrogenous?waste? The liver assists with the excretion of nitrogen waste. When humans eat food containing a surplus in protein, an excess of amino acid forms. Amino acid contains nitrogen. If the protein is not used to repair the body or help it grow, it is changed in the liver into nitrogenous waste and is secreted. This is why doctors warn about the excess consumption of foods like meat, fish, and eggs.

18.1: Viruses and Bacteria Viruses What is a Virus? Virus: composed of nucleic acids enclosed in a protein coat and are smaller than the smallest bacterium Biologists consider viruses to be nonliving because viruses are not cells. Viruses do not carry out respiration, grow or develop. Viruses can only multiply when they are inside a living cell. Host cell: cell in which a virus replicates Almost all viruses are parasites because they destroy the cells in which they multiply. Viruses can infect the organisms of all six kingdoms. Because viruses are not alive, scientists do not use binomial nomenclature to name them.
