"1/31/14 - Lab 1: Biological Life at AU

The objective of Lab 1 Proceedure 1 is to understand Natural Selection. To get an understanding of natural selection 3 members of the volvacine line were observed under the microscope. They included Chlamydomonas, gonium, and volvox.

Chlamydomonas Number of cells: 1 Colony Size: 23 Functional specialization Cells: Flagellum for movement and chloroplast

Gonium Number of cells: 75-100 Colony Size: 3 Functional specialization Cells: Flagellum

Vovox Number of cells: about 500 Colony Size: 1

Picture to be added here.

The objective of part 2 is to understand the biotic and abiotic aspects of a niche at American University outside the Katzen Arts Center.

Abiotic Factors Pebbles, large rocks, little rocks dead leaves wood chips bricks soil

Biotic Factors Cotton Tails Red Bushs Grass Weeds

In the future I will be going back to the niche to observe any changes that may have occured to the factors, individually and how they interact together. LL.
