Eukaryote & Prokaryote Smear

^ Large pink stains are Eukaryote Cells

^ Small dots are the Prokaryote cells

Power: High Power

Scale: 4x zoomed in

Coccus

^Large Formation of Aggregates

The aggregation's morphology form is streptococcus. When observed under

a microscope, small chain-like structures can be seen as the bacterial cells

come together to form aggregates.

Power: High Power

Scale: 8x Zoomed in

Infectious mononucleosis smear

^ Red blood cells

^ Bacterial cell

The morphology of the bacterial cell is Coccus. The bacterial cell is not

forming any sort of aggregate.

Research Questions to follow

Power: Medium power

Scale: 8x Zoomed in

Dipococcus Pneumoniae

^ Bacterial cell

Formation of small aggregates >

The bacterial cell's morphology form is Coccus as it appears in a spherical

shape. They formed some aggregates, and they appear to be in a grape like

cluster, indicating that the aggregations are staphylococcus.

Research questions

Symptoms of mononucleosis: Symptoms of mononucleosis include the following.

• Sore throat
• Fever
• Swollen lymph nodes
• Swelling in the armpits
• Headaches
• Fatigue
• Muscle weakness
• Swollen tonsils
• Night sweats

Modes of transmission for mononucleosis: Mononucleosis can travel VIA spit. If a couple kiss with heavy use of tongue to tongue contact, then the bacteria will spread.

Incubation time before symptomatic: Mononucleosis becomes problematic following

an incubation period of 4 - 7 weeks

Symptoms of Diplococcus Pneumoniae: Symptoms of Diplococcus Pneumoniae may not be visible, and you might just suddenly feel the symptoms including.

• High fevers
• Cough
• Chest Pain
• Shortness of breath
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Tiredness
• Muscle pains
• Headaches

Mode of transmission for Pneumoniae: Pneumoniae can be spread by excessive bodily context with an infected individual. Children often carry the bacteria in their throat without being affected on it, and can even sometime infect adults by the respiratory track.

Incubation time before symptomatic: The incubation period is relatively short. Bacteria becomes problematic or symptomatic following the duration of 1 - 5 days.
