True color and
shape
Organism alive
Advantage (s)
Easy to perform
Difficult to locate and observe fine details
Disadvantage (s)
(organism moving, microbes are
translucent)
Organism more visible, visualization
of differences between organisms
Require more time, reagents,
supplies, and skills
Some useful word roots:
cili- = hair (cilium: a short hair-like cellular appendage)
eu- = true; karyo- = nucleus (eukaryotic cell: a cell that has a true nucleus)
flagell- = whip (flagellum: a long whip-like cellular appendage)
pro- = before (prokaryotic cell: a cell that has no nucleus)
pseudo- = false; -pod = foot (pseudopodium: a cellular extension of amoeboid cells)
