    This casework involves researching and presenting on the topic of eukaryotes. Students will be assigned a set of questions to research and present on for 30 minutes, covering topics such as the characteristics of eukaryotic cells, hypotheses on the origin of eukaryotes, descriptions of protist kingdoms and their phylogeny. Presentations will be evaluated based on aesthetics, content, and audience feedback, and students must submit written reports and materials used in their presentation.

    Casework 2

    The Eukaryotes

    Overview
    The evolution of the first eukaryotes mark the thin line between being “simple” and being
    “complex,” as they have introduced into our world the concept of a “membrane-bound nucleus.”
    This innovation has sparked up life and its diversity: it gave way to genetic recombination,
    differentiation of acquired traits, diversification, and the evolution of species. In this casework,
    be intrigued and mesmerized as you sift thru the world of the eukaryotes.

    Description
    This casework is designed to test your researching, reasoning, and presentation skills.
    You are given a set of questions to research on and answer. Your task is to give a 30-minute
    presentation in front of the class.

    Scope and Limitations


    1. You have a time limit of strictly 30 minutes to present your work. Presenting your
    work in less than 30 minutes is okay, as long as you cover all the things that are
    assigned to you. However, exceeding the time limit is not acceptable.
    2. You will be graded based on the following criteria: aesthetics (25%), content (50%),
    and audience evaluation (25%). Aesthetics include the manner of presentation, the
    visual aids used, and all things that pertain to how you presented your work. Content
    pertains to how sufficiently and convincingly you answered the assigned set of
    questions. Finally, the audience evaluation criterion will come basically from your
    classmates (whether they understood your report or not). Tentatively, there will be
    also a guest audience who will evaluate your reporting.
    3. Your presentation maybe in the conventional style (manila paper, then discuss-
    discuss), technological style (films and powerpoints), or the kakaiba style (games,
    skits, drama, etc). Be creative! (and just remember not to exceed your time limit.)
    4. No OHP presentations please… (as in acetate then project sa OHP)
    5. You are to submit a detailed task distribution report. Failure to submit such will mean
    a demerit of 20% for your CW2 grade.
    6. You are also to submit a written summary report for your presentation. This will
    include your written answers to the set of questions assigned to you, the agenda for
    your presentation, and citation of references used. Minimize the use of internet
    sources. Failure to submit such will mean a demerit of 20% for your CW2 grade.
    7. Submit the two reports (as described in items 5 and 6) before you present. They
    must be typewritten (Arial 11, single-spaced, justified, 1-inch margin on all sides) on
    short bond paper. Include the names of all the members of your group.
    8. Materials you used for your actual presentation will also be collected.
    9. Presentations will be on May 17, 2007, starting at 9:30am. Use the 9:00am-9:30am
    slot to make final preparations for your presentation. You may use the computer
    during this time slot if you need to. The sequence of presentations will be determined
    randomly.
    10. For any questions, feel free to contact me at 0906-5758624 or 0915-4090820.
    Please, just introduce yourself cordially when you contact me. Do not expect me to
    reply immediately (I don’t check my phone every second, dude). At the most, I will
    reply to you after 12 hours.
    11. Enjoy this casework! (and remember, this makes up 25% of your final grade!)
    Question Set
    1. What does being a “eukaryote” mean? What are the characteristics unique to
    eukaryotes? (1pt)
    2. Differentiate the prokaryotic cell from the eukaryotic cell? What are the advantages
    and disadvantages of being prokaryotic/eukaryotic? Justify. (2pts)
    3. How did eukaryotic cells evolve from prokaryotic ones? Explain, compare, and
    contrast the two major hypotheses (autogenous hypothesis and endosymbiotic
    hypothesis) explaining the origin of eukaryotic cells. (3pts)
    4. Describe the basic characteristics and general morphology/physiology of species
    under the Kingdom Protista. (1pt)
    5. Describe, compare, and contrast the following divisions/phyla of protists (3pts):
    a. Euglenophyta
    b. Pyrrophyta
    c. Chrysophyta
    d. Bacillariophyta
    e. Acrasiomycota
    f. Myxomycota
    g. Ciliophora
    h. Zoomastigina
    i. Sporozoa
    j. Sarcodina
    6. How do protists reproduce? What are the different ways thru which they produce
    offspring? (1pt)
    7. Show the phylogenetic linkages of the above protistan divisions/phyla with modern
    eukaryotes (animals, plants, fungi). Trace the evolutionary pathway leading from
    these protists to the more advanced eukaryotes. Explain, discuss, and defend. (5pts)
    8. What is the choanoflagellate? How is it significant in the family tree of the
    eukaryotes? Justify your answer. (2pts)
