Ali, Neha and Ruma
exteme protozoa and protists, for eg. tetrahymena, paramecium, euglena, vorticella PSEUDO-METAZOANS
Anand, Mugdha, Garima
beasties with multiple endosymbionts, endosymbioonts within endosymbioonts!!
weird reproductive/ life cycle
extremely old cells/ fossils of unicellular organisms
endosymbionts (mitochondria/ chloroplast)
Shriram
diatoms
Utricularia, coelenterates, cells from multicellular organisms with special properties
unique organisms which do not fit into any of the above categories, CAN BE USED FOR POSTERS BEFORE D DAY!
every group needs to present the basic findings as well as an outline of presentation every week. These can be in the form of ppts/mindmaps/presiz, etc. Three groups will present each week.
a member from each group needs to be present at each meeting to present information/ data collected.
individual speakers should submit their final mindmaps to Umesh by 27th of October so that the final Prezi can be finalized.
A guest speaker is to be invited for a colloquim to be held a day or two prior to the sympotein.
