Make-Up Lab/ Animal and Plant Cell Lab

***Because you were not here to do the lab you will use this reference page to answer and to fill out your Make-Up Lab worksheet below.***

PURPOSE: To examine the structures of actual plant and animal cells.

To compare and contrast cell structures seen using the light microscope.

MATERIALS:

microscope

two glass slides

two cover slips

dropper

onion

toothpick

methylene blue stain

Slides made from an ONION:

PLANT CELL 4x PLANT CELL 10x PLANT CELL 40x

Slides made from a CHEEK:

CHEEK CELL 4x CHEEK CELL 10x CHEEK CELL 40x
