Plant and Animal Cell Structures
-You will be working in groups of 2 or 3.
-You will need one computer for your group
-Write the lab report in your lab notebook
Order of the lab:
1.
Background – you can write the background found on the lab.
2.
Purpose – found on the lab. Hint – leucoplasts store starch.
3.
Hypothesis
4.
Materials – see lab
5.
Procedures – see lab
6.
Observations – for each of the drawings you can cut out the circle and
tape it into your lab notebook.
7.
Analysis and Conclusion – write out the question and answer each of
the questions.
**You will not be making slides. You will not be using a microscope. This
powerpoint contains all the images (slides)
Part I – Animal Slides
-Cheek Cell on Low
Power
-Cheek Cell on High
Power
*Use the next slide
to help you draw and
Label the cheek cell*
Part II – Plant Cell (Elodea)
Elodea under Low
Power
Elodea under High
Power
*Use the next slide
to help you draw and
Label the elodea*
Central
Vacuole
There are no nuclei seen on this slide. It does not mean the plant cell does not
have one – you just can’t see it while the chloroplast are in focus
If you use a stronger microscope look at the elodea leaf and the chloroplast
throughout the whole plant cell. Pretty cool, right?
Part II – Potato cell
Potato Cells under
Low Power
Potato Cell under
High Power
Use the next slide to draw the potato cells and the leucoplast. To
make this slide, I put iodine on top of the potato. Remember, Iodine
turns black when there is starch. Leucoplasts are specific organelle in a
potato cell – this is where the starch is store.
Part II – Onion cell
Onion Cell on
Low Power
Onion Cell on
High Power
FOR FUN

Watch the video link before. Draw what
you see under the microscope.
