Cheek Cell Practical
Cheek cell practical
Task 2
Risk assessment HAZARD RISK MITIGATION
Methylene blue stains wear apron/gloves
Swab stick spreading bacteria dispose correctly
Microscope slide break/cut skin handle with care
Cover slide break/cut skin handle with care
Microscope drop/fall on foot position carefully
Method
1- Collect all equipment carefully and prepare for experiment
2- Using a swab stick gently rub the inside of the cheek
3- Smear the swab taken onto a microscope slide and dispose of swab stick properly
4- Put methylene blue on the microscope slide
5- Cover with microscope slip and wipe away any methylene blue from around the slide
6- Put microscope slip under microscope and set the focus
RESULT OF CHEEK CELL EXPERIMENT Cell membrane- controls
Nucleolus- to assemble ribosomes what goes in and out of the cell
Nucleus – contains most of the cells Genetic material

“Cells are the basic building blocks of all liking things. The human body is composed of trillions of cells. They provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into energy and carry out specialized functions.
Cells also contain the body’s hereditary material and can copy themselves. Cells have many parts each with a different function. Some of these parts are called organelles. These are specialized structures that perform certain task within the cell”

The aim of the experiment was to see a cell. In this experiment we managed to see a cell. The microscope used in the lab was not powerful to view other organelles.
