1: fundamentals of science. Title An investigation of an onion cell using a light microscope. Aim: The aim of this investigation is to identify the cells within an onion skin using a light microscope. An onion cell is a plant cell which through the light microscope‚ it should outline the cell wall‚ cell membrane and the nucleus. Introduction: Plant cells have a cell wall and cell membrane which animal cells do not have. The cell wall provides support and is relatively rigid‚ which consists

USE OF ONION ROOT TIPS FOR MITOTIC DIVISION OBSERVATIONS Introduction The zone of cell division on the onion root tip is a great place to observe mitotic cell divisions. Through the observation and comparison of different regions of the root tip‚ the duration of mitotic stages and mitotic indexes are determined for the various divisions of the root tip. Methods Each group used a compound microscope to analyze the different sections of the onion root tip. The root tip was visually

Planning Exercise Aim To investigate the effect of phosphate on cell division in root tips. Background knowledge Phosphate ions (macronutrients) are needed large amounts by plants. They are required for root growth. For the root tips cells to divide‚ mitosis has to occur. Phosphate is needed for production of ATP which provides energy for mitosis to occur. DNA replication occurs during interphase of the cell cycle. DNA is made up of nitrogen containing base‚ pentose sugar and phosphate group

in relation to three onion cells and the impact on the cells structure. A small square of a red onion skin (membrane) was observed under a microscope at high power (X40) magnification. The observation showed a large number of onion cells. The structure of one onion cell had a general rectangular shape with a developed cell wall‚ which gives the rectangular shape to the cell and a cell membrane just beneath it. The observation under the microscope of a cell of an onion skin soaked for 15 minutes

Inheritance – Mitotic Squash of Garlic Root Tip Mitosis is the process of cell division; it is the process by which a eukaryotic cell separates the chromosomes in its cell nucleus into two identical sets in two nuclei. It is generally followed immediately by cytokinesis‚ which divides the nuclei‚ cytoplasm‚ organelles and cell membrane into two cells containing roughly equal shares of these cellular components. Mitosis and cytokinesis together define the mitotic phase of the cell cycle—the division

The Onion Cell Lab Background: Onion tissue provides excellent cells to study under the microscope. The main cell structures are easy to see when viewed with the microscope at medium power. For example‚ you will observe a large circular nucleus in each cell‚ which contains the genetic material for the cell. In each nucleus‚ are round bodies called nucleoli. The nucleolus is an organelle‚ which synthesizes small bodies called ribosomes. Ribosomes are so small you cannot see them with the light microscope

Plant and Animal Cells OBJECTIVES Observe and identify cells undergoing the process of mitosis. Compare the stages of mitosis in plant cells with these stages in animal cells. MATERIALS • compound light microscope • prepared slides (longitudinal sections of onion or garlic root tips) • prepared slides (whitefish blastula or other animal tissue) Procedure PART 1: MITOSIS IN PLANT CELLS 1. Observe a prepared slide of a longitudinal section of onion or garlic root tips. Use low power to

EFFECT OF SODIUM CHLORIDE ON ONION EPIDERMAL CELLS INRODUCTION A living plant cell will shrinks or swells depending on the solute concentration of the cell in relation to the solute concentration of the fluid surrounding the cell (1). It follows that water will move from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration therefore‚ if a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution water will move from the cell into the solution until the cell shrinks(1). Further water loss

Osmosis in Red Onion Cells By: Youssef Gharib Brief Description of Osmosis in Red Onion cells: Osmosis is the diffusion of water from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration across a semi-permeable membrane. The purpose of this lab is to compare the three different types of solutions affect on the relative size of the vacuole to the cell‚ the outer membrane of onion red cells (tunics) are used to figure out the different types. In the red onion you can see effects promptly
