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

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

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

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

Cheek and Onion Cell Experiment The aim of this experiment will be to show that different cells have different structures and textures. Hypothesis I believe that viewing these different cell types under the microscope will show more detail and variations between the cells. Method Apparatus All apparatus was collected and setup as shown in the table below.

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

01) The Cell Structure and function Abstract In this lab the structures of various cells were viewed through a compound microscope. The bacteria in yogurt was viewed a long with a slice of potato‚ and a thin skin of red onion. The potato was dyed with iodine while the red onion was dyed with methane blue. The students had to assemble the first three slides. Two more slides were provided these are the yeast and protozoa cells. Those two are also viewed

this principle‚ a purple onion cell is going to be bathed in different concentrations of salt (NaCl) water. Problem: How do solutions of various salt concentrations influence osmosis in relation to an onion cell? Hypothesis What will happen to the onion cell if it is placed in salt water? What will happen to the onion cell if it is placed in distilled water? If ..the onion cell is placed in salt water then... the cell will shrivel up

the size of cheek cell and onion cell DCP: Introduction: In this experiment‚ Onion cells (Allium cepa) Cheek cells (Homo sapiens) were measured and compared. The aim of this experiment is to find out how both cells differ by comparing their size. Onion cells (Allium cepa) is plant cell and Cheek cells (Homo sapiens) is an animal cell. Hypothesis: The size of an animal cell (Homo sapiens) should be smaller than a plant cell (Allium cepa). Because a plant cell has cell wall which is to maintain
