LABORATORY ACTIVITY 3.1THE STRUCTURE OF THE CELL
A POST LABORATORY DISCUSSION
OBJECTIVES OF THE LAB. ACT.At the end of the laboratory period, you
should be able to:Locate the parts of the plant cell.Identify the parts of the cell.Describe the parts of the plant cell.
RESULTSCellular organelles seen in Fanwort Leaf
(Cabomba caroliniana)1. Cell wall - it is the outer most layer of the
cell.2. Chloroplastids or chloroplasts – it was
observed as a spherical or globular green structures inside the cell.
Cellular Organelles seen in Onion Leaf (Allium cepa)
1. Cell wall – it is the outermost layer of the cell.
2. Nucleus – a dark small spherical staining body
inside the cell.
DISCUSSION1. Review: Give two differences/distinctions
between a plant and an animal cell? (2 points)Possible answers could be the presence of
cell wall in plants but absence in animals, the presence of chloroplastids in plants but
absence in animals.
DISCUSSION2. What are the specimens used in this experiment?Give the scientific name and common name of each.Cabomba caroliniana – FanwortKingdom: PlantaeSubkingdom: TracheophytaDivision: MagnoliophytaSubclass: MagnoliidaeOrder: NymphaealesFamily: Cabombaceae Genus: CabombaSpecies: Cabomba caroliniana GrayCommon Name: Carolina fanwort, fanwort
DISCUSSIONAllium cepa L. – Garden onionKingdom: PlantaeSubkingdom: TracheobiontaDivision: MagnoliophytaClass: Liliopsida Subclass: LilidaeFamily: AmaryllidaceaeGenus: Allium L.Species: Allium cepa L. Common name: Garden onion
DISCUSSION3. What is the purpose of the crystal violet
dye? Explain.The crystal violet dye is used to enhance the
contrast in the microscopic image seen. It was used to highlight the biological structures (organelles) in the specimens.
The dye reacts with certain organelles only.
DISCUSSION4. Why do you need very thin sections of the
specimens to be observed in each specimen?We need to make the specimens thin enough
to allow light to pass through. If the specimen is thick, not enough light will be able to pass through resulting to a blurry image.
DISCUSSION5. What cell parts have you observed in the
specimen?Fanwort – Cell wall, cell membrane and
Chloroplastid.Garden onion – Cell wall, cell membrane and
Nucleus.
