Day : Date :

Activity : 2.3 (The general structure of an onion cell) (textbook page 37)
Aim :
Apparatus and material : light microscope, glass slie, co!er slip, ra"or blae, neele,
ropper, forceps, filter paper, ioine solution, big onion.
Procedure :
#. The inner epiermal layer of an onion scale leaf $as peele off carefully by using
a ra"or blae an a pair of forceps.
2. %t $as place on a glass slie. & rop of ioine solution $as ae to it.
3. & neele $as use to carefully lo$ere the co!er slip onto the inner epiermal
layer of the onion.
'. (ome filter paper $as use to absorb any excess ioine.
). The onion cell $as looke through the microscope.
*. The structure of one onion cell $as ra$n.
7. The follo$ing cell structures $ere ientifie an labelle:
+ell $all, cell membrane, cytoplasm, protoplasm, nucleus an cell !acuoles.
Observation :
Questions : ( ,umber # - ') - textbook page 3.
#. /hat is the shape an colour of onion cell0
Onion cell has a fixed shape and brown/yellow colouring.
2. 1o$ are the cells arrange0
The cells are arranged in the same way as bricks in a brick wall.
3. /hich part of the onion cell is the cell $all0
Outer part.
'. /hich parts of the cell make up the protoplasm0
Cytoplasm and nucleus.
Conclusion :

Day : Date :
Activity : 2.' (The general structure of a human cheek cell) (textbook page 32)
Aim :
Apparatus and material : refer textbook
Procedure :
#. & rop of methylene blue $as put on a glass slie.
2. The insie of cheek $as scrape carefully $ith the blunt en of a toothpick.
3. The scrapings $ere place on the glass slie. & rop of $ater $as ae.
'. The co!er slip $as lo$ere gently onto the glass slie.
). &ny excess methylene blue $as absorbe $ith some filter paper.
*. The structure of a cheek cell that obser!e uner the microscope $as ra$n.
7. The follo$ing cell structures $ere labelle :
+ell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm an protoplasm.
Observation :
Questions : ( ,umber # - 3) textbook page 32
#. /hat is the shape of the cheek cells that you see0 1o$ are they arrange0
Cheek cells do not have regular shapes. They are not uniform in size.
2. %entify the cell membrane0
Cell membrane is thin layer surrounding the cell.
3. +an you see the nucleus0
Yes.
Conclusion :
Animal cell (chee# cell) has ___________, __________________ and _____________.
