***Because you were not here to do the lab you will use this reference page to answer and to fill out your Make-Up Lab worksheet below.***

PURPOSE: To examine the structures of actual plant and animal cells.To compare and contrast cell structures seen using the light microscope.

MAKE-UP-Animal and Plant Cell LabPRELAB:

How to interpret drawings Review differences between a animal and a plant cell. Review the characteristics that make up a cell.

Purpose:_____________________________________________________________________

Materials:____________________________________________________________________

Procedure: Look at the pictures and draw what you see. Label once you had made your drawings. Answers the questions after you draw the onion and cheek cell.

Observations: Onion Cell (Label- cell wall, cytoplasm, nucleus)

4x 10x 40x

Cheek Cell (Label-cell membrane, cytoplasm,nucleus)

4x 10x 40x

Conclusion

Questions:

1. Which one is the animal cell? Which one is the plant cell? ________________________________________________________________________

2. What is the difference between the animal cell and the plant cell that you observed in the pictures? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3. Why is it harder to see the outside structure of the cheek cell verses the onion cell? ________________________________________________________________________

4. Were the cells you observed today prokaryotic or eukaryotic?________________________________________________________________________

5. Where could you find animal cells other than the ones that are in the pictures? ________________________________________________________________________

6. Where could you find plant cells other than the ones that are in the pictures? ________________________________________________________________________

7. Why is Exploring the South American rain forest, a scientist discovers a mysterious organism and brings it back to the lab for further study. What cell characteristics should the scientist examine to tell whether the organism is an animal or plant? Why?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
