Size of Allium cepa cells and Ovibos moschatus Oculi cells: Data collection and processing
Raw data
Table 1: Longest length recorded of Allium cepa cells and Ovibos moschatus Oculi cells Length of Allium cepa cells/ m - ±5.0 | Diameter of Ovibos moschatus Oculi cells/ m - ±5.0 | 330.0 | 25.0 | 360.0 | 30.0 | 320.0 | 30.0 | 280.0 | 40.0 | 300.0 | 40.0 | 350.0 | 30.0 | 300.0 | 30.0 | 290.0 | 30.0 | 420.0 | 20.0 | 280.0 | 40.0 | 310.0 | 20.0 | 320.0 | 30.0 | 180.0 | 20.0 | 250.0 | 20.0 | 150.0 | 30.0 |
Observations:
The appearance of the Allium cepa cells through the microscope was more of a regular, rectangular shape in brown colour. The colour of the cell was due to the iodine solution used to stain. As the size of the Allium cepa cells was bigger, the nucleus and cell wall of the cells could also be spotted through the microscope.
On the other hand, the cells of Ovibos moschatus Oculi were in an irregular shape with much smaller size. Thus, the nucleus of the cell could not be spotted. The Ovibos moschatus Oculi cell was in blue colour because of the methylene blue added.
