BIO 131 Lab #2 Drawings of Animal and Plant Cells Instructions: 1. Set up light microscope for use. Handle with care. 2. Obtain a slide of animal cells and observe first under low-power (4X)‚ then under medium power (10X)‚ then finally switch to high-power (40X). 3. Make careful observations of the structure of the cells. 4. Draw what you see under high power on a sheet of paper. Place your drawing in a circle measuring 10-15 cm. Use only pencil‚ draw neat lines‚ do not shade. The title

Ligia Ramos 11th Grade HL Biology – Ms. Bartels Due Monday October 21st Limitations on Cell Size Research Question: What is the correlation between surface-to-volume ration and ion exchange and how does this relate to cells? Evaluation of Method and Results: Errors/ Limitations: | Suggestions for improvement: | Impact on Results: | Precision - Human error –cutting cubes freely‚ resulting in very different sized cubes‚ especially for the 1cm x 1cm x 1 cm cubes. All the cubes also had slightly

Examination of Onion Epidermal Cells Requirements: Iodine solution HARMFUL Onion Distilled Water Apparatus: Microscope Microscope slides & cover slips Tile Knife Tweezers Pasteur Pipettes Assignment: I was given the onion once it had been chopped up on the tile‚ ready for me to peel back the skin I required using the tweezers. I then placed piece of onionskin onto the microscope slide‚ making sure there were no folds or creases‚ and put a drop of iodine onto the slide

INTRODUCTION An important aspect of any biotechnological processes is the culture of animal cells in artificial media. These animal cells in culture are used in recombinant DNA technology‚ genetic manipulations and in a variety of industrial processes. Now-a -days it has become possible to use the cell and tissue culture in the areas of research which have a potential for economic value and commercialization. The animal cell cultures are being extensively used in production of vaccines‚ monoclonal antibodies

this essay I will include information regarding: cell differentiation‚ the functions of various cell organelles‚ tissues and a comparison of different tissue types. Cellular differentiation is the process by which a less specialised cell becomes a more specialised cell type. Differentiation happens a number of times during the development of a multicellular organism as the organism changes from a fertilised egg cell to a complex system of tissues and cell types. Differentiation dramatically changes

Cell Membrane Transport The purposes for these experiments is to be able to understand osmosis and its relationship to tonicity of solutions‚ and the transportation of molecules across cell membranes. It’s also used to understand‚ and how temperature affects diffusion. You also learn how to test for presences of starches and sugars in solutions. In the first exercise I will be testing for diffusion through an artificial membranes. This one has forty five steps to it. I will not go into

To do so‚ it is essential to

Cell Membrane The Cell Membrane- The cell membrane is a semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell; the cell membrane is made up of phospholipids‚ proteins and carbohydrates. Its function is to protect the integrity of the interior of the cell allowing certain substances into the cell‚ while keeping other substances out. The phospholipids form a thin‚ flexible sheet while the proteins float in the phospholipid sheet like an ice berg‚ and the carbohydrates extend out from the

Cell Biology Lab - Homework 1 Due to the week of Oct. 6-10th This is NOT a lab group project. Do the work individually. You may use any source other than your fellow students. Show your work‚ use your own words and cite all references. 1. (20 points) The HeLa S3 cancer cell line is considered to be “continuous” due to acquired mutations that enable the cells to evade senescence. This property is one of several hallmark characteristics of cancer cell lines. Describe three hallmark characteristics
