ALL EUKARYOTIC CELLS LEAF; CORK; ONION; SKIN CELLS FROM CHEEK AND ARM What organelles are visible with the light microscope? How is each cell’s structure related to its function?
PLANT CELL LEAF CORK ONION What organelles do they have in common? What organelles are different? How are the similarities and differences in STRUCTURE related to the FUNCTION of these plant parts?

SORRY NO PHOTO FOR YOUR SKIN CELL SLIDE! Function: To cover and protect a surface These are dead cells – heavily keratinized (keratin is a protein) Like “floor tiles”
