6. Prepare a wet Onion Slide A.You will be given a piece of onion by your teacher. B.Remove the transparent membrane from the inner surface. C.Place a flat piece of this membrane on a glass slide. D.Cover the membrane with a drop of water and a cover glass. E.Before to keep the membrane from folding or wrinkling. F.Throw the left over pieces of onion in the trash. G.Observe slide with both lower and high power magnification. A.You will be given a piece of onion by your teacher. B.Remove the transparent membrane from the inner surface.

8. Make a sketch of your onion membrane from the highest power of magnification and label the parts below. Observation 1Observation 2 Power _______Power ________ Sketch here

9. What do your onion skin tell you? 4. Estimate the length in microns of the cells, as seen under high power. a) Count the number of cells, laid end to end necessary to cross the diameter of the field. b) Divide the number of cells into the known field of diameter. 5.Do the cells have a cell wall? 4. Estimate the length in microns of the cells, as seen under high power. a) Count the number of cells, laid end to end necessary to cross the diameter of the field. b) Divide the number of cells into the known field of diameter. 5.Do the cells have a cell wall?

10. Explaining Plant Wall c.) Remove the cover slip, add a drop of methylene blue stain, and replace the cover glass on the membrane. d.)Observe the slide under both low and high power magnification, 6. Can you still see the double outer layer, that is, the cell wall? c.) Remove the cover slip, add a drop of methylene blue stain, and replace the cover glass on the membrane. d.)Observe the slide under both low and high power magnification, 6. Can you still see the double outer layer, that is, the cell wall?

11. Explaining Plant Cell Nucleus 7. Why was the stain added? 8. Can you see a dark, round structure inside the cell? Do all the cells have the dark, round structure? This structure is the control center of the cell called the nucleus. 7. Why was the stain added? 8. Can you see a dark, round structure inside the cell?
