What factorS or structureS might be involved in determining the cells shape?
The factors/structures that might be involved in determining the shape of a cell are cytoskeleton, cell wall and central vacuole.

Compare and contrast the onion cells, elodea cells, and cheek cells. This requires several sentences. Explain any differences you noted other that the difference in shape?
A similarity of of the three cells is that the Elodea cells, onion cells and cheek cells are eukaryotic cells. Also all three cells have a cell membrane, cytoplasms, and a nucleus (not visible in Elodea cells, but we know the existence). Some differences are that the Elodea cells consist of chloroplasts, while the onion cells and cheek cells do not. The onion cells …show more content…
Based on my observations and knowledge, the purpose of adding a stain to specimens to be examined with a compound light microscope is to enhance the view of the specimen and to highlight to the motility of certain specimens.

Our text says there are numerous other organelles present in eukaryotic cells but you did not observe them. How can you explain this?
There are numerous other organelles present in eukaryotic cells, but we didn’t observe them because the power of our microscopes isn’t strong enough to view those microscopic little organelles.

Imagine you are given a slide of an unidentified cell. Explain, in detail, how you would determine if it was a plant or animal cell. What structureS, etc. would you look for? This requires you to explain what you should see when looking at a plant as well as an animal cell.
If a slide of an unidentified cell was given, the best way to determine if it is a plant or animal cell is to look for cell wall and chloroplasts. When looking at a plant cell, the cell wall is quite obvious because it creates a parallel boundary with the cell membrane. Comparing this to an animal cell they only have one boundary surrounding them. Next, the chloroplasts are clear to observe because of the green pigmentation it provides, which is not present in animal

Interactions Between Fructose With Elosaccharide

Johnson Cale Hatfield, Selena Cantu, Paul Ridgedell Biology 1441: Cell and Molecular Biology Laboratory, Andrew Corbin, 10/06/2014 Fruit sugar or known as Fructose is a ketonic monosaccharide found in many plants, honey, and fruit. It is made up of 6 atoms of Carbon, 12 atoms of Hydrogen, and 6 atoms of Oxygen. In this experiment, we will measure the different amounts between CO2 in fructose with Elodea, CO2 in water with Elodea, and CO2 in with just water. The solution of each beaker was injected…

Essay on Biology Factors that affect the rate of Photosynthesis Practice Coursework

which photosynthesis happens. Introduction Photosynthesis is a series of chemical reactions that uses energy from sunlight to produce food. The product or ‘food’ is Glucose which is a sugar, photosynthesis happens in the cells in green parts of plants, for example in leaf cells. Photosynthesis can also occur in some microorganisms, for example phytoplankton. Chlorophyll is needed for photosynthesis, it is a green substance which absorbs sunlight and allows the energy to be used to convert carbon…

Under What Conditions To Cells Lose Or Gain Water?

conditions to cells lose or gain water? Questions: 1. Did water move into or out of the cell while it was surrounded by a hypotonic solution? Why? Water moved into the cell by osmosis because the concentration of the molecules was greater outside the cell. 2. In which direction did water move through the cell membrane when the cell was surrouded by a hypertonic solution? Why? Water moved out of or away from however you want to say it because the solution because the concentration outside the cell has…

photosynthesis will decrease. Also as temperatures increase the rate rises and then falls as the enzymes denature. Elodea is a water plant, where photosynthesis occurs. It lives in water and depends on light energy to convert chemical energy in order to grow and develop. Throughout this experiment it will be investigated how the light affects photosynthesis is Elodea. Sunlight can affect photosynthesis because normally when there is more light the process of photosynthesis increase, this…
