Form 4 Biology Activity 2.1 Preparing and Examining Plant Cells and Animal Cells

This document contains lists of materials and apparatus needed for several biology experiments on plant and animal cells. It includes 16 items for preparing and examining plant and animal cells under a microscope. Another activity requires slides of unicellular organisms, animal and plant tissues, as well as microscopes. A third activity involves studying the movement of substances across a semi-permeable membrane using distilled water, glucose, and starch solutions with Visking tubes.
