Essay Question
1 (a) Cell wall - has cellulose fibre and gives shape to the plant cell
Vacuole - surrounded by tonoplast and contains cell sap
Chloroplast - contains chlorophyll pigments and carries out the photosynthetic
process
Membrane - controls the substances that enter and move out of the cell
Nucleus - control centre of all cell activities
Cytoplasm - substances in the cell that are located between the plasma
membrane and the nucleus
Mitochondrion - the main site of energy generation, resulting from the
oxidation of
food
(b) Put two drops of distilled water on the glass slide by using a dropper.
Use a small blade to cut a slice of red onion peel.
Use a forceps to remove the epidermis in the onion peel.
Place the epidermis in the drop of distilled water on the glass slide that is
prepared.

With the help of the perch needle, cover the epidermis with the glass slide cover.
By using a light microscope, study the structure of the epidermis cell, first at a low
power, and then at a high power.
Transfer the glass slide from the microscope and place a piece of filter paper on
one end of the glass slide cover.
Drop iodine solution on the side of the glass slide cover while absorbing the
solution at the other end of the slide using filter paper.
Observe the glass slide again through the microscope at a low power in order to
focus at the cell, before changing to a higher power.
Draw and label the onion cell structure that you observed through the microscope.
