Prokaryotic Cells

Materials
1. Plain yogurt

2. Flat toothpicks
3. Slides
4. Compound microscopes
5. Cover slips

6. Dropper bottle of water

Procedure
1. The flat end of toothpicks was used to place a tiny drop of yogurt onto a clean slide.

2. The drop of water was added, and the yogurt was mixed.
3. Cover slip was placed and observed under low and high magnification. Observation was
drawn.

Eukaryotic Cells

Animal cell
Materials
1. Chicken liver cells
2. Slides and cover slips
3. Dropper bottle of water
4. Methylene blue stain
5. White tile
6. Forceps and spatula

7. Toothpicks
8. Compound microscope
9. Filter paper
Procedure
1. Forceps was used to hold the cut piece of chicken liver and toothpicks were used to scraped
its surface.

2. The scraped chicken liver cells were placed into a drop of water on a clean slide and agitated
so that the cells disperse. Covered with a cover slip.
3. A drop of methylene blue stain was added to one edge of the cover slip without removing
the cover slip. The stain under the cover slip was drawn by touching a piece of filter paper to
the opposite side of the cover slip.
4. Gentlle pressure was applied. This helps to spread the cells into a single layer and removes
excess stain.
5. Was observed under low and high magnification and the structure of the chicken liver cells
was examined
6. The nucleus was found.
7. All the structures were drawn and labeled.

Plant Cell

Materials
1. Onion bulb
2. Clean slides
3. Cover slips

4. Distilled water
5. Razor blade
6. White tile
7. Forceps

8. Compound microscope
Procedure
1. An onion bulb was cut into quarters. One of the fleshly scale leaves was removed.

2. The onion scale was bent backwards until it snaps, and a ragged piece of epidermis was
produced.
3. Forceps were used to remove a small piece of epidermis and spread evenly in a drop of water
and was observed under low magnification.

4. The cell wall and cytoplasm were identified.

5. Light source was adjusted to obtain a clear image of the nucleus.
6. Change to high magnification. The structures were drawn and labeled
