    This document summarizes a student's laboratory simulation on microscopy. It reviews that centrioles are present in animal cells but absent in plant cells. A stain was added to human cheek cells to provide contrast and make the cells easier to view under the microscope. The correct steps to obtain a human cheek cell smear are listed as scraping the inside of the cheek, smearing the scrapings on a slide, adding a stain, and applying a coverslip. Diagrams of correctly labeled animal and human epidermal cells are also included.

    Apply what you have learned


    Which feature is present in animal cells, but absent in plant cells?
    Centrioles

    Why was a stain added to the human epidermal cells from the cheek smear prior to
    microscopic observation?

    The stain was used to add contrast and make the cells easier to view.
    The stain preserved the cells to allow for microscopy.

    Lab wrap-up
    Place the steps to obtain a human cheek cell (buccal) smear in the correct order.

    Step 1 : Using a sanitized toothpick gently scrape the inside of the cheek
    Step 2 : Smear the scrapings onto a clean, dry slide
    Step 3 : Add a single drop of stain to slide
    Step 4 : Cover with coverslip

    Correctly labeled animal cell

    Correctly labeled human epidermal cell (microscope view)
