Virtuаl Lаb - Micrоscоpy – Plаnt Cells (Oniоn Epidermal Cells) The general shape of an onion cell is typically circular or spherical.
Virtuаl Lаb - Micrоscоpy – Animаl Cells (Human Epidermal Cells) Animal cells are anоther example of a eukaryotic cell. They are surrounded by a selectively permeable membrane called a plasma membrane and they have a large nucleus that contains genetic material. Some animal cells are motile with cilia or flagella. The animal cells that we will be observing in this simulation come from the inside of our mouths (cheek epidermal cells). Cheek cells are squamous epithelial cells that line the inside of our oral cavity. They protect the cells underneath and secrete mucin to lubricate the oral cavity. Cheek cells divide quickly and they shed easily. Every time you eat, you are swallowing thousands of your own cheek cells. In this activity, we will observe cheek cells from the inside of our mouths under the light microscope. Since most cellular structures are colorless, it is important to treat many kinds of cells with some kind of stain before observing them with a light microscope. The color contrast the stain provides allows better observation of cellular detail and activity.
Virtuаl Lаb - Micrоscоpy – Animаl Cells (Human Epidermal Cells) If yоu were given a slide of cells from an unknown organism, you could determine whether the cells are from a plant or an animal by looking for the cell wall, chloroplasts, and a vacuole.
