Formula
Principle: To study and compare the structure of animal and plant cells, identifying their key organelles.
🎯
Aim
To study and compare the structure of animal and plant cells, identifying their key organelles.
🧰
Apparatus
- Microscope
- Prepared slides of animal and plant cells
- Drawing sheet and pencils
🧪
Procedure
- Place the plant cell slide under the microscope.
- Focus at low power (10x), then switch to high power (40x).
- Identify and draw: cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, vacuole, chloroplasts.
- Repeat with the animal cell slide.
- Compare structures: note the absence of cell wall and chloroplasts in animal cells.
