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.
