Microviewer: Cell Structure and Specialized Cells

Microviewer: Cell Structure and
Specialized Cells
Please carefully draw each Microviewer slide in detail about the
size of the circle in your lab notebook. Label each picture and
answer the questions under the illustration in your lab notebook.
Always draw in pencil and shade using colored pencils.
Include the magnification you are looking at.
Also, label any structures that are pointed out in the slide.
Cork and cell discovery. Just answer first two questions
1. Describe how cells were named and discovered:
2. Why are the cork cells empty?
Your illustrations
do not have to be
any bigger than
