Using your lab manual, perform those parts of Exercise 1 listed below:
|
1A: |
Parts and operation of the compound light microscope Determination of magnification and field diameter Exercises with the letter"e" and other newsprint |
|
2A: |
Stained cheek cell, noting plasma membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm with organelles. Contrast this to the Elodea cell, with its cell wall and chloroplasts. Take a section of Elodea leaf and look at it on a slide under a cover slip. What are the chloroplasts doing? What does that represent? Where is the plasma membrane located in a plant cell? |
|
1B: |
Dissecting scope exercise with fluke or tapeworm slide. How does the view of a fluke or tapeworm in a dissecting microscope compare to that in a light microscope? |
|
1C: |
Not for today--we will use the HVCC scanning electron microscope to look at arthropods later in the semester |
Your laboratory instructor may base homework and/or quizzes on questions raised in this handout or in the assigned reading.
