Q.1. Why do we use stain for mounting the slide?
The stain makes cell wall, nucleus, cell membrane visible as they take up the stain.
Q.2. Name the type of microscope used to observe the slide of animal/plant cell.
One should use compound microscope with lens having the magnification of 10X, 40X and 100X.
Q.3. Give the use of glycerine in slide preparation.
Glycerine prevents drying of specimen. The material remains wet and do not dry.
Q.4. Why can’t we see all the cell-organelles under microscope?
The other cell organelles do not take up the stain and are too small to be seen under the lab microscope.
Q.5. Give one example of epithelial cell.
Cheek cell
Q.6. How many types of lenses are present in a compound microscope?
It consists of two lenses—objective lens and eyepiece.
Q.7. What is the function of cover slip in slide mounting?
A cover slip keeps the slide mounted material at a fixed position, the covering prevents the material from drying and also protects the lens of the microscope from getting in contact with the material which can lead to fungul growth on the lens.
Q.8. What should be the lens magnification when you place the slide under microscope?
Initially the lens with lower power i.e., 10X should be used to see the material and for viewing under higher power use higher magnified lens.
Q.9. What is the position/location of nucleus in animal cell and plant cell?
In plant cell nucleus is present on one side of the cell whereas in animal cell the nucleus is present in the middle of the cell.
Q.10. Why is nucleus present on one side of the plant cell?
The plant cell consists of big vacuoles which occupies the maximum space in the cell hence nucleus is present on the side.
