LABORATORY ACTIVITY #1

THE PHYSICAL BASIS OF INHERITANCE

All living organisms are composed of one or more cells. A single-celled


organism is called a unicellular organism; and a multi-celled organism, a multicellular
organism.
Among living organisms, the cell is considered as the basic unit of structure
and function because all the characteristics and processes associated with life, like
growth and reproduction, are first encountered and manifested at the cellular level of
biological organization.
Based on the structure, there are two fundamental types of cells, namely
prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Two main differences between two types of cells
are the following:
1. Other than the cell membrane, prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-
bounded structures which eukaryotic cells generally have.
2. The chromosomes of prokaryotic cells are chemically composed of DNA
only (naked DNA), unlike the chromosomes of eukaryotic cells which are
chemically composed of DNA and proteins.
Bacteria and blue algae have the prokaryotic type of cell, whereas all other
living organisms have the eukaryotic type of cell.
Structure of Eukaryotic Cells
A cell consists of three parts: the cell membrane, the nucleus, and, between
the two, the cytoplasm. Plant and animal cells have many of the same organelles.
But in some cases, the organelles in cells are different. For example, in plant cells,
there are more types of organelles than are found in animal cells. And fungal cells
have organelles not found in any other cell type.
Exercise 1
CELL
I. OBJECTIVE
- to be able to identify the different parts of cell that is visible under
microscope.
- to be able to know the functions of each organelle of the cell.
II. MATERIALS
Compound microscope, glass sides, cover slip, distilled water, methylene blue,
toothpick and blade, pencil eraser. If prepared slide is available much better. 1
prepared slide of onion for plant cell and 1 prepared slide of cheek skin for animal
cell.
III. PROCEDURES
A. Plant Cell
1. Carefully peel off a portion of the outmost layers of the cells (epidermis) of
the fleshy leaf base of an onion bulb. Prepare a temporary mount of the
specimen with methylene blue solution.
2. Examine under LPO and HPO. Under LPO draw several cell to show the
general arrangement of the cells.
3. Under HPO, draw a cell and label the following parts that is visible.
B. Animal Cell
1. Scrape gently the inside of one’s own cheek by using the flattened end of
the toothpick.
2. Swirl the scaping in a drip of water on a slide before placing a cover slip.
3. Examine the preparation under the LPO of the compound microscope.
4. Draw and label the parts
IV. DRAWING

A. Plant Cell

B. Animal Cell
V. QUESTION

1. What are the different parts of the cell and give their functions?

2, What are the difference between plant cell and animal cell?
