Our Objective
Our aim is to prepare stained temporary mounts of onion peel and human cheek cells and to record the observations.
The Theory
Before exploring the details of cell structure, let's understand the differences in the structure of an onion cell and a human cheek cell.
Onion Cell
An onion is a multicellular (consisting of many cells) plant organism.As in all plant cells, the cell of an onion peel consists of a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus and a large vacuole. The nucleus is present at the periphery of the cytoplasm. The vacuole is prominent and present at the centre of the cell. It is surrounded by cytoplasm. The presence of a cell wall and a large vacuole are indicators that help identify plant cells, such as seen in the onion peel.
Human Cheek Cell
As in all animal cells, the cells of the human cheek do not possess a cell wall. A cell membrane that is semi-permeable surrounds the cytoplasm. Unlike plant cells, the cytoplasm in an animal cell is denser, granular and occupies a larger space. The vacuole in an an animal cell is smaller in size, or absent. The nucleus is present at the centre of the cytoplasm.The absence of a cell wall and a prominent vacuole are indicators that help identify animal cells, such as cells seen in the human cheek.

Cell Organelles
Have you ever wondered what the inside of a cell looks like? If you think about the rooms in our homes, the inside of any animal or plant cell has many similar room-like structures called organelles. Here are some names and descriptions of organelles and other parts commonly found in cells.
