thank you

Answer 2

Answer:

ExplanatiLet us take a small piece from an onion

bulb. With the help of a pair of forceps,

we can peel off the skin (called

epidermis) from the concave side (inner

layer) of the onion. This layer can be

put immediately in a watch-glass

containing water. This will prevent the

peel from getting folded or getting dry.

What do we do with this peel?

• Let us take a glass slide, put a drop of

water on it and transfer a small piece

of the peel from the watch glass to the

slide. Make sure that the peel is

perfectly flat on the slide. A thin camel

hair paintbrush might be necessary to

help transfer the peel. Now we put a

drop of safranin solution on this piece

followed by a cover slip. Take care to avoid air bubbles while putting the

cover slip with the help of a mounting

needle. Ask your teacher for help. We

have prepared a temporary mount of

onion peel. We can observe this slide

under low power followed by high

powers of a compound microscope.
