Answer:
To Prepare Stained Temporary Mount of Human Cheek Cells
Procedure
- Gently scrape the inner side of the cheek using a toothpick, which will collect some cheek cells.
- Place the cells on a glass slide that has water on it.
- Mix the water and the cheek cells using a needle and spread them.
- Take a few drops of Methylene blue solution using a dropper and add this to the mixture on the slide.
- After 2-3 minutes remove any excess water and stain from the slide using a blotting paper.
- Take a few drops of glycerine using a dropper and add this to the test mixture.
- Take a clean cover slip and lower it carefully on the mixture with the aid of a needle.
- Using a brush and needle, press the cover slip gently to spread the epithelial cells.
- Remove any extra liquid around the cover slip using a blotting paper.
- Place this glass side on the stage of the compound microscope and view it.
Observations
- A large number of flat and irregular-shaped cells are observed.
- The cells do not have a cell wall. However, each cell has a thin cell membrane.
- A deeply stained nucleus is observed at the center of each cell.
- No prominent vacuoles are observed in the cells.
Conclusion
As the cells observed do not have a cell wall, nor a prominent vacuole, the cells of the specimen on the slide are animal cells.
