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.
