Aim
=To prepare a temporary mount of a leaf peel in order to show the stomata of a leaf
Principle/Theory
=Plants are the primary producers. They carry out physiological processes such as photosynthesis and respiration which requires a gas exchange between the tissues of plants and the atmosphere. This process is carried out through tiny openings located in leaves, known as stomata.
Material Required
A potted plant of Bryophyllum or Tradescantia
Needles
Forceps
Watch glass
Dropper
Glass slides
A brush
Coverslips
Blotting paper
Safranin
Compound microscope
Glycerine
Procedure
1. Pick a healthy leaf from the potted plant
2.Fold the leaf to gently pull the peel apart to separate a peeled section from the lower surface of the leaf. Use the forceps to perform this step. Allow the peel to remain in a watch glass holding water for some time.
3.In the watch glass, stain the sample by adding some drops of safranin through a dropper.
Take the peel out after 2-3 minutes. Set it on a clear glass slide
4.Add a drop of glycerin on the peel. Put a clear coverslip over it gently using a needle.
5. Excess glycerin and stain can be removed using blotting paper
6.Examine the slide first under a low-power and then under a high-power magnification of a compound microscope.
Observation
=Visible epidermal cells. The cells in their outline are irregular with no intercellular spaces
=Small openings, stomata are scattered through the epidermal cells
=Guard cells are observed which have chloroplasts and nucleus
=Guard cells are observed having a thin outer covering and a thick inner boundary(concave)
=Guard cells control the closing and opening of the stomata.
Conclusion
=Epidermal cells are found containing stomata on the lower surfaces of the leaf.
Precautions
=Avoid folding the leaf too much. The peel should be snipped to a proper size
=The peel should always be placed at the centre of the slide and the slides should be held from the sides.
=The peel should neither be overstrained nor under strained
=A brush should be used to handle the peel, otherwise would damage cells.
=Glycerin should be used in order to prevent drying of the peel
=Coverslip needs to be placed in such a way that air bubbles are avoided
=Blotting paper can be used to remove excess stain
(Please mark as brainliest) I hope this helped you! Have a nice day!
