Microscope Lab: Comparing Monocot and Dicots
Title: Root and Stems
Purpose: Students are to make their own
Materials: Students are to make their own
Procedures:
PART A:
1. Examine the slide of the root
2. Make a detailed sketch of the root and label the parts i) cortex, epidermis, endodermis, root hairs, vascular cylinder.
3. This is to be done under low power magnification (40x) for the monocot and dicot specimens provided on the slide.
PART B:
4. Examine the slide of the stem
5. Make a detailed sketch of the stem and label the parts.
6. This is to be done under low or medium power magnification. To make sure that you do not have to draw the entire field of view. Simply draw a slice of a circle (field of view) and draw that out. Make sure to state the magnification of your drawing.
7. Using the high power magnification sketch a detailed picture of the vascular bundle in both the monocot and dicot stems. Clearly label each part of the vascular bundle.
Discussion:
Using a chart format summarize each cell type, function, and location in both the monocot and dicot plant. This is to be done for both the root and the stem.
This lab will be due on Wednesday March 30th.

Ryan, please just use what was indicated on the board or what is posted on the web site to write the procedures.

have a good easter

Hi Mr. Smith;
For the discussion part of the microscope lab, it says to summarize the cell type. What do you mean by that?
thanks...have a happy easter!

No there is no conclusion to be done for this particular lab. As for the summarizing the type of cell. Simply discuss the specific tissue structures that you see and describ them with detail and functionality.
Happy Easter to all, and hope that you all had a lot of chocolate.

as for the discussion question do you want the type function and location for each part of the cell
I'm a little confused on the discussion question, aren't the explination of the different parts (epidermis, cortex..) like the same in both monocot and dicot? Then how do u want us to set up the chart. Won't it just be repeatin the same thing? Thanks
