Is it useful to stain the Elodea and Anabaena cells with methylene blue stain?

Yes, because the methylene blue stain makes the organelles in eucharyotic cells visible to us in a basic microscope.

What are the sizes of cheek epithelial cells and elodea leaf cells?
The human epithelial cells are thick and boxlike whereas elodea cells are thin and platelike. The cells of elodea are rigid and rectangular in shape.
Do elodea cells contain nucei?
Yes, an elodea cell does have a nucleus. I just did an experiment in Biology and the nucleus is just hard to see unless you are using a stain, like iodine or methylene blue. The nucleus is hard to see because it is small and the large vacuole may obstruct your view of it. All eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, and all prokaryotic ells have a nucleoid region.
Onion cells and elodea cells structure differences?
An ELODEA cell is a PLANT cell. A HUMAN EPIDERMAIL cell is an ANIMAL cell. if you know that plant cells and animal cells have different organelles, then you should be good to go.
Why do you stain an elodea leaf when observing cells?
because it is already green when you look at it so if you stain it, say with methylene blue, the color will change and you will not be able to recognize some of the structures in the cell like you would without it being stained.
Why methylene blue can act on only dead yeast cells but not on live yeast cells?
Active enzymes within living cells cause methylene blue to become colorless. Since dead yeast cells have inactive/denatured enzymes, the methylene blue stays blue.
Which are smaller onion cells or elodea?
Elodea cells are smaller
What is thee purpose of adding methylene blue to the specimen?
Adding methylene blue to a slide will stain animal cells and make the nuclei more visible.
Is elodea cells organisms?

Do Elodea cell have cytoplasm?
yes elodea cells do. They use it to move.
What cell has chloroplasts onion cell or elodea cell?
Both. Both cells are plant cells and plant cells have chloroplasts. (Elodea is the waterweeds)

What structure the cheeks cells and the Elodea cells have in common?
Both cells

yes
Are chloroplasts present in elodea oblong cells?
yes because the elodea is a plant cell
