When stained with iodine and observed under a compound microscope the nucleus will stain the darkest. The cheek cell is frequently employed here as they are simple to collect and tend to take the stain easily.
What else can I help you with?
Are the stained cheek cells nearly the same size and shape?
Stained cheek cells can vary in size and shape depending on the individual's genetics and environmental factors. Generally, cheek cells are relatively uniform in size and shape within a single individual, but there can be variations between different people.
Which of the 2 cells cheek or onion cells have a regular arrangement and structure?
Between the 2 cells that are cheek and onion cells, the one that has a regular arrangement and structure are onion cells. Cheek cells have an irregular shape.
What colour are cheek cells?
methelyn blue
Why did you iodine to cheek cells structures and what is darkest?
Iodine is used to stain cheek cells during microscopic examination to make the cellular structures more visible and easier to identify. The darkest structures in the cheek cells after staining with iodine would typically be the cell nuclei, which are rich in DNA and thus take up more of the iodine stain.
What are the comparison between cheek cell stained with iodine and cheek cell stained with methylene blue?
Cheek cells stained with iodine typically appear yellow-brown, highlighting the presence of starch granules if any are present, but they may not show much cellular detail. In contrast, cheek cells stained with methylene blue exhibit a more vibrant blue color, allowing for clearer visualization of cellular structures such as the nucleus and cytoplasm. Methylene blue is better for highlighting cellular morphology, while iodine is primarily used for specific staining of certain components. Overall, methylene blue provides more detail for observing cell structure compared to iodine.
What is structure of cheek cells and its functions?

Introduction in an onion and cheek slide in a biology practical?
In an onion slide preparation, thin layers of onion cells are placed on a slide, stained, and observed under a microscope to study cell structure. On the other hand, a cheek slide involves gently scraping cells from the inside of the cheek, staining them, and examining them microscopically. Both slides are commonly used in biology practicals to observe and compare plant (onion) and animal (cheek) cell structure.
Why is the nucleus in the cheek cell stained the darkest?
When stained with iodine and observed under a compound microscope the nucleus will stain the darkest. The cheek cell is frequently employed here as they are simple to collect and tend to take the stain easily.
What is the shape of cheek epithelial cells?
The cheek epithelial cells are flat and irregularly shaped. They are polygonal squamous cells that have a very thin membrane.
Do cheek cells have vacuoles?
Cheek cells usually have a vacuole. The cheek cells are part of the human cells and are therefore classified as animal cells which usually have vacuoles.
Does a cheek cell have chlroplast?
No, Animal cells do not have chloroplasts.
Are animal cheek cells the same shape as human cheek cells?
no
