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.

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.
What type of organism is an elodea?
Elodea cells are plant cells which are mainly found in aquatic plants which are commonly known as water weeds. They have a cell membrane, mitochondria, nucleus, ribosome and so much more.
When the elodea leaf is moved from salt solution n placed back in water what happens to the cells?
When you deal with problems like this, you need to consider diffusion and osmosis. In this case, you would refer to diffusion, which is the movement of water across a membrane from high concentrations to low concentrations (to try to balance the concentrations). First consider what happens to the cells when you place the elodea leaf in the salt solution; the water in the cells tries to balance the high concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the surrounding solution, so the water leaves the leaf, thus the cells shrink. Now when you put the elodea leaf into regular water again, there is a higher concentration of water in the surrounding environment compared to inside the leaf's cells, so in attempt to balance concentrations, water goes INTO the cells, thus the cells in the elodea leaf swell (expand).
Are vacuoles in distilled water elodea leaf cells hypotonic isotonic?
isotonic, things remain the same
Will the elodea leaf swells up if it's kept in 5 of saline water?
Yes, the Elodea leaf will swell up if it is kept in 5 percent saline water. It causes its cells to swell, which usually causes it to die.
Which layer has the largest cells in elodea leaf?
The lower epidermis of the elodea leaf has the largest cell.
Why didnt we stain the elodea leaf?
They are purple in color. So there is no need
What domain does a elodea leaf belong in?
An Elodea leaf belongs in the domain Eukarya, as it is a complex, multicellular organism with cells that contain a true nucleus.
Why don't you have to stain the elodea leaf cell?
The reason for this is that many cells have organelles that are very hard to see under a microscope, staining these cells allows you to more easily see these organelles. In the case of an Elodea, the invisble organelles is the central vacuole.
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.
Why does osmosis cause elodea leaf cells to shrink?
Due to plasmolysis

Are vacuoles in distilled water elodea leaf cells hypotonic isotonic?
isotonic, things remain the same
What happens to the cells of an elodea leaf when mounted on 10 percent salt solution?
the elodea cells swell and the cell becimes fat and dies
