Dye is used in the preparation of cheek smear specimens to provide contrast and make it easier to visualize and identify cells under the microscope. Dye helps highlight the cellular structures of the cheek cells, making it easier for scientists to analyze and study them.

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.
No, Animal cells do not have chloroplasts.
no
The cheek contains muscle cells, covered by epithelial cells.
This is because the cheek cell is transparent. Since the membrane of the cheek cell is selectively permeable, it allows the methylene blue to enter the cell , therefore makes it blue in color from the inside. Then we are able to see the cheek cell properly under a microscope... please note. : we are supposed to add a bit of water and gliserene too . WATER : to transfer the cheek cells on to the slide AND GLISERENE: to prevent the cheek cells from drying up.
No chloroplasts in cheek and onion cells
no cheek cells do not have chlorophyll only plant cells have chlorophyll its what turns the plant green.No, chlorophyll is the green pigment found in plants, which takes part in the process of photosynthesis. It is not found in cheek cells.
With most cells you can see right through them.
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.
