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.
Which cell structure was visible when elodea leaf cell wet mount was examined with the compound light microscope?
The nucleus and cell wall of elodea cell can be seen more clearly after staining it with iodine.
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.
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 is the vacuole so large in the elodea leaf?
It needs more support because of its size.
Which layer has the largest cells in elodea leaf?
The lower epidermis of the elodea leaf has the largest cell.
Does the elodea leaf and the onion both have vacuoles?
no
Is a Elodea a leaf or a root?
Elodea is a leafy aquatic plant. It is often used in aquariums. it has many leaves and can have roots.
Why couldn't you use an oak leaf instead of an elodea leaf while on the microscope?
becuase it is to thick
Explain Why you could not use a grass leaf in this investigation?
A oak leaf would make a poor wet mount slide as does not allow the light to pass through making the slide difficult to read. An onion leaf makes a better wet mount as light easily passes through the cells making the slide very clear and easy to read.
Why does osmosis cause elodea leaf cells to shrink?
Due to plasmolysis
Why didnt we stain the elodea leaf?
They are purple in color. So there is no need
