the iodine stains the cell, so we can see the structures better. the nucleus is darkest
Human cheek cells are part of the integumentary system, which includes the skin and its associated structures. Cheek cells are found on the surface of the skin lining the inside of the cheeks.
Yes, cheek cells contain ribosomes, which are responsible for protein synthesis within the cell. Ribosomes are essential cellular structures found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
No, Animal cells do not have chloroplasts.
Human cheek cells do not have layers like the epidermis of the skin. Cheek cells are simple squamous epithelial cells that form a single layer on the inside of the cheek.
To make slides of cheek cells for microscopy, you will need a microscope slide, cover slip, swab or toothpick to collect the cells, a staining solution (such as iodine), and a microscope with at least 400x magnification. You may also need a pipette or dropper to apply the staining solution.
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.

Human cheek cells are part of the integumentary system, which includes the skin and its associated structures. Cheek cells are found on the surface of the skin lining the inside of the cheeks.
It is much easier to extract DNA from the softer cellular structures of the inner cheek than the tougher exterior skin layers.
the cheek cell is not skin and so it is not like a finger, plus the finger cell would hurt much more, cheek cells are just a scraping with a touch of Iodine.
Yes, cheek cells contain ribosomes, which are responsible for protein synthesis within the cell. Ribosomes are essential cellular structures found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
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.
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.
No, Animal cells do not have chloroplasts.
no
The cheek contains muscle cells, covered by epithelial cells.
No chloroplasts in cheek and onion cells
