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.

∙ 6y agoThe chromatin (DNA plus histone protein) in the nucleus takes up more stain than cytoplasm and hence the nucleus appears darker. Cytoplasm is mostly water and therefore doesn't stain as well as the condensed material in the nucleus.

Why did you iodine to cheek cells structures and what is darkest?
the iodine stains the cell, so we can see the structures better. the nucleus is darkest
What cell parts take the stain in?
In a typical cell the cell wall gets stained most. But sometimes even the nucleus gets stained but more specifically the chromatin material in the nucleus.
What can you observe when you stain a cheek cell with methylene blue stain?
You can observe cheek cells
What is the scientific name for a human cheek cell?
Cytoplasm nucleus and cell membrane containing 46 chromosomes
Is a cheek cell a eukaryote or prokaryote?
It is Eukaryote =]
What structure in the cheek cells was 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.

the iodine stains the cell, so we can see the structures better. the nucleus is darkest
Does the Nucleus have a cheek cell or leaf cell?
The cheek cell has a nucleus and so does a leaf cell.
Why is the nucleus missing in a cheek cell?
There is no nucleus because it is technically a dead cell.
What are two organelles that shoukd be visible in a cheek cell leb but arent due to the lighting?
They only thing you can see in a cheek cell would be the nucleus and the cellular membrane. These cells must be stained because they won't be visible under a light microscope all by themselves.
How is a cheek cell eukaritotic?
because it has a nucleus.
What cell parts take the stain in?
In a typical cell the cell wall gets stained most. But sometimes even the nucleus gets stained but more specifically the chromatin material in the nucleus.
Does an animal cheek cell have a nucleus?
All animal cells have a nucleus.
Does a cheek cell have a nuclus?
Cheek cells are normal eukariyotic cells.They have an nucleus.
How long strands of double helical DNA fit into the nucleus of a single cheek cell?
the strands are a lot tinier than the nucleus of a cheek cell
Why do cheek lining cells appear purple?
The nucleus at the central part of the cheek cell contains DNA. When a drop of methylene blue is introduced, the nucleus is stained, which makes it stand out and be clearly seen under the microscope. Although the entire cell appears light blue in color, the nucleus at the central part of the cell is much darker, which allows it to be identified.
What can you observe when you stain a cheek cell with methylene blue stain?
You can observe cheek cells
