Under high-power objective (HPO) microscopy, Paramecium cells exhibit unique structures like cilia, which are used for locomotion and feeding, and contractile vacuoles for osmoregulation, not found in the other specimens. Squamous epithelial cells, typically seen in animal tissues, contain tight junctions and desmosomes, which are specialized for cell-to-cell adhesion. In contrast, onion root cells display characteristic features such as large central vacuoles and cell walls, which are absent in the other specimens. Each specimen reveals distinct cellular adaptations suited to their specific functions and environments.
Common cell parts found in paramecium, onion epidermis, and squamous cells include the cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, and mitochondria. These structures are essential for cell function, providing support, energy production, and genetic material storage.
Under high power objective (HPO) microscopy, both Paramecium and onion root cells exhibit common cellular structures such as the cell membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. The cell membrane serves as a protective barrier, while the cytoplasm contains various organelles essential for cellular processes. In both specimens, the nucleus acts as the control center, housing genetic material. Although Paramecium is a single-celled organism and onion root cells are part of a multicellular plant, these fundamental components remain consistent across both types of cells.
To make a slide out of an onion skin, prepare a clean glass microscope slide and cover slip. Gently peel a thin layer of the onion skin and carefully place it on the slide. Add a drop of water, then gently apply the cover slip over the onion skin to create a flat specimen. Carefully examine under a microscope.
prepared by adding water to the specimen which increases its translucency and makes it easier to stain. It also has a tendency to cause the specimen to flatten which makes the specimen easier to view.
The root tip of an onion is an ideal specimen for examining mitotic division because it contains actively dividing cells at the root apex. These cells are in different stages of mitosis, making it easy to observe and study the process of cell division under a microscope. Additionally, onion cells have large, clear chromosomes that are easily visible, aiding in the observation of mitotic phases.

In paramecium, the presence of cilia is a distinctive feature, as these hair-like structures aid in movement and feeding. In contrast, onion root cells exhibit a prominent cell wall and large central vacuoles, which are not found in paramecium. While both cell types have organelles like nuclei and mitochondria, the specific structures highlight their differing functions and adaptations to their environments.
A paramecium and an amoeba are eukaryotes, as are onions.

This is because plant cells do not contain mitochondria or the Golgi apparatus.
Cells of an onion specimen appear rectangular or square in shape, with distinct cell walls forming the outer boundary. These cells also contain a large central vacuole that may appear as a clear, empty space in the center of the cell under the microscope. The cells are tightly packed together in a regular pattern, creating a characteristic appearance when viewed at high magnification.

You should adjust the fine focus knob to sharpen the image when viewing the onion cell under high-power objective (HPO) on a microscope. Rotate the knob gently to focus the specimen until the image appears clear.
An XL onion, or an onion who decided to not be an onion anymore.
No, an onion is not a lily. It is not a flower. An onion is a vegetable.
