What else can I help you with?
What organelles become more visible after being stained with iodine?
Iodine stains starch blue. You will be able to see the plastids where the starch is stored in the cytoplasm.
What is the colour for a plant cell's starch grains?
The colour for a plant cell's starch grains is typically blue or black when stained with iodine solution. This is due to the formation of a complex between iodine and starch, which results in the characteristic colour change.
What would you expect to see inside the stained cells nucleus?
It would be the color you stained.
What substance is yellow-brown in colour?
Iodine
What does stand l for on the periodic table?
I stands for iodine. It is placed in group-17.
What organelles become more visible after being stained with iodine?
Iodine stains starch blue. You will be able to see the plastids where the starch is stored in the cytoplasm.
What is the colour for a plant cell's starch grains?
The colour for a plant cell's starch grains is typically blue or black when stained with iodine solution. This is due to the formation of a complex between iodine and starch, which results in the characteristic colour change.
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.
What color is Lugol's iodine?
The color of the chromosomes stained in a onion cell is usually a deep purple.
What turns blue black when stained with iodine?
Starches turn blue-black when stained with iodine (which usually stains things a reddish-brown or amber color).Iodine turns blue black when starch is present
Are there cellular structures other than amyloplasts stained intensely by iodine?
Yes epithelial cells are stained
What are the comparison between cheek cell stained with iodine and cheek cell stained with methylene blue?
Cheek cells stained with iodine typically appear yellow-brown, highlighting the presence of starch granules if any are present, but they may not show much cellular detail. In contrast, cheek cells stained with methylene blue exhibit a more vibrant blue color, allowing for clearer visualization of cellular structures such as the nucleus and cytoplasm. Methylene blue is better for highlighting cellular morphology, while iodine is primarily used for specific staining of certain components. Overall, methylene blue provides more detail for observing cell structure compared to iodine.
When a onion cell is stained with iodine which organelles are you not able to see under a compound light microscope?
Under a compound light microscope, you would not be able to see specific organelles like the lysosomes, peroxisomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus in an onion cell stained with iodine. These organelles are typically smaller and/or transparent, making them difficult to visualize with this type of microscope.
What structures of the cells were stained the darkest?
In a cell stained sample, structures with higher nucleic acid content, such as the nucleus and nucleoli, tend to stain the darkest due to the affinity of dyes like hematoxylin to bind to DNA and RNA. Published images of stained cells often show the nucleus as the darkest stained structure under light microscopy.
Why are tomato cells stained with methylene blue as opposed to iodine solution?
Tomato cells are stained with methylene blue because it binds to nucleic acids, allowing for visualization of the cell's nucleus and DNA content under a microscope. Iodine solution, on the other hand, is typically used to stain starch grains due to its ability to form a complex with starch molecules, rather than DNA.
What do you observe when you observe a potato stained with iodine?
If the iodine on/in the potato turns dark blue/purple/black, it means the iodine has reacted to the starch in the potato and has changed color.
How did the iodine soluton affect the image of the onin cell?
The iodine solution stained the onion cell by binding to starch molecules present in the cell. This caused the cell to appear darker or blue-black under a microscope, allowing for better visualization of the cell's structures like the nucleus and cell walls.
