    The student drew diagrams of plant and animal cells they observed under a microscope and calculated the magnification of each drawing. They noted similarities like nuclei, membranes, and organelles, as well as differences in cell walls, shapes, and vacuole sizes between the cells. The student had difficulty finding the animal cell initially and labeled the plant cell drawing in pen instead of pencil. They calculated the plant cell magnification as 200x and animal cell as 520x based on measurements of the actual cell sizes.

    TITLE: Making Biological Drawings of Animal and Plant Cells (DRAWING)

    OBJECTIVE: To be able to label the structures of the plant and animal cell seen under the

    microscope and calculate the magnification of both.

    MATERIALS:

    • Typing sheet

    • Compass

    • Pencil

    • Microscope

    • Plant Cells Slide

    • Animal Cells Slide

    • Camera

    • Ruler

    PROCEDURE:

    1. A microscope was obtained and placed on the lab table.

    2. The microscope was then cleaned up and set up.

    3. A slide of a plant cell was retrieved, cleaned, and placed in between the slide clips.

    4. The plant cell was then viewed at the highest power.

    5. What was observed was then drawn onto a typing sheet within a 10cm diameter.

    6. A slide of animal cell was then retrieved after the plant cell well was being inspected and

    drawn out.

    7. The animal cell was viewed under the microscope at the highest power.

    8. What was observed was then drawn onto a typing sheet within a 10cm diameter.

    9. Both the plant and animal cell organelles were then labeled and the magnification for

    both drawings were calculated.

    DISCUSSION:

    The similarities and differences between the plant and animal cell in which the experimenter

    discovered are plant and animal cell have a nucleus, a cell membrane, cytoplasm, mitochondria,

    cytoskeleton, ribosomes, Endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes, Golgi apparatus and vacuole(s).

    The differences between the two cells are the cell wall, shape, chloroplast, centrioles, and the

    size difference between the vacuoles. The observed specimens are not the same in types and

    shapes. There were more rectangular box-like cells in plant cells while the animal cells were

    slightly showing round, spherical shapes. Both cells showed different colors under the

    microscope (Orange and Pink). The organelles which were largely viewed under the microscope

    were the nucleus, cell wall, cell membrane and cytoplasm. With further research done by the

    researcher, the actual size of plant cell (onion root tip) is 75 micrometers and as for the animal

    cell (human glandular epithelium) is 25 micrometers. Both actual measurements were then

    converted to centimeters and dived by the Image size. Based on the experimenter’s measurement,

    the plant cell was measured at 1.5 centimeters with a calculated estimation of 200x

    magnification. The animal cell was measured at 1.3 centimeters with a calculated estimation of

    520x magnification.

    SOURCE OF ERROR:
    omit
    The experimenter had a hard time finding both cells, specifically that animal cell which took up

    some time. There were only little spots of pink from the specimen that were visible and no sight

    of organelles. Due to the experimenter being absentminded, the plant cell labeling was done in

    pen instead of pencil.

    LIMITATIONS:

    The microscope ocular lens (eyepiece designed to look through to see specimens on the slide)

    was showing parts of the specimen a bit blurry even though it was properly cleaned with slide

    paper and lens cleaning solution.

    CONCLUSION:

    The plant and animal were inspected under a microscope at the highest power by the

    experimenter. The process was a bit difficult, and the duration of the drawings, calculations and

    research was long. The experimenter was expecting a smoother process, but it turned out to be

    the opposite of what was anticipated. Before doing any labs, the experimenter would advise to

    read the rubric and procedures carefully before attempting to carry out the tasks.

    APPENDIX:

    Discussion Questions:

    • Distinguish the similarities and differences between animal and plant cells.

    • Are all the cell types and shapes the same in the observed specimen? Why or why not?

    • What organelles were large enough to be viewed within the cell using the microscope.

    • What is the actual size of the measured cell from the image given using your

    magnification calculations?
