This Elodea leaf cell exemplifies a typical plant cell. ... Like animal cells, the cytoplasm of this plant cell is bordered by a cell membrane. The membrane is so thin and transparent that you can't see it, but it is pressed against the inside of the cell wall.

Are organelles visible in Elodea?
Some plant cells have organelles called chloroplasts that make them green and able to capture energy from light. ... Chloroplasts and mitochondria move within Elodea leaf cells; nuclei are also visible as clear, fried-egg-shaped structures.
What one structure was seen in the plant cell Elodea that was not present in the onion cells?
The cellular structure that is found in Elodea leaf but not in onion bulb is chloroplast. The primary function of chloroplasts in plant cells is to assist in photosynthesis.
What organelle was easily seen in the Elodea leaf?
In Elodea, cyclosis is easy to observe because chloroplasts move with the cytoplasm as it flows. Light and heat stimulate cyclosis in Elodea. Tungsten or halogen substage microscope lamps produce both heat and light, so after 2–3 minutes, students should be able to observe the movement of chloroplasts.
Which of the following structures would be present only in Elodea and not in human cheek cells?
Elodea cells have a cell wall, a central vacuole, and chloroplasts, but cheek cells do not have these structures.
What microscopic structures make up organisms such as Elodea?
Cells are the units from which the Elodea leaf is made. Cells are filled with a fluid called cytoplasm. Cytoplasm can sometimes be seen moving inside the cells of living plants. The green balls moving in the cytoplasm are chloroplasts.
What structures are in Elodea cells?
This Elodea leaf cell exemplifies a typical plant cell. It has a nucleus, and a stiff cell wall which gives the cell its box-like shape. The numerous green chloroplasts allow the cell to make its own food (by photosynthesis). The central vacuole takes up most of the volume of the cell.
What 3 structures do Elodea cells have but are absent from animal epithelial cells?
Elodea cells have a cell wall, a central vacuole, and chloroplasts, but cheek cells do not have these structures. The structure in a cheek cell appearing darker by absorbing most of the stain is the _____.
Why are nuclei not visible within the cells viewed?
The cell or plasma membrane is present but is not visible because it is thin and in direct contact with the cell wall. A nucleus is present but difficult to see because this preparation is not stained and the chlorophyll masks other structures in the cell.
What structures are found only in the elodea or plant cell?
The elodea cell will have a central vacuole in addition to chloroplasts. Plant cells also have a cell wall which is not a structure found in animal cells.
What did you see in the elodea cells that you do not see in the onion cells what does this suggest about the functions of these cells?
What visible structures do the Elodea and the onion skin cells share? A cell wall, a nucleus, a cell membrane and a cytoplasm. What structures do the Elodea cells have that the red onion skin cells lack? They have chloroplasts because they need the chlorophyll to produce ATP energy from the sun (for food).
How would you describe the shape of the elodea leaf cell?
1. What is the shape of the typical Elodea cell? Rectangular shape.
Why do you see chloroplasts moving in elodea cells?
In the videos, the chloroplasts are seen moving through the cell because of a phenomenon called cytoplasmic streaming: the cytoplasm flows around the nucleus. It also flows around the vacuole (although the vacuole itself can't be seen in the videos).
Why do chloroplasts move in elodea?
Chloroplasts do move in a cell. Observing chloroplasts in movement in an elodea cell is like watching a busy, bustling mass of pedestrians from a building high above. ... The actual cause of the motion isn't yet clear, but it does alter with heat and light and is changed by increases and decreases in fluid content.
What structures do human epithelial cells have in common with elodea cells?
What structures do human epithelial cells have in common with elodea cells? They both have a cell membrane,nucleus and cytoplasm.
