Question

introduction
→ annotate the purpose of the lab by circling words that you think are the most important.
→ in this lab, you will compare two different types of cells: plant cells and animal cells. plant and animal cells are both types of eukaryotic cells. unlike prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells contain organelles such as the nucleus. these organelles act much like organs in the human body. a brain controls a humans actions; a nucleus coordinates the actions of a cell. in this lab, you will observe onion cells (plant) and cheek cells (animal) and attempt to determine what they have in common and what they do not.
experimental question
→ how are plant and animal cells alike? how are they different?
hypothesis
a good hypothesis has this format and punctuation: if _, then _ because _. however, because we are mainly making observations in this lab, your hypothesis can be formatted as follows: one difference between plant and animal cells will be...
→ one difference between plant and animal cells will be

materials
red onion
iodine in a dropper bottle (1 per group)
prepared slides: white blood cells (1 per group)
empty slides (1 per group)
slide cover slips (1 per group)
tweezers (1 per group)
microscope (1 per group)
procedure
→ what part of the procedure do you think is going to be the most difficult; annotate with an arrow that points to the step. what part of the procedure do you think is going to take the most time; annotate by circling the steps number.
part 1: plant cells

Explanation:

Plant and animal cells are eukaryotic. One key difference is that plant cells have a cell - wall which provides structure and protection, while animal cells do not. This is a common and fundamental distinction in cell biology.

Answer:

One difference between plant and animal cells will be that plant cells have a cell - wall and animal cells do not.
