To make five beautiful, accurate, detailed, labeled drawings of various plant parts. Although only five are required, you are obviously required to know about all of this stuff.
Instructions:
- Use prepared slides, and a compound microscope on LOW POWER (40X magnification).
- Use diagrams from your notes or the links below to identify particular cell types and structures.
