Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of putting iodine solution on the onion peel?

  • To remove impurities from the peel
  • To stain the cells and make the cell structures more visible (correct)
  • To change the color of the peel for better contrast
  • To soften the peel for easier observation
  • What would be observed if the iodine solution was not applied to the onion peel?

  • The color of the peel would change
  • The cells would become more rigid
  • The cell structures would be less visible (correct)
  • The cell structures would be more distinct
  • Do all cells in the onion peel get evenly colored when iodine solution is applied?

  • No, different regions of cells get colored differentially (correct)
  • Yes, all cells get evenly colored
  • No, only the outer layer of cells get colored
  • Yes, but only if the peel is left for a longer time

    Study Notes

    Iodine Solution and Onion Peel

    • Iodine solution is used to stain the cells of the onion peel, making its cellular structures visible.
    • Without iodine solution, the cellular structures of the onion peel would not be visible.
    • Not all cells in the onion peel get evenly colored when iodine solution is applied, implying varying levels of starch presence.

    Alternative Staining Solution

    • Apart from iodine solution, other solutions can be used to stain the cells of the onion peel.

    Nuclear Membrane Function

    • The nuclear membrane, a double membrane structure, regulates the movement of molecules in and out of the nucleus.
