PLANT AND ANIMAL TISSUE ACTIVITY

Introduction:
Plants are typically made up of roots, stems, and leaves. Plant tissues can be broadly categorized into
dividing, meristematic tissue or non-dividing, permanent tissue. Permanent tissue is made up of simple and
complex tissues.

Animal tissue is a group of connected cells that have a similar function within an organism. There
are four basic types of tissue in the body of all animals, including the human body. This makeup all the
organs, structures and other contents of the body

In this lab, we will become familiar with the main types of plant cells and tissues. You'll look at cells
in the ground tissue, dermal tissue, and vascular tissue. The vascular plant sporophyte is usually composed
of three kinds of vegetative organs: stems, leaves, and roots.

Materials needed:
Microscope slide Laboratory gown
Cover slip Compound microscope
Gloves Pig’s skin
Mask Celery stalk
Cutter Dissecting Pan

PLANT TISSUE ACTIVITY:

1. Wash the celery stalk for 2-3 minutes
2. Using a cutter, cut a very slim piece of it (cross section).
3. Drop methylene blue on the cross section of celery stalk by using dropper.
4. Wait about 2 minutes. But don’t forget it shouldn’t be more than 2-3 minutes.
5. Then cover the microscope slide with cover slip and place it under the microscope.
6. Set the objective correctly.
7. Observe the cross section of the celery by using microscope.

3. Drop methylene blue on the cross section of the pig’s skin by using dropper.
4. Wait about 2 minutes. But don’t forget it shouldn’t be more than 2-3 minutes.
5. Then cover the microscope slide with cover slip and place it under the microscope.
6. Set the objective correctly.
7. Observe the cross section of the celery by using microscope.

PIG’S SKIN:

40x 100x 400x
