B. Animal Cells: You will be looking at a prepared slide of epithelial cells and microorganisms from the

cheek tissue inside the mouth. Under the microscope, these cells look a bit like fried eggs. The cells on

this slide have been stained, and you will see that some parts of the cells stain more strongly than other

parts. Examine this sample with your microscope, starting at the lowest magnification and working up to

the highest.

i. Create a detailed, neatly drawn sketch of 2 to 3 cells, labelling key features of these cells. Be sure to

include a figure caption (see Appendix C). Use the ocular micrometer on your microscope to measure

the length of two of the cheek cells that you chose to draw and record those two length values in your

figure caption and on the class spreadsheet.

ii. Now, describe those features that make it clear what type of cell you are looking at. That is, how do
