EXPERIMENT: INITIATION OF CALLUS AND CELL SUSPENSION IN SELECTED PLANTS
Please make a general introduction paragraph about this experiment.
(a) Describe the role of mitosis in the growth of a plant.
(b) Explain why there are more cells observed in mitosis in the root tip
than in the woody stem.
2. a) As part of an experiment you are required to observe the external features of a fern.
State what microscope would you use and give reasons why?
b) You have been provided with a plant showing the rooting system and the stem with several leaves.
Give SIX features that you will look for to determine whether this is a monocotyledonous plant or a
dicotyledonous plant. Present your answer in a clear, logical manner.
c) In an experiment students were given the following materials and apparatus:
- juices from three local fruits; 4% glucose solution; Benedict's solution; test tubes,
beakers, syringes and boiling water bath.
Describe CLEARLY the procedure that can be used to estimate the amount of glucose
present in each juice. Use numbered steps in your answer.
