What do animal cells look like under the microscope?

Animal Cells are much more rounder  than a plant cell, it is more spread out and its a lot more smaller then  your average plant cell, when your onion cell is stuck together and it is long and it is really difficult to find dots in the middle while the animal cell looks visible that you can see the dot in the middle.

 

What cell structures are visible? What do plant cells look like under the microscope? What cell structures are visible?

 You can see the nucleus in the middle of a cell and the cytoplasm that is surrounding the outside of the cell. The cell membrane that outlines the cytoplasm that surrounds the nucleus and a Nucleus Membrane that outlined the outside of a Nucleus inside of the cytoplasm

 How can you tell plant cells and animal cells apart (if you only see them under the microscope)? We used methylene blue in the animal cell.

a animal cell has to a greater degree a hover shape than a plant cell. I know since when we looked at our two pictures. I quickly could tell that it was a plant cell because I can see it doesn’t have a major Vacuole, it is considerably littler than your common plant cell, and that it was not stuck together as much as a plant cell.

We used Methane Blue Why was it important to treat animal cells with this compound? 

so we could see the cells in the animal cell more clearly

Why didn’t we use it on the plant cells?

Because we need the Methane Blue chemical to see the cells, if we used it on  plant cells it could possibly destroy the cell.
