In this lesson, students will investigate leaves up close to look for the structures responsible for gas exchange. Objectives. In this activity, students will: observe the structures that make up the surface of a leaf. find the pores, called stomata, that let gasses in/out of a leaf.
To prepare a temporary mount of a peel of a leaf in order to display the stomata of the leaf. Stomata is a tiny pore where gas exchange takes place, located on the under-surface of leaves.
ere photosynthesis occurs. This method describes how to prepare a peel of the leaf epidermis for microscopic observation of the epidermal cells, guard cells and leaf. irs if they are present. Plants vary in the shape of epidermal cells and size and number o.
Ask students, "what do you think the surface of a leaf will look like, when you look at it with a microscope?" Have them examine leaves up close and brainstorm where they think most of the carbon dioxide will enter the leaf.
How To View Stomata Under The Microscope. Viewing stomata is a fun one-day lab during your photosynthesis or plant unit. The first time I had students do this lab, I got out razor blades (I know) and tried to have students cut off thin slices of the leaf.
Which one of the following is the correct method of obtaining a leaf peel for observing stomata? (a) Crack the leaf and pluck the peel. (b) Take a leaf and with blade make thin sections. (c) Use needle and forcep to pluck a thin layer of leaf. (d) Break the leaf and remove the projections of epidermal layer. Question 10:
