1. In which preparation can you see the most detail? 2. Which preparation best describes how Elodea normally lives? 3. Under the same magnification, are the cells in the two different preparations of the same size? Explain any differences.

Elodea is a type of plant. Imagine that you placed 3 elodea cells into 3 different solutions and then viewed the cells under a microscope. The images below are what you saw. What type of solution was the cell in the MIDDLE placed into? (diagram below) A. Hypertonic solution B. Hypotonic solution C. Isotonic solution

2. Elodea: Focus on the chloroplasts and the plasma membrane within the cell: describe what happened to the chloroplasts when the salt solution was applied to the Elodea cells and explain what happened in terms of osmosis. What happened to the chloroplasts when the fresh water was placed on the cells? What differences in the appearance of the cell are evident? What has caused these differences?
Using your understanding of plant cell structure, explain what you are seeing in the difference between Elodea cells placed in pond water compared with cells that have been submerged in 5% NaCl. 2. Briefly explain how kinetic energy contributes to Brownian motion (the visible or measurable physical movement of all molecules and compounds), and how this helps explain diffusion and osmosis.
