Plants: The Inside Story

ì Select a representative section of cells on the image to diagram. Use
the ¤ or › tool to draw a selection line around those cells, as shown
in the margin. Your boundary line will be as fat as the line selected by
the flÔ tool.
ì Mark the boundary of your selection on both the image and the
diagram window by choosing Outline Both? Yes/No in the Special
menu, and then choose Special/Outline. Check your boundary
on both windows.
ì If you don’t want your diagram to show on the image, choose Special/Outline
Both? Yes/No again and click OK.
Now you will outline the cells in your diagram with the six colors reserved at
the bottom of the LUT. Choose a different color for the cells in each tissue type.
ì To outline the cells in one tissue type with a color, use the following
steps:
(1) Activate the LUT by clicking the top of the LUT window. Choose
a color from the bottom of the LUT by placing your cursor on the
color you want to draw with (it will become a Ï) and click. The
color will show in the ‰.
(2) Use the fi tool to draw an outline around the edge of a cell in the
tissue you are diagramming. If you make a mistake, click outside
the selection and start over.
(3) Outline the cell on the diagram window by selecting Special/
Outline (or just type an “O”). View your diagrammed cell on the
diagram window by moving to slice 2/2 with the > key.
(4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each cell in the tissue you are diagramming.
ì Outline the cells of another tissue type using a different color. Continue
this process for each tissue type. When you have outlined all the
cells in your selection area, have another student or your teacher
review your work.
ì Use the Ë tool and Ç tool for labeling each of the following tissues
on your diagram: upper epidermis, lower epidermis, palisade layer,
spongy layer, air spaces, stomata, xylem and phloem.
3. Print your diagram of plant anatomy from the diagram window (slice
2/2). Attach it to your Data Sheet. If you don’t have access to a printer,
show your diagram to your teacher.
4. Using your diagram and your texbook, describe the structure and function
of each tissue in the leaf. How does the size, shape, and arrangement
of cells in each tissue relate to its function? Write your answers in the
table on your Data Sheet.

Tip: Use the ÿ tool to magnify
the cells to make outlining
easier. æ-click on the image
or double-click the ÿ tool to
reverse magnification.
