    This document outlines the procedures and objectives for a biology lab exercise on plant cells. The exercise involves observing plant tissues under the microscope and identifying various cell structures, including: 1. Hairs, chloroplasts, and chromoplasts in various plant materials like squash, hydrilla, tomato skin and pulp, carrot pulp, and flowers. 2. Starch grains and crystals in potato, bean, corn, rice, banana, and other plant specimens. Different crystal types like druse, raphide, styloid, prismatic, and cystolith will be observed. 3. Questions about cell structures, chloroplast movement, pigments, and the significance of crystals will also be answered.

    The document discusses the structures and functions of different organelles in plant cells including plastids, ergastic substances, and crystals based on observations from a biology lab.

    The document discusses different types of plastids (chloroplasts, chromoplasts) found in various plant tissues and their functions in photosynthesis and pigment storage.

    The document lists examples of ergastic substances (starch grains) found in potato, bean, corn, rice, and banana cells and their locations within the cells.
