Product Information

Using live (very fresh) celery, students observe mitochondria microscopically, both as cytoplasmic particles and as centers of enzyme activity.

Students prepare their own celery slides which they stain using Janus green B stain, which acts as a hydrogen acceptor.

This allows them to "observe" mitochondria oxidizing food mainly by the removal of hydrogen, which is indicated by the stain's gradual loss of color. This lab requires a microscope (not included).

Includes: 3 drop controlled btls. each sucrose solution, Janus green B stain, and sodium bisulfate solution; 30 microscope slides, 30 cover slips; 30 single edged razor blades; 1 pkg. absorbent paper; 1 pkg. plastic toothpicks; 30 student worksheets and guides; 1 instruction manual with MSDS.
