there was also question about the penicilin
Mode of action: prevents cross links from developing
Then I wrote that peptidoglycan is not on the external surface and the outer layer prevented it from reaching inside and there are no transport proteins for its transport

What important points do we need to remember for practicals? Is knowing the position of xylem and phloem and knowing the procedures enough ??

Hello all. Here are some websites that I found useful for the histology part of paper 3.

respiratory system:
https://www.histology.leeds.ac.uk/respiratory/conducting.php
medcell.med.yale.edu/histology/respiratory_system_lab.php (scroll down to the 'slides' section
blood:
https://www.histology.leeds.ac.uk/blood/blood_wbc.php
plants(has other stuff too, but it is plant micrographs that are relevant):
http://www.sttss.edu.hk/biology/photomicrograph/bio photo.htm

I'm posting this based off of the following points in the sullabus:
-observe and draw plan diagrams of the structure of the walls of the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli indicating the distribution of cartilage, ciliated epithelium, goblet cells, smooth muscle, squamous epithelium and blood vessels

-observe and draw the structure of red blood cells, monocytes, neutrophils and lymphocytes using prepared slides and photomicrograph

-make annotated drawings, using prepared slides of cross-sections, to show how leaves of xerophytic plants are adapted to reduce water loss by transpiration

-draw and label from prepared slides the structure of xylem vessel elements, phloem sieve tube elements and companion cells and be able to recognise these using the light microscope

-draw and label from prepared slides the cells in the different tissues in roots, stems and leaves of herbaceous dicotyledonous plants using transverse and longitudinal sections

-draw and label from prepared slides plan diagrams of transverse sections of stems, roots and leaves of herbaceous dicotyledonous plants using an eyepiece graticule to show tissues in correct proportions (see 1.1c)

-observe and draw the mitotic stages visible in temporary root tip squash preparations and in prepared slides of root tips of species such as those of Vicia faba and Allium cepa
