Your task
In this activity you will be given a number of photomicrographs of transport vessels.
For each photomicrograph:

1. Identify the vessel (or vessels).


2. Draw a labelled scientific diagram of what you can see of the
vessel (or vessels).
3. Calculate the magnification of the photomicrograph using the
scale bar.
4. Label the visible structures.
5. Write a paragraph explaining how that vessel is adapted for its
function.

See section A2.2.1 (/study/app/2025-ibdp-biology-slhl/sid-422-cid-208054/book/using-


microscopes-id-43573/) for a reminder of conventions when drawing images from
microscopes and for a reminder of how to calculate magnification.
