Draw the portion of the specimens where it shows where their specialized structure is located and indicated and also show its specialized function. Specimens: Kalanchoe, cadena de amor, and suha.
Microscopic examination
The analysis of minute organisms, cellular organization of any biological structure, and composition of body fluids with the help of a microscope is known as microscopic examination. The magnification of specimens or samples under study helps in attaining a clearer picture of it.
Gram Staining
Named after Hans Christian Gram, a Danish bacteriologist, Gram stain is one of the most powerful staining techniques within microbiology. This technique was introduced in 1882 to identify pneumonia-causing organisms. The Gram staining technique uses crystal violet or methylene blue as primary staining colors to distinguish gram-positive from gram-negative organisms. Under a microscope, the gram-positive organisms appear purple-brown, retaining the primary color. Gram-negative organisms appear pink or red as they do not acquire the color of the primary stain.

Specimens: Kalanchoe, cadena de amor, and suha.
Kalanchoe
- Kalanchoe representing crassulacean acid plants (CAMP.) which are recognized as a photosynthetic pathway distinct from C3 and C4 plants.
- These plants are termed as succulent plants, characterized by thick stems and leaves modified for water and acid storage.
- Mesophyll cells of kalanchoe plants are not usually differentiated into palisade and spongy parenchyma.
- These tends to be less free air space between mesophyll cells of C3 and C4.
Antigonon leptopus
- This is a perennial tendril member of the buckwheat (Polygonaceae) family commonly found in tropical Asia, Africa, the Caribbean and the Americas.
- Its common names include cadena de amor, flores kadena, bride's tears, chain-of-love and confederate vine.
Pomelo
- It is the largest citrus fruit, with a very thick green to yellow rind and yellow to pink flesh.
- It is also called suha fruit in the Philippines.
- In the Chinese cuisine, the thick rind is oftener dried and used for flavoring or candied and used in desserts.
