Step One - Obtain a clean microscope slide.

Step Two - Place a drop of liquid on the slide. This is the “wet” part of the wet mount. The liquid used depends on the type of cell being viewed:
If examining a plant cell, tap water can be used.
If examining an animal cell, physiological saline (or contact lens solution) must be used, because if plain water is used, the cell will explode from osmotic pressure. Unlike plant cells and bacteria, animal cells have no cell wall to structurally support them.

Step Three - Obtain the specimen to be used. Some introductory biology classics for viewing include:
Skin of an onion bulb: In order to view the cells, a very thin layer of skin must be obtained. Take a single layer of onion and bend it towards the shiny side. After it snaps, pull gently, and a transparent layer of skin, similar to Scotch tape, will appear.
Elodea leaf: Elodea leaves are two cell layers thick. The cells in one layer are smaller than the cells in the other, so elodea leaves can be used to better understand a microscope's depth of field.
Cheek cells: Human epithelial cells can be obtained by gently rubbing a toothpick on the inside of the mouth, and then swirling the toothpick in the physiological saline on the slide.
Pond water: Obtaining some water from a pond makes wet mount preparation a breeze, since the water and the specimens are both included.

Your classmate has indicated that she wants to experiment with growing tomatoes hydroponically. She is planning to grow the plan
goblinko [34]

The hydroponic method involves growing the tomatoes in a nutrient solution which contains all of the essential elements.

The practise of growing plants without the need for soil is known as hydroponics. Flowers, herbs, and vegetables grown hydroponically are planted in inert growing material and are then given nutrient-rich solutions, oxygen, and water throughout the growing process. The use of this technique results in accelerated growth increased yields, and improved quality. When a plant is growing in soil, the roots of the plant are always looking for the nutrients it needs to survive in order to provide for the plant's needs. If the root system of a plant is provided with direct access to water and nutrients, the plant does not need to expend any energy in order to maintain its own life. It is possible to focus the energy that the plant's roots would have spent obtaining food and water toward the growth of the plant instead. As a direct consequence of this, the development of new leaves and the blossoming of fruits and flowers are both stimulated.
