List the steps of preparation of temporary mount of a leaf peel to observe stomata.


The following are the steps of preparation of temporary amount of a leaf peel to observe stomata.
(i) Remove a healthy leaf from the potted plant.
(ii) Remove a part of the peel from the lower surface of the leaf by folding the leaf over and gently pulling the peel apart using forceps.
(iii) Put a few drops of safranin stain in a watch glass.
(iv) After 2-3 minutes take out the peel and place it on a clean glass slide.
(v) Put a drop of glycerin over the peel and place a clean coverslip gently over it.
(vi) Remove the excess stain and glycerin with the help of blotting paper.
(vii) Observe the slide under the low-power and high-power magnifications of the compound microscope.

The values of current (I) flowing through a given resistor of resistance (R), for the corresponding values of potential difference (V) across the resistor are as given below:

V (volts) 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 4.0 5.0
1 (amperes) 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.8 1.0

Plot a graph between current (I) and Potential difference (V) and determine the resistance (R) of the resistor.
