Here are the steps the student should follow to investigate the cellular structure of an onion plant:
**Step** | **Description**
--- | ---
1 | Obtain a fresh onion and carefully peel off a thin layer of the inner flesh.
2 | Place the thin layer of onion skin on a glass microscope slide.
3 | Add a few drops of iodide solution (iodine) to the onion skin to stain the cells, which helps to visualize them better under the microscope.
4 | Cover the onion skin with a coverslip to avoid air bubbles and protect the sample.
5 | Observe the slide under a microscope at low and then high power to identify and examine the individual cells in the onion tissue.
These steps will provide visual evidence that the onion is made up of cells.
