The document instructs the reader to carefully sketch two neighboring pepper cells over four minutes, making sure to first sharpen a dull pencil. While sketching, the reader must rotate the fine focus knob clockwise and counterclockwise to better observe details. The document then asks two questions about whether the plasma membrane lines plasmodesmata and if plasmodesmata allow water to pass between cells without crossing a plasma membrane.

1. 7 , 8 , 9 ) Sketch two neighboring pepper cells very carefully. This sketch takes four minutes.
You must first sharpen your pencil if it is dull. While you are observing you must carefully rotate
the fine focus knob clockwise and then counterclockwise. We rotate the fine focus know while
we are making observations that allow the sketch. 10) Does the plasma membrane line the
surface/walls of plasmodesmata? 11) Do plasmodesmata allow water to pass from cell to cell
without crossing a plasma membrane?
