Collect the roots of all the plants (10 pieces) in the greenhouse.
Which one is the Ipomoea one?
Maybe mom's book ( On the greenhouse table. )
could help you identify the correct root.
Read the notes on Ipomoea root.
On the greenhouse table.
What were the notes about Ipomoea root?
Ipomoea root has three characteristics:
It's a round shaped root.
Once the root is placed under a UV light, it emits and orange color.
If a slice of the root is inspected under a microscope, its cross-sections has a specific pattern.
How can I identify the root?
Use the mini lab in the greenhouse. You should load the boxes on the left with the specimens. Then you can examine them one by one for the three characteristics to find the Iponomea root.
Tell me more about the mini lab
For each root you need to examine three characteristics:
It's shape ( Look at the root in its box. Cisco will tell you if it is round or not. )
How to root acts under UV light. ( Turn on the ligth and put the root on the labware tray. Then look at it. Cisco will tell if it is orange or not. )
Examine a slice of the root. ( Take the scalpel and click on a root in the box. The slice will appear on the smaller box. Move a slice on the microscope. Cisco will tell if the pattern matches Ipomoea root. )
When you know that a root is not Ipomoea, you can mark it with the orange X button. You should be only left with one root that matches all the characteristics.
Put the Ipomoea root into the mojo bag.

Cisco won't accept the only root
You should Look at the root in the box. Then look it when it is under the UV light. And also put the slice into the microscope. Remember to look at the root.
