CELL
BIOLOGY
1. The
fundamental life processes of plants and animals depend on a variety of
chemical reactions that occur in specialized areas of the organism’s cells. As
a basis for understanding this concept:
c.
Students know how prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells (including those
from plants and animals), differ in complexity and general structure.
TASKS:
1. Know the difference and similarities between
prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
2. Prokaryotic cells:
a. Be able to draw and label the parts of a
prokaryote cell
b. Identify the parts of a prokaryotic cell
and know their functions
c. Give examples of prokaryotic cells
3. Eukaryotic cells:
a. Be able to draw and label the parts of an
ANIMAL eukaryote cell
i. Identify the organelles of an ANIMAL
eukaryote cell
ii. Give examples of animal eukaryote cells
b. Be able to draw and label the parts of a
PLANT eukaryote cell
i. Identify the organelles of an PLANT
eukaryote cell
ii. Give examples of plant eukaryote cells
TIME FRAME: Three days
MATERIALS: Your textbook, Internet access, paper,
writing tools, color pencils
INTRODUCTION:
Look at your hand (yes, LOOK at your
hand). Now, touch it (yes, TOUCH your hand). DO IT. Feel the skin under your
fingers… Have you EVER wonder…
1.
What
is the material that makes up my skin called?
2.
What
is it made up of?
3.
Why does
it hurt or bleed when it is injured?
4.
Why
does it heal and how does it happen?
5.
How
do I grow? How did I become the person I am today from the embryo that grew up
inside my mother’s womb?
The answers to all these questions: CELLS
1.
CELLS
are the smallest units of LIFE that make up living things.
2.
ALL
living things are made up of cells
3.
UNICELLULULAR
organisms: 1 cell only
4.
MULTICELLULAR
organisms: more than 1 cell
There are two
main types of cells: prokaryotes (very primitive and simple) and eukaryote
(more modern and complex).
Your task is to
develop an understanding of each one of these two types of cells J
PRESENTATION
NOTE
Students,
you MUST follow my already discussed presentation guidelines when turning in
your work. I will not grade any work that does not follow my guidelines.
Remember, “I have bad handwriting” is no excuse for poor presentation.
PROKARYOTES
versus EUKARYOTES
1.
What
does “Karyose” mean and how does it relate to PROKARYOTE and EUKARYOTE (give me
their definitions)?
2.
What
is one very important difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
3.
LIST
5 similarities between prokaryotes and eukaryotes
4.
LIST
5 things that are different between prokaryotes and eukaryotes
PROKARYOTES
1.
Use
one of these sites (or other of your choice) to DRAW and LABEL a prokaryote
cell:
a.
Label
the following: capsule, cell wall, cytoplasm, NUCLEOID (they don’t have
nucleus), plasma membrane, ribosomes, flagella, pili,
b.
LIST
their names and write their functions (what do they do?): capsule, cell wall,
cytoplasm, plasma membrane, ribosomes, flagella, pili,
2.
Give
me an example of a prokaryote cell (look in your book or Internet)
3.
Make
the drawing half the paper and use rulers to label it.
EUKARYOTES (ANIMAL CELLS)
1.
Use
one of these sites (or other of your choice) to DRAW and LABEL an animal eukaryote
cell:
a.
Label
the following: plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, nucleolus, rough endoplasmic
reticulum, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus (complex), ribosomes,
mitochondrion
b.
LIST
and write their functions (9 total)
EUKARYOTES (PLANT CELLS)
1.
Use
one of these sites (or other of your choice) to DRAW and LABEL a plant
eukaryote cell:
a.
Label
the following: plasma membrane, cell wall cytoplasm, nucleus, nucleolus, rough
endoplasmic reticulum, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus (complex),
ribosomes, mitochondrion, chloroplast, vacuole.
b.
Which
3 organelles are present in plant cells but not in animal cells? LIST them and
write down their function.
