UNDERSTANDINGSTRUCTURE AND FUNCTION

This unit is designed to incorporate the use of Internet sites to investigate prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and to research the structure and function of cellular organelles.

CELLS

CELL ORGANELLES

What do they look like? What do they do?

TYPES OF CELLS

How are cells alike? How are cells different?

What are they?

Are there different types of cells?

• Living cells are divided into types based on internal complexity.

TYPES OF CELLS

Prokaryotic Eukaryotic

CELL ORGANELLES

Cell Membrane Cytoplasm Nuclear

Membrane Nucleus Nucleolus Chromosomes Mitochondria Centriole

Ribosomes Golgi Bodies Vacuoles Cytoskeleton

Endoplasmic Reticulum Lysosome

Many organelles can be found in both plantand animal cells.

Are there any

organelles not found

in all cells?

OPERATION ORGANELLE

YOUR MISSION: •Search and find the missing cellular organelles.•Once discovered, record their cellular mission. •Draw or copy/paste a picture of the organelle.
