3 Amigos Science the Cell Project

 

Introduction

Understanding how cells work is an important component to understanding all living things, There are prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells.  Prokaryotes are evolutionarily far older and less sophisticated than eukaryotes. 

Prokaryotes don't have a true nucleus.

Plant cells and Animals cells are two major types of eukaryotic cells Eukaryotic Cell

     Eukaryotic cells are cells that have little structures inside that carry out various functions. These little structures are called organelles

Cells in your body are eukaryotic and are similar but depending on their function will have some significant differences as well. 

 

 

 

 

Cells that compose the epidermis are similar to the cells that make up muscles, but they have different functions and therefore have different structures that help them to perform their important function

Cells that compose a leaf of a plant are similar but are also different to those cells that make up a root or stem, yet they are all plant cells and have similar structures.

Project. Cell Model & Organelle Identification of Structure and Function

     REQUIREMENTS:

 1.  Students will create a three dimensional cell model (either plant or animal) using materials that are provided or use materials that they provide themselves. The model will include each of the organelles in an appropriate/approximate shape and detail to identify the structure.

 2.  Students will create a key that identifies each structure in the model

3.  Students will include in their model the following structures/organelles: (ANIMAL CELL) Nucleus, Nucleolus, Chromosomes, Plasma Membrane, Mitochondriom, Golgi Bodies, Centrioles, Vacuoles, Lysosome, Endoplasmic Reticulum rough, Endoplasmic Reticulum smooth,  (PLANT CELL) Nucleus, Nucleolus, Plasma Membrane, Cell Wall, Central Vacuole, Golgi Bodies, Endoplasmic Reticulum rough, Endoplasmic Reticulum smooth, Lysosome, Chloroplast, Chlorophyll, Mitochondria, Peroxisome 

4   Students will have a separate sheet of paper hand written not typed that explains each organelle's structure and function.

Not all cells in a animals will have the same concentration of organells
