Cell Organelle Web Quest
PART 1:
Go to the interactive cell model at
http://www.cellsalive.com/cells/cell_model_js.htm. Click and explore each
organelle to answer the following questions.
1. What does the nucleus contain?
2. What purpose does the cytosol serve?
3. What does the Golgi apparatus do?
4. What is the function of a lysosome?
5. What are some of the functions of the cell membrane?
6. What is the function of the mitochondria?
7. What do vacuoles do in animal cells?
8. What is the difference between smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum
(ER)?
9. What do ribosomes do?
10. Microtubules are part of the cytoskeleton. What is the function of the
cytoskeleton?
PART 2:
Now use the interactive cells to help you color your cell diagram.
