Cellular Structure and Function
Cells contain many intricate structures inside their membranes. Many of these
structures serve specific purposes. These interconnected networks of structures inside
of a cell, known as the internal organelles, have to interact to ensure the cell’s ultimate
success and survival. There are several main functions that the cell has to carry out:
molecule transport, reproduction, and energy conversion.
Each group will be assigned a cell function to research and prepare a five-minute
presentation in order to teach the other groups about their function. Students will
rotate to each group in order to learn about each cell function.
Group 1 - Molecule Transport: Diffusion and Facilitated Diffusion
Group 2 - Molecule Transport: Endocytosis
Group 3 - Molecule Transport: Exocytosis
Group 4 - Molecule Transport: Osmosis
Group 5 - Reproduction: Meiosis
Group 6 - Reproduction: Mitosis
Group 7 - Energy Conversion: Cellular Respiration
Group 8 - Energy Conversion: Photosynthesis
Each group’s research information must include:
a. A clear description of the function
b. An explanation of any processes that take place, including any sequential steps or
stages
c. The importance of the function
d. A labeled diagram demonstrating any processes
e. An analysis of the implications of abnormal cell functions
Possible Presentation Ideas:
A. Google Slides presentation
B. Webpage
C. Video
If your group has a different idea, we can discuss if it would be acceptable.
