Transcript
CellsAlive.com Webquest In this activity, you will be expected to visit the website “cellsalive.com” in order to answer the questions that follow. a) b) c) d) e) Click on this hyperlink: www.cellsalive.com On the menu on the left, select “Cell Models” under “Interactive” Click on the picture of a cell. Select Animal Cell on the bottom of the screen. Click on one organelle to receive information about it. Select “Return to Cell Diagram” in the lower right hand corner of the animation window when you are ready to learn about another organelle. f) Read and answer the questions below. 1) As you proceed throughout this activity, attach a simple cell picture from the website that includes all of the organelles that you are studying. 2) Describe the nucleus. Be sure to include its function, location, etc. 3) What does the nucleolus do? 4) Describe the ER. 5) What types of ER are commonly found in cells? 6) What is the function of centrioles? 7) What is the function of the Golgi Apparatus? 8) The cytoskeleton acts much like your body’s skeleton by giving the cell shape and support. What other roles does the cytoskeleton play? 9) The cytoplasm has two main functions. What are they? 10) Describe the functions of the cell membrane. 11) Why are mitochondria nicknamed the “power houses” of the cell? (Describe them) 12) How are secretory vesicles, lysosomes, and peroxisomes similar? 13) How do they (from #12) differ? 14) What is the function of vacuoles in plants and in animals? 15) What are the two organelles found in plants, not in animal cells? 16) Describe the two organelles from question #15?
