Cell Structure & Function
Using your textbook, fill in the ‘function column’ on your chart above. In class on day two, visit the Amazing Cells Website:
http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/begin/cells/. Click on the ‘Inside a Cell’ link. Go through each of the cell parts on your list and check your
work. Add to your responses. You may also use this site to include a small picture or diagram of each specialized cell part. Quiz yourself on the
organelles using the interactive site. Be sure to visit both plant and animal cells.
Cell Sizes & Scale
Visit the website: http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/begin/cells/. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on ‘cell size and scale’.

In your journal, list the following items in order from
to smallest: Amoeba, coffee bean, E. coli bacteria, carbon atom, grain of rice,
glucose (sugar) molecule, human egg, human sperm, HIV virus, influenza virus, lysosome, mitochondria, measles virus, red blood cell, ribosome,
sesame seed, skin cell, water molecule, oxygen molecule.
Prokaryote & Eukaryotic Cells (Section 7-1 of textbook)
Compare and contrast characteristics and examples of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells using a Venn diagram (here or on separate journal page).
