Part II
In this section of the Web Quest you will go into the cell and take a closer
look at the various structures that carry out the functions and life activities
of cells. Click on the hyperlink below or type the URL into the search bar.

To activate this page, click on the picture. You should now be able to
navigate freely throughout the cell. When you “mouse over” a numbered
structure the name of that structure will appear. Click on the name and you
will be linked to a brief description of the ORGANELLE and its function.
When you are finished reading about the structure and function of the
organelle, click on the Explore more to navigate back to the cell.
Next go to: http://www.cellsalive.com/cells/3dcell.htm
From the Cell Models page, click on the links for plant and animal cells
explore the interactive feature by dragging your mouse over the cells.
Draw a representation below and label the diagram depicted on the website.
You may complete the picture electronically or draw and insert the picture.
Timeline
 On another sheet of paper, or using Google docs, word etc. draw a
timeline showing the chronological order of these scientists and
their contributions to the Cell Theory.
 Use rulers & colored pencils
 Be sure your spacing shows a reasonable approximation of the
amount of time elapsed between dates. (ex. If 1 inch = 50 years,
then ! inch = 25 years)
 The earliest date should be on the left of the timeline and the most
recent date on the right.
 Label the timeline with dates of the above scientists' discoveries.
 Label each date with the corresponding scientist's name and
contribution(s) in an organized and legible manner.

You are a member of the Nobel Prize Committee and must decide
which scientist is most worthy of the Nobel Prize. It is your job to
research the scientists that are nominated and decide which one is most
deserving of this year’s most prestigious award. Each of these scientists
has contributed to the development of cell theory in some way. Next to
each scientist you will find links to information about what they have
contributed. Use this information to help make your decision about who
should receive this year’s Nobel Prize. The write at least a paragraph in
order to persuade the other committee members why your choice is most
deserving.
