Name: _____________________________ Due Date: ___________ Class Period: _______ CELLS ALIVE! 1. Go to my teacher website and click on the link to Cells Alive. http://www.cellsalive.com
2. Once the Cells Alive website is open, you will use the cell models to answer the questions and to label the cells.
3. Prior knowledge: What is the main difference between a prokaryotic and a eukaryotic cell?

Click on the “Take me to the animation” link above the cell model. Click on “Animal Cell.” Move your mouse around on the diagram of the cell diagram and the organelle name will appear in the window. When you are done with an organelle, click on “Return to Cell Diagram” (bottom of picture) and find the next organelle. Click on “Nucleus”: 1. What is the most obvious organelle in a eukaryotic cell?
2. What is the function of the nucleus of every cell?
3. What does every cell within the human body have the same of?
4. Why is a liver cell different from a muscle cell?
Click on “Mitochondria.” 5. What do mitochondria provide for the cell?
6. They are the “ _________________________________of the cell.”
Click on “Vacuoles.” 7. What is the role or function of vacuoles in animal cells?
8. What function do vacuoles have in plant cells?
Click on “Cell Membrane” 9. What is the function of the cell membrane?
10. What is the cell membrane made of?
11. Draw the lipid bilayer in the box. Label the hydrophilic heads
and hydrophobic tails in your drawing. 1
Part 2: Plant Cell Click on “PLANT CELL” at the bottom of the cell diagram. 1. What role does the water play in a plant cell vacuole?
Click on “Chloroplasts.” 2. What do chloroplasts contain and what color does this make them?
3. What do chloroplasts do for plant cells?
Click on “Cell Wall”. 4. What is the function of the cell wall?
5. What structures of a cell indicate that this is a plant cell, rather than an animal cell?
6. How does the cell wall and vacuole work together to give us crunchy vegetables?
Part 3: Label the organelle and their function for both the plant and animal cell (next 2 pages). Make sure these organelles are on your diagrams: Animal Cell Plant Cell Cell membrane Cell membrane Lysosomes Lysosomes Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Rough ER Rough ER Cytoplasm/cytosol Cytoplasm/cytosol Mitochondrion Mitochondrion Vacuole Vacuole Peroxisomes Peroxisomes Micro – filaments Micro – filaments Nucleus and nucleolus Nucleus and nucleolus Centrosomes Centrosomes Secretory vesicles Secretory vesicles Microtubules Cell Wall Golgi body Golgi body 2
