An Interactive Journey Into the Cell
Science WebQuest
Go to Mrs. Carlson’s Moodle Page – Science Links
Open Cell Webquest 5/6 and use the hotlinks to reach your destination.
Use this packet to answer all questions. Be sure to follow all steps and
answer all the questions. Your answers should be complete with details
and information!
Go to:
http://askabiologist.asu.edu/research/buildingblocks/cellparts.html
Read the about “The Building Blocks of Life.”
1) How many different kinds of cells are in your body?
2) What parts of our bodies are made of dead cells?
3) What are five new things you learned from reading this page?
Go to:
http://www.wiley.com/legacy/college/boyer/0470003790/animations/cel
l_structure/cell_structure.htm
Click on “Animal Cell”
Read the text and follow the directions. (Click on each organelle and read
about what it does)
4) Name and define 3 of the organelles that you learned about.
a)
b)
c)
Click “continue” and answer the “Pop-up Questions.”
When you are finished, click on “Plant cell” and read the text.
5) Which organelle in the plant cell would mainly help the cell take in
water or get rid of water, just like the potato did? This is also known as
“osmosis.” How do you know that this organelle would help with that
process?
6) Which organelle, if empty, would cause the plant to wilt? Why is this?
7) Name an organelle that you see in the plant cell that you did not see in
the animal cell.
8) Why do you think an animal cell does not have the part that you name
in #6?
Go To:
http://www.cellsalive.com/cells/cell_model.htm and go to “Plant Cell”
first.
Click around the plant cell and look/read about some other organelles.
Then, click on the “Animal Cell.” Click on the different parts and read
about them.
9) Why is the rough endoplasmic reticulum so “rough?”
10) Think about your house or apartment. What part of your home would
be like the mitochondria of the cell? Why?
Go to the left column of the page and click on “Cell Biology”
Go to “How big?…”
Click on “Start the Animation”
11) How big is a blood cell? How does its size compare to Dust Mites, and
then to the E. coli bacteria?
Go to the left column of the page and click on “Mitosis.” Watch the
animation.
12) Which of the 8 characteristics of life is the cell doing here?
Go back to
http://www.wiley.com/legacy/college/boyer/0470003790/animations/cel
l_structure/cell_structure.htm
Click on “Construct a cell”
Construct an animal cell.
13) Name a part that does NOT BELONG in the animal cell (as you
figured out during construction)
14) Construct the plant cell next. Name a part that DOES BELONG here
but didn’t belong in one of the other 2 cells.

_is_Mitochondrial_Disease.htm
15) How is a person’s life affected by mitochondrial disease?
16) Go To:
http://www.cellsalive.com/cells/3dcell.htm
a. There are two types of cells.
PROKARYOTIC=
Eukaryotic= Plants and
b. What types of cells do YOU have (PROKARYOTIC or EUKARYOTIC)?
c. Which type of cell is more complex (complicated)?
d. Which type of cell is simpler?

What is a Cell?
a. All ____________ things are made up of _________. Each of us has
about 50 million cells - an enormous number which is difficult to imagine.
Each cell is a sort of bag made from a sort of skin called a
__________________. The inside of a cell is ____________ and
____________like. Cells are very ____________ - you can't see them
just using your eyes. You need to use a _________________, which
