Essential Question:
Is the Whole the Sum of its Parts?
Chapter #3- A Tour of the Cell
Introduction: In this chapter you will be exploring the branch of biology called CYTOLOGY- the study
of cells and their functions. To prepare for a discussion on this material as well as the laboratory
experiments that we will perform, the following exercises must be completed by the first day of your
return to school after the vacation. No extended time will be provided.
Assignments:

Read Chapter #3- Section 3-2 & 3-3 (Pages 58-66)

Why do you think that its’ important to study cells in biology?
What contribution did Robert Hooke make to the field of cytology?
State the three important parts of the CELL THEORY.
Construct a Venn diagram showing the structural similarities & differences between an ANIMAL
& a PLANT CELL.
6. Construct a Venn diagram showing the similarities and differences between a PROKARYOTIC
& a EUKARYOTIC CELL.
7. Are the cells in your body prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
8. What organisms are prokaryotes?
 Complete the “Plant & Animal Cell” exercise included in this packet.
Here are some internet sites that you can use in addition to the text.
www.delicious.com/finnegan14 - Scroll through each page and you’ll find great sites with the title of cells in them.
These can be of great help if you’re having difficulty.
www.youtube.com- Type in Bozeman- the cell. These are fabulous tutorials.
www.khanacademy.com – Scroll through the various topics under Biology and find units on the cell.
www.cellsalive.com – Click on Cell Biology and then Cell Models – it will show you both the parts and their
functions
