CELL SCAVENGER HUNT!! You have found the match for the NUCLEUS of a cell! The nucleus is a special operation center that controls most of the cell’s activities. This center also stores the DNA, which is the cell’s important genetic information. The office is the control center of a school. The key figures that help direct this control are the administrators and secretaries in the office. They are like the DNA. CODE FOR NUCLEUS: Y=1 O=2 CELL SCAVENGER HUNT!! You have found the match for the VACUOLE of a cell! The vacuole is a special storage chamber in the cell. In the storage chamber, things like food, water, and wastes are stored. In plant cells, the vacuole can get so large that it may take up over 90% of the cell’s volume. The storage room is similar in function to the vacuole. This is where the department stores important equipment for later use. This is also a place where the department can store toxic wastes for later disposal. CODE FOR VACUOLE: G=3 L=4 CELL SCAVENGER HUNT!! You have found the match for the MITOCHONDRIA of a cell! The mitochondria are organelles that specialize in making energy for the cell. It is often referred to as the “powerhouse of the cell”. The mitochondria take food particles and convert the food energy into ATP. ATP is a form of energy that cells can ultimately use. The cafeteria dining area is like the mitochondria. In the dining area, people of the school take in food and convert it into energy for other uses. The mitochondria is an organelle that allows an area for conversion of food into other usable fuel for the cell. CODE FOR MITOCHONDRIA: K=5 A=6 CELL SCAVENGER HUNT!! You have found the match for the CHLOROPLAST of a cell! The chloroplast is the part of a plant cell that allows it to make food. This is what makes plants green. The chloroplast takes sun energy and can convert it into a useable form of food. This form of food is glucose. The kitchen of the foods room is similar to the chloroplast of a cell. The kitchen is a place where food is made and prepared for consumption. The chloroplast is a place where food for the cell is made. CODE FOR CHLOROPLAST: M=7 H=8 CELL SCAVENGER HUNT!! You have found the match for the LYSOSOME of a cell! The lysosome is a small organelle that is for digestion of materials in the cell. The destroy invaders of the cell by digesting them away. They also destroy and dispose of used organelles that do not work anymore. The trash can acts as a comparison to the lysosome. Lysosomes are disposal agents of the cells, that ultimately help remove pieces of unnecessary material from a cell. Trash cans are also disposal areas for a school. Items are placed in them and then eventually destroyed and removed from the school. CODE FOR LYSOSOME: D=9 I = 10 CELL SCAVENGER HUNT!! You have found the match for the CYTOSKELETON of a cell! The cytoskeleton is the strands of protein that help the cell maintain its shape and size. Without the cytoskeleton, the cell might be more collapsed. The proteins of the cytoskeleton help keep the cell firm and full. The support beams of the school building act like the cytoskeleton. These keep the school structure standing as it is. Without these beams, the ceiling would fall in and the structure of the school would be destroyed. CODE FOR CYTOSKELETON: N = 11 V = 12 CELL SCAVENGER HUNT!! You have found the match for the DNA of a cell! The DNA of the cell is the genetic blueprint of how the entire cell and organism is made. This gives the directions on where materials should be in the cell. It also tells you how things are run in the cell and what the end products should look like. The DNA is like the secretaries of the school. If anyone has all the information on how the school is to be run, it is the secretaries! They are the greatest storehouse of information on school procedures and directions. They are also inside the office (the nucleus). CODE FOR DNA: T = 13 S = 14 CELL SCAVENGER HUNT!! You have found the match for the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM (ER) of a cell! The ER is a long system of tubes and sacs. It acts as a “highway” for the cell. Materials made or processed in one part of the cell are transported to new parts of the cell on the ER. The school hallways act like the ER. These are the parts of the school that help connect different parts of the school to each other. They “transport” students from class to class (sometimes!). CODE FOR ER: C = 15 P = 16 CELL SCAVENGER HUNT!! You have found the match for the CELL MEMBRANE of a cell! The cell membrane is an organelle that selectively allows certain molecules in and out of the cell. It acts as a barrier for some items. It also acts as a means to push other items into the cell. The front check-in desk acts like the cell membrane. The people who work at the check-in desk allow certain people in and out of the school. They are selective in who can be within the cell, much as the cell membrane is selective as to which molecules can be in the cell.. CODE FOR CELL MEMBRANE: E = 17 CELL SCAVENGER HUNT!! You have found the match for the CELL WALL of a cell! The cell wall is an organelle only found in plant cells. It is what gives the plant cell such a rigid and definite shape. It protects the cell from outside influences. It can also allow certain items in and out of the cell. The school doors and walls are like the cell wall. The walls give the school its definite shape. They also protect the school from outside elements. Lastly, the doors allow passage of some items in and out of the school. CODE FOR CELL WALL: B = 18 CELL SCAVENGER HUNT!! You have found the match for the RIBOSOME of a cell! The ribosome is an organelle that allows proteins to be assembled. It acts like a small workbench for the cell to make proteins on. Proteins are vitally important to making the whole human body. So, these are the mini-factories that put the pieces together into something useable. The shop acts like the ribosome of the school. In shop, you assemble pieces together to make larger, functioning items. The ribosome is also an assembly location in the cell. CODE FOR RIBOSOME: U = 19 CELL SCAVENGER HUNT!! You have found the match for the GOLGI APPARATUS of a cell! The golgi apparatus is a packaging and distribution center for the cell. If items need to be modified and shipped out to other portions of the cell, the golgi deals with it. It accepts newly made compounds, packages them up, and then sends them out to places within the cell or out of the cell. It is like the post office of the cell. The copy center is similar in function to the golgi. The copy center receives all copy requests for the Hopkins School District. Here, the copy center modifies them and packages the materials up. Ultimately, the items then get shipped back out to other parts of the district. CODE FOR GOLGI: R = 20
