Cells Alive- Internet Lesson Name _______________________ Block ____ URL: www.cellsalive.com Objective: You will look at computer models of cells, learn the functions and the descriptions of the cells and their components. Navigating the site: Cells alive has a navigation bar at the left. After accessing the page, click on CELL BIOLOGY on the left side navigation bar. From here, you will access the links: "How Big is a..", the animal cell model, the plant cell model, and the bacterial cell model. Part A. "HOW BIG IS A...." Here you will look at objects found on the head of a pin. Your job is to rank them in order of size on the chart below and estimate the length of each (in nanometers, micrometers, or millimeters). The line in the bottom right corner of the screen is used to help you estimate. Sketch each of the objects. Rank Object Sketch Size in nm, mm or mm Human hair Dust Mite Red Blood Cells E. coli (bacteria) Staphylococcus (bacteria) Ebola virus Rhinovirus Part B: Bacterial Cell Model - (you will need to return to the "Cell Biology" link to access this page, and click on cell models.) Part C; Animal Cell Model - (you will need to return to the "Cell Biology" link to access this page, or hit your back button) For this model, you will need to click on the various parts of the cell to go to a screen that tells you about the parts. Answers to the following questions are found there. 1. What do mitochondria do? Sketch each of the following. Mitochondria 2. How big are mitochondria? 3. What does the Golgi Apparatus do? 4. What is the difference between smooth and rough ER? Lysosome Golgi Apparatus 5. Where is the nucleolus found? 6. What does the nucleolus do? 7. What does the cytoskeleton do? Rough ER 8. Cytosol goes by what other name? 9. What is the function of the cytosol? 10. What is the function of the lysosome? Part D: Plant Cell Model - (you will need to return to the "Cell Biology" link to access this page, or hit your back button) 1. What other type of cell has a cell wall? Sketch the following Chloroplast 2. What makes the plant cells green? 3. In plant cells, what does the vacuole do? Vacuole Part E: Overview For the chart below, place a check in the box if the cell has that component. Plant Chloroplast Vacuole Ribosome Mitochondria DNA Endoplasmic Reticulum Cell Wall Golgi Apparatus Animal Bacteria Cell Organelles Review 1. In what organelle does cellular respiration (converting glucose into ATP energy) take place? 2. Name a storage organelle and describe what it stores 3. What is the list of organelles that take part in protein synthesis? Describe what they do. 4. What organelle is considered a “factory”, because it takes in raw materials and converts them to cell products that can be used by the cell? 5. What do ribosomes do? 6. What is a centriole? What does it do for the cell? 7. What is the cytoskeleton? Name two functions of the cytoskeleton. 8. What organelles are ONLY found in plant cells? Why? 9. Do plant cells contain mitochondria? Why? 10. The diagram shows a cross section of part of a cell membrane. a. Describe the basic structure of the cell membrane. b. Describe two primary functions of the cell membrane. c. Explain how the structure of the cell membrane allows it to perform the functions described in part (b). 11. Identify the parts that are labeled below.
