Objective: You will look at computer models of cells; learn the functions and the
descriptions of the cells and their components.
Part A: Bacterial Cell Model - (you will need click on interactive cell models and
then click on Bacterial Cells)
Part B: Animal Cell Model - (you will need to click on plant and animal cell
animations then click on animal cell)
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.
Sketch each of the following.
1. What do mitochondria do?
Mitochondria
2. What does the cell membrane do?
3. What does the Golgi Apparatus do?
4. What is the difference between smooth and rough ER?
5. Where is the nucleus found?
Cell Membrane
Golgi Apparatus
Smooth and Rough E.R.
Nucleus
6. What does the nucleus do? What is contained in the
nucleus?
7. What does the cytoplasm/cytosol do?
Cytoplasm
8. What do the ribosomes do?
Ribosome
Part C: Plant Cell Model - (click on plant cell)
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
4. What do mitochondria do?
Mitochondria
5. What does the cell membrane do?
Cell Membrane
6. What does the Golgi Apparatus do?
Golgi Apparatus
Smooth and Rough E.R.
7. What is the difference between smooth and rough ER?
Nucleus
8. Where is the nucleus found?
9. What does the nucleus do? What does it contain?
Cytoplasm
10. What does the cytoplasm/cytosol do?
Ribosome
11. What do the ribosomes do?
Part D: Overview place a check in the box if the cell has that component.
