Cell Structure and Function Review HyperDoc
Goal: Review the Parts and Functions of Cells
Essential Questions you will be able to answer:
How are plant and animal cells similar?
How are plant and animal cells different?
What does the cell theory state?
How do cell structures contribute to the processes of cell division?
The Learning Goals:
Compare and Contrast plant and animal cells.
Explain the cell theory.
Explain how cell structures contribute to the processes of mitosis and meiosis.
Use these slides to learn about cell theory and why cells are small.
1. What are the three parts of the cell theory?
Why are cells so small?
View these slides to explore types of cells and their structures and functions.
Select the characteristics for each type of cell.
Ribosomes suspended in the cell's cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum
Has a cell wall
Has many organelles with membranes
Nucleus present
Organelles without a membrane.
No nucleus
Only some have cell walls
Ribosomes only present suspended in the cell's cyotplasm
PROKARYOTE
EUKARYOTE
Watch these two EdPuzzles: Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic and Introduction to Cells: The Grand Cell Tour (posted in Classroom) to categorize the following: (These EdPuzzles will also be worth their normal 5 pts. each.)
Drag each cell part to the correct category.
