    Name: Date: Student Exploration: Cell Structure Directions: Follow the instructions to go through the simulation. Respond to the questions and prompts in the orange boxes. Vocabulary: cell membrane, cell wall, capsule, centriole, chloroplast, cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, endoplasmic 'eticulum. flagellum. Golgi apparatus, lysosome, mitochondria, nucleoid, nuclear membrane, nucleolus, nucleus, organelle, pilus, plasmid, plastid, ribosome, vacuole, vesicle Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo .) 1. What are some of the structures inside a cell that help it to live and perform its role in an organism? Mitochondrion. Ribosomes 2. How do you think plant cells differ from animal cells? {Hint: What can plants do that animals cannot?) They have a cell wall ano they have Chloroplast, which converts raoiant energy to chemical energy Gizmo Warm-up The Cell Structure Gizmo allows you to look at typical animal, plant, ano bacterial cells under a microscope. On the ANIMAL CELL tab. click Sample to take a sample of an animal cell. Or the dropdown menu, select Centriole. 3. Find the centrioles [Highlighted in green). . Make a sketch of the centrioles in the space below. Either hand draw in the space below or edit using the drawing tools. 4. Read the of the What is function? description centrioles. their t/j*e a sketch at 1he centnaies w A They organize the movement of cells during cell division

    Qu esticn: Organelles are specialized structures that perform various functions in the cell. What are th e functions of the organelles in an animal cell? Get the Gizmo ready: • Check lhat an Animal cell is mounted on the microscope. Activity A: Animal cells 1. Label: Locate each orgarelle in the animal cel .Label the organelles in the diagram below. (Double-click on each box. then add the text to the box and click Save and Close.) 2. Match: Read about each orgarelle. Then match each organelle to its function/description. H E Cytoplasm A. Structure that organizes motion of chromosomes. Lysosome E Stack of membranes that packages chem cals. F Mitochondria C. Membrane that protects the nucleus. A Centriole D. Membrane that surrounds and protects th e cell. G Endoplasmic reticulum E. Sac filled wth digestive chemicals.
