pgs 74-75 prokaryotic cell
pgs 76-77 animal cell
pgs 78-79 plant cell


The second activity in the "Intro to Cell" lesson from adaptive curriculum goes on pgs 80-81.  You should have the following questions answered on those pages as well as the table of the cell parts/functions & locations


Doing the Activity Object
  1. What agents/organelles only work in Greencity?
  2. Complete the following chart:
Cell Structure

Can be found in both plant and animal cells
Lysosome


Nucleus


Vacuole


Cytoplasm


Ribosome


Cell Wall


Cell Membrane


Endoplasmic reticulum


Golgi Apparatus


Chloroplast




Thinking about the Activity Object

  1. Write 3-5 complete sentences explaining what functions would be affected if the cell membrane becomes damaged.  
  2. Based on your knowledge of the various organelles in plant and animal cells, what three organelles do you think are the most important for proper cell functioning? Explain your reasoning.
