    1. The organelles in an animal cell and their functions are identified and described. 2. Key differences between plant and animal cells are outlined, such as plant cells containing chloroplasts, cell walls, and vacuoles while animal cells do not. 3. Bacterial cells are shown to differ from plant and animal cells in their lack of a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, and presence of a cell wall, plasmid, pilus and flagellum.

    Student Exploration: Cell Structure

    Vocabulary: cell membrane, cell wall, capsule, centriole, chloroplast, cytoplasm, cytoskeleton,
    endoplasmic reticulum, 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 do you think are some of the structures inside a cell that help it to live and perform its

    role in an organism?

    2. How do you think plant cells differ from animal cells? (Hint: What can plants do that animals

    cannot?)

    Gizmo Warm-up
    The Cell Structure Gizmo allows you to look at typical
    animal, plant, and bacterial cells under a microscope.
    On the ANIMAL CELL tab, click Sample to take a sam-
    ple of an animal cell. On the dropdown menu, select
    Centriole.

    1. Find the centrioles (Highlighted in green). Make a


    sketch of the centrioles in the space below.

    2018
    2. Read the description of the centrioles. What is their function?

    2018
    Get the Gizmo ready:
    Activity A:
    · Check that an Animal cell is mounted on the micro-
    Animal cells
    scope.

    Question: Organelles are specialized structures that perform various functions in the
    cell. What are the functions of the organelles in an animal cell?

    1. Label: Locate each organelle in the animal cell. You can choose organelles from the drop-
    down menu or click on them directly. Label the organelles in the diagram below.

    2. Match: Read about each organelle. Then match each organelle to its function/description.

    Cytoplasm Vesicle
    Lysosome Nucleolus
    Mitochondria A. Structure that organizes motion of chromosomes.
    Centriole B. Stack of membranes that packages chemicals.
    C. Membrane that surrounds and protects the nucleus.
    Endoplasmic reticulum
    D. Membrane that surrounds and protects the cell.
    Vacuole E. Sac filled with digestive chemicals.
    F. Structures that convert nutrients to energy.
    Cell membrane
    G. Passageways where chemicals are made.
    Nucleus H. Jelly-like substance within the cell membrane.
    I. Structure that manufactures ribosomes.
    Cytoskeleton
    J. Structure that contains DNA and regulates genes.
    Ribosome K. Package created by the Golgi apparatus.
    Nuclear membrane L. Small structure that synthesizes proteins.
    M. Sac that stores water, nutrients, or waste products.
    Golgi apparatus
    N. Tubules and filaments that give the cell its shape.

    3. Investigate: Select the Cell membrane. Turn on Show closeup. Read the description,
    watch the animation, and answer the following questions below.

    A. What kind of molecules can diffuse (go through) the cell membrane directly?

    B. How can some large molecules and charged ions get through the cell membrane?

    4. Investigate: Select the Nuclear membrane closeup. How is the nuclear membrane similar

    to the cell membrane?

    5. Investigate: Select the Mitochondrion closeup. What happens inside the mitochondrion?

    6. Investigate: Select the Ribosome closeup. How does the cell make proteins inside the ribo-

    some?

    7. Investigate: Select the Vesicle closeup. How do vesicles move through the cell?

    Activity B: Get the Gizmo ready:
    Plant cells · Select the PLANT CELL tab, and click Sample.

    Question: What functions do the organelles in a plant cell perform?

    1. Label: Locate each organelle in the plant cell. Label the organelles in the diagram below.

    2. Compare: What structures are present in an animal cell, but not in a plant cell?

    What structures are present in a plant cell, but not in an animal cell?

    3. Fill in: Name the organelle or organelles that perform each of the following functions.

    A. convert sunlight to chemical energy.

    B. The , the , and the

    support the plant cell and help it to maintain its shape.

    C. store food or pigments.

    2018
    D. convert food into energy. They are found in plant and ani-

    mal cells.

    Activity C: Get the Gizmo ready:


    Bacterial cells · Select the BACTERIAL CELL tab and click Sample.

    E.

    Question: How are bacterial cells different from plant and animal cells?

    1. Label: Locate each organelle in the bacterial cell. Label the organelles in the diagram below.

    2. Match: Read about each organelle. Then match each organelle to its function/description.

    Capsule A. Hair-like structure that the cell uses for movement.


    B. Hair-like structure that attaches the cell to a surface
    Nucleoid and can transfer genetic material from one cell to an-
    Plasmid other.
    C. Region inside cell that contains genetic material but is
    Flagellum not surrounded by a nuclear membrane.
    D. Outermost layer of the cell that provides protection.
    Pilus
    E. Circular piece of genetic material.

    3. Compare: What structures are present in a bacterial cell, but not in a plant or animal cell?
    What structures are present in plant and animal cells, but not in a bacterial cell?

    What structures inside plant and animal cells look like bacteria?

    Chloroplasts and mitochondria have their own DNA. Long ago, these structures may have
    originated as bacteria that were engulfed (eaten) by larger cells.
