CELL BIOLOGY 1 a. The fundamental life processes of plants and animals depend on a variety of chemical reactions that occur in specialized areas of the organism’s cells. As a basis for understanding this concept:
a. Students know cells are enclosed within semi-permeable membranes that regulate their interactions with their surroundings.
e. Students know the role of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus in the secretion of proteins.
f. Students know how usable energy is captured form sunlight by chloroplasts and is stored thorough the synthesis of sugar from carbon dioxide.
g. Students know the role of the mitochondria in making stored chemical-bond energy available to cells by competing the breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide.
PURPOSE:
• To understand the structure and functions of organelles within the cell.
• To differentiate between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
• To understand the similarities and differences between animal and plant cells.

1. Visit this website and draw and label an ANIMAL cell with the following organelles:
a. Nucleus, nucleolus, ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, smooth endoplasmic reticulum (Smooth ER), rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER), mitochondria, cell membrane.
b. Explain the functions of the organelles in 1 a. (Use writting guidelines)
2. Draw and label a PLANT cell with the following organelles:
a. Nucleus, nucleoulus, ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, smooth ER, rough ER, mitochondria, cell membrane, chloroplast, vacuole, cell wall.
b. Explain the functions of: chloroplast, vacuole, cell wall (Use writting guidelines)
3. Draw a Venn diagram showing the organelles that are common to both animal and plant cells and those that are unique to plant and animal cells.
