WHERE IS YOUR CELL DRAWING LAB????? Big points!!

Cell Organelle Review Websites

Cell Craft

Click here to play Cell Craft    A video game that walks you through building a cell. Use this to substitute for HW #4 or a TicTacToe, or just to prepare you for the test.

Focus on the functions of each organelle. Use the "encyclopedia" button that looks like a textbook to learn more.

Take notes as you play, but only on the organelles covered on your learning target sheet. For example, slicer enzymes are interesting and important, but you will not be tested on them.

Keep in mind that it is a bit confusing because they turn a prokaryote into a eukaryote (took millions of years) and give animal cells chloroplasts.

Learning Targets

Mountainous              I can… Identify and describe functions of more complex cell organelles including, peroxisomes, lysosomes, and nucleolus and understand how all cell organelles interact within the cell. Identify which organs or organ systems rely more on particular organelles. Differentiate between the kingdoms and understand the differences between them; categorize cells based on cell structure into the correct kingdoms and differentiate between eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Explain how viruses infect humans.

Uphill      I can… Identify and describe functions of cell organelles including the cell membrane, cell wall, cytosol, nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, rough and smooth ER, chloroplast, golgi apparatus, and vacuoles. Explain how the kingdoms vary, including examples of each; categorize cells as plant, animal or prokaryotic based on cell structure, know the differences between the six kingdoms, and compare and contrast prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Describe viruses and their effect on cells.

Straight Ahead         I can… Identify and describe functions of cell organelles including: cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, cytosol, chloroplast, mitochondria, and vacuoles. List the kingdoms and know an example for each; categorize cells as plant or animal based on cell structure and list the six kingdoms of life. Label a virus and know the steps of infection.
