3.1 -Cell Basics, Organelles, and Structures

Preview: 

For this topic preview we will be examining some additional different types of unique cells. To complete the preview, you will be researching one of the following specialized cells (SIMPLY PICK ONE) - (Adipocytes, neuron, osteoclast, schwann cell, astrocyte, rod cells, cone cells, ciliated epithelial cells, erythrocytes, leukocytes, macrophage, microglia, OR A HUMAN CELL TYPE OF YOUR CHOICE)

- Complete the following in your 3.1 unit guide preview section.

1) What is the general function of the cell?

2) Why is this cell's anatomy different, in order to help it's physiology (why is it unique???)

3) Draw a neat sketch of yourcell and label its structures including labeling the specialized anatomy.

Cell Observation Follow-Up and Part 2

- For this week's assignment, you will be completing the cell observation lab. The theme for this lab was that cells (just like organisms as a whole) are specialized in their form based on their function. 

1) Complete part 1 of the cell observation lab. Use the guiding questions (see file to the right), to research why your observed cell is unique. 

2) Next, complete the first TWO columns of part 2. Guess which cell is which (using the list to the left), and write a possible function. 

Cell Possibilities 

 1) Onion Root tip   2) Human blood    3) Frog blood    4) Human sickle cell blood    5) Onion epidermis    6) Striated muscle cells 7) Human cheek cell (Squamous epithelial cells) 

Learning Targets: 

1) I can list and describe the differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.

2) I can list and describe the organelles that allow the cell to be the smallest functioning unit of life. 

3) I can categorize each organelle and describe it's homeostatic mechanisms.

major components of an atom and explain their role in chemical reactions/atomic properties 

2) I can determine when different types of bonding will occur based on the elements prese
