Most animal cells have the following parts:
- a nucleus
- cytoplasm
- a cell membrane
- mitochondria
- ribosomes. |
|
What sub-celluar structures are found in most animal cells? |
|
|
|
In addition to the parts found in animal cells, plant cells often have:
- chloroplasts
- a permanent vacuole filled with cell sap
- cell wall |
|
What additional sub-celluar structures do plant cells often have? Explore structure of animal and plant cells using models |
|
|
|
Plant and algal cells also have a cell wall made of cellulose, which strengthens the cell. |
|
What are plant and algal cell walls made of to strengthen the cell? |
|
|
|
Students should be able to explain how the main sub-cellular structures, including the nucleus, cell membranes, mitochondria, chloroplasts in plant cells and plasmids in bacterial cells are related to their functions. |
|
How are each of the following sub-ceullular structures related to their functions: nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes, and plasmids (bacterial cells)? |
|
|
|
Students should be able to use estimations and explain when they should be used to judge the relative size or area of sub-cellular structures. |
|
What is the estimated size of an ant, the diameter of a hair, the length of a leaf cell, the size of a red blood cell, the length of bacterium, the size of a virus, the diameter of DNA and the size of a carbon atom. |
