Need a hint? Who has them, what are they, where are they found, when are they made, what is their purpose?
A really cool video
What were some ideas about cells from the video that confirmed what you know about cells?
What is something new that you took away from watching this video?
What was the most surprising part about the video you just watched?
The Cell Coloring Diagram: Structures and Analysis

3. *Get out your coloring sheet for completion stamps
DO NOW Tuesday 10/18
List 5 organelles or cell structures from your coloring sheet. Try to do this from memory first and then if you need, refer back to your sheet.
*Get out your coloring sheet for completion stamps

4. Happy Tuesday! Log onto the computer at the lab station
Open an internet browser (Chrome or Internet Explorer)
Search for “SEPUP Cell Simulation” and click on the first result
OR type in the web address for the cell simulation
Using the cell simulation, build a plant and animal cell and use that information to complete the table for Part A.
Be sure to click on each organelle or cell structure once you have placed it in your cell to receive a more detailed explanation of what it does (this will help you when completing the table).
After completing the table in Part A, use that information to complete Parts B and C (back of the worksheet)
Assigned: Cell Structure and Function Worksheet, if not completed during class, due beginning of class Wednesday (10/19)

5. Select an organelle, cell structure, or cell function
You must receive approval from the teacher before beginning work on your presentation. First-come-first-served basis.
You will be creating a 90 second “commercial” for your organelle, structure, or function
Your group’s presentation must include the following:
Name of the organelle, cell structure, or cell function
Detailed description of what it does for the cell and why it is important to the organism as a whole
Selling point telling us why your organelle/structure or function is THE most important!
(Get creative! Really try to sell the class on why they should vote for your organelle, structure, or function)
(Optional) A disease, disorder, or condition related to your organelle, cell structure, or cell function (include a brief description: make sure the connection is clear)

6. Happy Wednesday! No DO NOW Write: Organelle/Structure Commercials
Sit near your group members
You will have 5 minutes to meet with your group and practice your 90 second (maximum) commercial
You may use notes during your presentation
During the commercial break, be sure to make note of which 2 organelle or cell structure commercials you liked best!

9. Components of the Cell System
Structures and their Functions

10. 1. Cell Membrane Outside boundary of cell
Double layer of FAT molecules (“phospholipid bilayer”)
Proteins embedded within; have different functions
Protects cell and regulates what enters and exits
Does form seem to fit function?

11. 2. Cell Wall
Plants, some fungi, some bacteria, some protists have this
Outside of membrane
Provides structure
Made of carbohydrates (mainly cellulose, which we know as fiber)
Does form seem to fit function?

12. 3. Nucleus Holds DNA and controls the cells activities.
Does form seem to fit function?
3. Nucleus
Pores in the nuclear membrane control flow of materials in and out.

13. 3.5 Nucleolus
Region within the nucleus where ribosomes are formed

14. 4. Cytoplasm Present in all cells
Jelly-like mixture of water, proteins, salt and sugar AND organelles.
Does form seem to fit function?

15. Smaller, specialized compartments within a cell
The Organelles
Smaller, specialized compartments within a cell

16. Where energy stored in food is converted for use in the cell
Number of mitochondria in a cell depends on the purpose of the cell
Muscle cells 
Skin cells 
Does form seem to fit function? Many reactions happen at the inner membrane.
5. Mitochondria

17. Tagged/dyed microtubules in a cell
Tagged/dyed mitochondria in a cell

18. 6. Chloroplasts Chlorophyll - green pigment that allows photosynthesis
Inside, contains flattened sacs “thylakoids”, where photosynthesis occurs
Only in plants… though blue-green pigment like chlorophyll found in some bacteria
Photosynthesis reactions happen at the inner membrane. Does form fit function?
6. Chloroplasts

19. 7. Ribosomes: Not compartments!
No membrane
Composed of two subunits
Protein structures where more proteins are made
The most abundant of all cell parts
Do characteristics seem to fit function?

20. 8. Endoplasmic Reticulum
A large network of membranes that acts like a highway to allow molecules to move throughout cell
Vesicles break off ER to transmit substances around cell
Two types…
Does form seem to fit function?

21. 8a. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Studded with ribosomes!
Processes proteins to export from the cell

22. 8b. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
No ribosomes!
Makes lipids (fats and steroids)
Detoxification in liver cells

23. 9. Golgi Bodies/Apparatus
System of flattened sacs called cisternae
Works with the RER to modify, package and release proteins
Spawns vesicles to transport materials to the cell membrane
Does location seem to fit function?

24. 10. Vacuoles
In plant cells: large and used for water + nutrient storage
In animal cells: small and numerous and contain a variety of substances
Does form seem to fit function?

25. 11. Lysosomes Small, abundant sacs
Contain chemicals for digesting waste, toxins, or useless organelles
Formed from Golgi
Common in animal and fungus cells
Why do fungal and animal cells tend to have more lysosomes?

26. How do we know all of this?

27. The Cell Theory, developed in 1839
The microscope opened a world of discovery of life never seen before. By 1839, scientists Matthias Schleiden, Theodor Schwann and Rudolf Virchow concluded the following as the….
The Cell Theory
1. All living things are made of cells.
2. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things.
3. All cells come from other cells.

28. Which of the cell parts is associated with the production of protein?
DO NOW Friday 10/21
Which of the cell parts is associated with the production of protein?

29. Happy Friday!
Today you will be viewing different types of cells at the microscopic level.
Select 3 of the 5 different cells available and view them under a microscope.
Draw a picture in the space provided of what you see at 4X, 10X, and 40X magnification
Fill in table as you go.

30. Do’s and Don’ts of Compound Microscopes
HOW TO HANDLE A MICROSCOPE:
A compound microscope should be treated as a VERY, VERY, VERY fragile piece of equipment.
Adjustments should be made gently and with finesse.
2. ALWAYS use both hands when picking the microscope up and moving it from one place to another. Do not drag it or push it on the countertop.
3. When focusing on a slide, ALWAYS start with the 4X red objective lens. Once you have the object in focus, then switch to the next higher power objective (10X yellow). Re-focus on the image and then switch to the next highest power (40X blue). NEVER advance more than one objective before focusing.
4. Use ONLY the fine focus control when focusing the higher power objectives (40X) on a slide. The coarse focus control is too coarse for focusing with these objectives. Objectives are fragile and must not be rammed into slides. Be gentle!

31. Check yo’self! (Is this what you saw?)
Adipose (Fat) Cells
Muscle Cells
Plant (onion root) Cells
Red Blood Cells
Cheek Cells

32. Different Types of Cells
Today you looked at (at least) 3 types of cells. All of these cells were dead. However, most cells in your body are living and very busy.
In your notebook, answer the following questions:
What do you think is going on inside of living cells?
What do they need to do that?
Compare the following types of cells (not all cells look exactly the same! Note-they are not all magnified to the same scale, so even though they look like they are different sizes, it is impossible to tell from these pictures)
What differences do you notice?
List any reasons why you think the structure is the way it is for each cell type.
