1. Monday 3 October Topic: A day in the life of a cell
DO NOW
What comes to mind when you hear the word ‘protein?’ Describe what functions you think they have in the body. Why do you think they’re necessary in a healthy body?
OBJECTIVE
Explain how at least 5 cell
organelles work together to
make and use proteins in your
body
TURN IN:
2 sheets – one of labeled cell parts, and one is the table of all the organelle functions
HW:
Rough draft due Wednesday: Detailed paragraph (typed or neatly written on separate paper)
Describe how the organelles in a cell work
together to make and use proteins. Include at
least 5 different organelles in your essay.
AGENDA
Day in the life of a cell!
You will get a ‘script’ afterwards which, combined with your notes, is all you need for the hw

2. Cytoplasm RNA Nucleus E.R. ATP A Day in the Life of The Cell Ribosome
Protein
Ribosome
RNA
Released into blood stream and used as hormone or other bodily structure
Golgi Apparatus
(Modifies and shapes the protein)
Protein being formed at Ribosome
Nucleus
Cytoplasm
Protein could go to membrane to be released into blood stream
DNA
(Holds genetic information)
RNA
(Copies genetic from DNA and carries it to the Ribosome to make proteins)
(“bubbles” that transport proteins)
Vesicles
(transports and packages proteins)
E.R.
Lysosome
::Blood Stream::
Cell Membrane
CO2 + H2O
ATP
(for the cell to use)
Ribosomes
Mitochondria
Cell Respiration
Glucose + O2

3. A Day in the Life of The Cell

4. Tuesday 4 October Topic: A day in the life of a cell
DO NOW
Where is DNA located and why?
How do ribosomes get their building information?
What contribution to protein production does the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) play?
OBJECTIVE
Explain how at least 5 cell
organelles work together to
make and use proteins in your
body (cont)

6. Cell analogies
With a partner, you are to come up with analogies for a minimum of 4 organelles of your choice
These analogies must compare the function of the organelle to a part of a city
E.g. a vesicle is like a mail truck because it picks up materials to deliver
You and your partner should write your analogy on the appropriate poster
Most creative wins!

8. Friday 7 October Topic: Cells Under the Microscope
DO NOW
Complete the pre-lab questions
OBJECTIVE Identify various cells and cell components by creating wet mount slides from different organisms.
HW:
Complete lab analysis questions
Detailed paragraph (typed or neatly written on separate paper), describeing how the organelles in a cell work together to make and use proteins. Include at least 5 different organelles in your essay.
AGENDA
Review lab protocol
Cells under the microscope
TURN IN LAB BEFORE YOU LEAVE

9. Lab Protocol
It is imperative that you stay AT your lab table and RAISE YOUR HAND for permission to move about the room
This means roaming around for ANY REASON
You get one roaming warning then the next offense is a blue slip
Lab materials are to be used for the purpose written in the lab report ONLY
ANY misuse of lab materials is an automatic blue slip, no questions asked

10. Lab Protocol
Today you are observing animals cells (your own cheek cells) and plant cells (Elodea leaflets)
The ENTIRE lab is written step by step – do everything in order so you don’t get lost/confused!
Your lab is to be completed (with analysis questions) and turned in TODAY
If you don’t complete the lab, you must finish afterschool during office hours
