1) Cell Analogy Project: Work on your portions of the PowerPoint presentation. Aim to complete at least one slide at home tonight for one organelle and its analogy. Refer to the example 1 below for the written portion of a PowerPoint slide on the mitochondria. Provided as example 2 below for the beginning of a paragraph showing the relationship between organelles - use this to help you with Part 4 of the project. Cell Analogy Project due Friday, Dec. 3rd. You MUST be prepared to share your presentation on this day.
Example 1: Mitochondria are similar to Power Plants in a city. Mitochondria are pod-shaped organelles that contain enzymes used to extract energy from nutrients for the cell to power its chemical reactions. A power-plant has large pod-shaped smokestacks the let out materials produced during the manufacture of energy. The power plant produces energy to ‘fuel’ the city, just like the mitochondria does for the cell.
Example 2: The CYTOPLASM of a cell is the jellylike substance that is between the membrane and the nucleus. It contains specialized structures. Without the cytoplasm all organelles would not have anywhere to be suspended within the cell. Therefore, the cytoplasm helps keep organelles such as the NUCLEUS in their correct location so that they can carry out their functions.
2) Any missing labs must be handed in by the end of this week, Friday, December 3rd. If you have not completed Lab 8: Introduction to the Microscope and Lab 9: Plant and Animal Cells, you must do so ASAP.
3) Cells and Microscope Test next Wednesday. We will review in class on Tuesday.
