Study Guide for Cells and Cell Organelles

Use the following websites to help you study for the Test on Cells and functions of Organelles (in a Animal and Plant Cell):

Cell Organelles & Functions 1 (*This is from the Powerpoint Lesson I showed in class)

Is it a Plant or Animal? (UEN)

CELLS alive! Website (animated version of an Animal or Plant Cell)

These videos are good ones that discuss all the parts of a cell:

Here are some pictures to help you understand more about Animal and Plant cells. *Click on them to see them bigger:

*For the test, you will also need to know about:        
- Cell Organization (cells --> tissues --> organs --> organ systems) 
- The Cell Theory
- Photosynthesis

Here's a practice QUIZ to study from. It's a little more advanced, but check it out- SoftSchools QUIZ- The Cell and Cell Structure

In addition, do the following Quizlets in order to prepare for the Exam on Cells and Cell Organelles:

QUIZLET- Cells1

QUIZLET- Cells2

QUIZLET- Cell Organization1

QUIZLET- Cell Organization2

Cell Organelle Research Worksheet (WEBQUEST)

Class, this post is for your Webquest assignment on Cell organelles, now that you've learned about the basic cell. This will be done over 2 days (you can use headphones).
Your task is to research different cell organelles and describe the function and structure of each one, draw pictures of the organelles (with labels), and identify if they belong in animal cells, plant cells, or both. Also, write an analogy/metaphor for each organelle. Focus more of the FUNCTION of the cell organelles. 

Use the following websites to help you fill in all pages of the packet. Your Textbook is also available to use, on pages 364-367. Remember, ONLY use the following websites!:

Biology 4 Kids (look for Cell Organelles on right side)

Cell Organelles & Functions 2 (Use this PPT to help you understand the structures of cell organelles and their functions)

Kidtopia (Google for kids)

BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation)

_____________________________________________________________________

The Cell Theory:

n1) All living things are made of one or more cells.

n2) The cell is the basic unit of life in which the activities of an organism occur.

n3) All cells come from cells that already exist.
