You have 4 tasks to complete for this week's BLOG:

 

A. Explain how these two organisms are similar to each other at the cellular level? Hint: Compare plant and animal cells

B. Students at Rapid Run are conducting a microscope investigation of 3 different types of cells found in a local pond.  Their task is to identify what types of cell they observed and provide 2 pieces of evidence to support their findings.  Hint: Use your colored pictures and power point notes. 

Slide 1: the cell is oval, is a brownish color with green spots, has a nucleus, and has a long flagella.

Slide 2: the cell is long and narrow, is green, has a nucleus, and was found near the top of the pond.

Slide 3: this cell is rectangular, has a green color, has a nucleus, and was part of large group of similar cells.

C.  Use the link below to practice identifying the organelles in an animal cell, plant cell, and bacteria cell. Play the game until you can win for every cell type.  Good practice for your quiz on Friday.  http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/health/anatomy/cell/index.htm  

D.  Compare the structures of bacteria to those of other organisms, using the link below. Provide the 5 differences and 4 similarities between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells. http://www.extremeintellect.com/ei2009/science/biology/differencesprokaryoticeukaryotic.html

 Bad Bacteria

Germ History Made Simple

Microbes are tiny organisms that cause diseases such as; strep throat, ear infections, and pneumonia in people.  Microbes were first discovered in the late 1600s, but the idea that these tiny organisms could cause these diseases did not develop until the 1800's.
