Core B, Micro-life week 4

COPY QUESTIONS A-D ONTO A WORD DOCUMENT AND SAVE IT BEFORE YOU POST YOUR COMMENTS!   

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

Tori Holtman and Jessica Suprlock
Core B

A. They both have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleoplam, nuclear membrane, nucleolus, Golgi apparatus, ribosome, smooth and rough ER, mitochondria, and microtubules.
B. Slide 1 =animal, slide 2 = plant, slide 3 = plant
C. Did all of them.
D. Differences: The size of the eukaryotic cells are much larger and more complex, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells do, eukaryotic DNA is linear while prokaryotic DNA is circular, eukaryotic ribosomes are much larger than prokaryotic ribosomes, and the cytoplasm of prokaryotes does not contain any organelles.
Similarities: Enclosed by plasma membranes, contain ribosomes, have DNA, and filled with cytoplasm.

Answer A: Their cell membrane is similar.
Answer 1: Animal cell.
Answer 2: Plant cell
Answer 3: Plant cell
Differences:

1) Size: Eukaryotic cells are much larger and more complex.

2) Nucleus: Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells do.

This makes sense, because eukaryotic cells are large enough that they need a nucleus to keep genetic activities close together and increase efficiency. Prokaryotic cells are small enough so that a nucleus is not necessary to maintain efficiency. Instead, prokaryotic cells have something called a nucleoid. The nucleoid is essentially imaginary, and is the region in which genetic activity occurs within the prokaryotic cell.

3) Structure of DNA: Eukaryotic DNA is linear while prokaryotic DNA is circular. Also, Eukaryotic DNA is organized into chromosomes and is complexed with specialized proteins called histones. In Contrast, prokaryotic DNA does not have histones associated with it and prokaryotic DNA does not form chromosomes.

4) Ribosome Structure: Eukaryotic ribosomes are much larger than prokaryotic ribosomes.

5) Organelles: The cytoplasm of prokaryotes does not contain any organelles


Similarities:
1) Enclosed by plasma membranes.

2) Contain ribosomes.

3) Have DNA.

4) Filled with cytoplasm.

A) They are similar because they both are eukaryotic; both have membrane, endoplasmic reticulum’s, Golgi bodies.

B) 1 animal 2 plant 3 plant

Different: 1) sizes of the cells, 2) nucleus Prokaryotic doesn’t have a nucleus. 3) Structure of DNA: Eukaryotic DNA is straight while prokaryotic DNA is more of a circular shape.4) Ribosomes Structure. 5) Organelles.
Same: 1) Both are enclosed by plasma membranes. 2) Contain ribosomes. 3) both have DNA. 4) Both are filled with cytoplasm.
