Core A, 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

A. Both plant and animal cell have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleoplasm, nuclear membrane, nucleolus, Golgi apparatus, ribosome, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, rough endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and microtubules.
B. Slide 1. Animal cell, because it has a flagella and is oval shaped.
Slide 2. Plant cell, because it is green, and was found near the top of the pond.
Slide 3. Plant cell, because it is green, and has a rectangular shape.
D.One difference between Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells are the size, Eukaryotic cells are bigger and more complex than Prokaryotic. A second difference is Prokaryotic cells don’t have a nucleus and Eukaryotic cells do. Another difference is that Eukaryotic cell’s DNA structure is linear while Prokaryotic is circular. A fourth difference is eukaryotic ribosomes are much larger than prokaryotic ribosomes. The last difference is that the cytoplasm of prokaryotes does not contain any organelles. One similarity is they are both enclosed by plasma membranes. Another similarity is they contain ribosomes. A third similarity of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells is that they have DNA. A fourth similarity is they are filled with cytoplasm.

an animal cell and a plant cell have a nucleaus a membrane a cycrplasm ribisomes microtubes.
slide 1 is a animal cell cause a plant floats around and eats its food and an animal swims and fings its prey.
slide b is a plant cell because it was found in a pound feeds on plants and its green
slide 3 is a plant cell cause its green and feeeds on plants and because it is rectangled shape
d there is the size the prokaryotes do not have a nucleus euakary cells have bigger robisomes

A) These organisms are basically the same at the celluar level except that that the plant cell has a cell wall while the animal cell only has the cell membrane.
B) Slide one is an animal cell, Slide 2 is a plant cell, and Slide 3 is a plant cell. We can tell the difference between cells because an animal cell is a brownish color and has a flagella. The plant cells are greenish in color and are long and rectangular.
C) Game. We made 4 mistakes.
D) Look Below.
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

They are the same because they all have the same parts.

Slide 1: the cell is oval, is a brownish color with green spots, has a nucleus, and has long flagella. It is an animal cell because it has flagella and only animal cells only have flagella

Slide 2: the cell is long and narrow, is green, has a nucleus, and was found near the top of the pond. It is a bacteria because it is 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. It is a plant cell it is green and rectangular
