Parts of a Cell

Grade: 10
Key Question:
How do plants use specialized cells and processes to accomplish the same
functions as a single cell, but on a larger scale?

Objective:
Describe the function of cell organelles and structures in a cell, in terms of
life processes, and use models to explain these processes and their
applications

identify the structure and describe, in general terms, the function of


the cell membrane, nucleus, lysosome, vacuole, mitochondrion,
endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, ribosomes, chloroplast and
cell wall, where present, of plant and animal cells

Materials needed/preset up required/logical considerations:


Worksheets for all students
Activity video prepped
Papers and markers for students

T: 5 min.

Activity 1
T: 20 min.

Review some previous learning that has taken place. Review


the lab from yesterday and answer any questions that the
students still have. The lab report is due at the end of class
today. If the students still need time to work on their lab report
they will have time at the end of the class period.
Students will divide up at the beginning of class and be
assigned to make a drawing and three points about the
structure and function of the cell part that they have chosen.
This will ensure students have a chance to learn about all of
the organelles and become and expert on one of them. The
following organelles that will be assigned are :

1. Cell membrane
2. Nucleus
3. Lysosome
4. Vacuole
5. Mitochondrion
6. Endoplasmic Reticulum
7. Golgi apparatus
8. Ribosomes
9. Chloroplast
10.
Cell wall (if present)
As students finish, they will bring up their poster and I will
ensure that all of the information is correct and present. If it is
good, they will tape it to the wall and wait quietly until all
groups have finished. Ensure names of group members are on
the poster.
Transition

Hand out sheets.

Activity 2

Students will take a gallery walk around the classroom and will
fill in the chart that is given to them. The chart will help them
to get information about all of the parts of a cell. This will take
part and continue on until the class has completed all of the
information in their charts. The group names will be on the
posters so that people know who they can ask questions if they
may have any.

T: 30 min.

Transition

Have students sit back down in desks, ensure desks are back to
original places and posters are taken off the wall and handed
in.

Conclusio
n

Talk about importance of knowing all of the different structures


in the cell and and some of the other ways we will cover this. If
time permits can have the students answer questions and
share things that they learned during class today. Students will
then have time to work on lab reports and hand them in till the
end of class and during their flex period.

T: 15 min.

Assessment: Posters on the wall, questions asked at the end of class.


Sponge: video on virusesParts of a Cell

Organelle
Name

Structure/Function

Cell
Membrane

Semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm


Made up of a phospholipid bilayer
Functions to protect the cell

Nucleus

Found in eukaryotes and contains the DNA


Functions to regulate gene expression (Control Center)
Small pores on surface regulate transport in and out of
nucleus

Lysosome

Spherical structures that break down biomolecules


Very acidic pH and only in animal cells
Can lyse their contents to destroy the cell if needed
(autolysis)

Vacuole

Only found in plant cells


Storage compartment mostly filled with water
No basic shape or sizedepends on what the cell
requires

Mitochond
rion

Provide energy to the cell (powerhouse)


Contain a double membrane and have many different
parts
Will be more prevalent in cells that require more
energy (liver)

Endoplasm
ic
Reticulum

ROUGH: Lots of ribosomes


SMOOTH: Synthesize lipids
Fold proteins and transport to the Golgi Apparatus

Golgi
Apparatus

Packages proteins into vesicles


Proteins are then transported to final destination
Used in secretion of proteins etc. from the cell

Ribosomes

Composed of the small subunit and the large subunit


Reads RNA and makes proteins (Translation)
Found in eukaryotes and prokaryotes (essential)

Chloroplas
ts

Take energy from sun and convert to useable form


(photosynthesis)
Contains green pigment called chlorophyll
Contains a double membrane

Cell Wall
(if
present)

Outside of the cell membrane


Structural support, protection and filtering (prevent
overexpansion)

Only found in plants, but also some fungi
