Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)
1. What are some of the structures inside a cell that help it to live and perform its role in an organism?
Mitochondrion, Ribosomes
2. How do you think plant cells differ from animal cells? (Hint: What can plants do that animals cannot?)
They have a cell wall and they have Chloroplast, which converts radiant energy to
chemical energy
Gizmo Warm-up
The Cell Structure Gizmo allows you to look at typical animal, plant,
and bacterial cells under a microscope. On the ANIMAL CELL tab,
click Sample to take a sample of an animal cell. On the dropdown
menu, select Centriole.
3. Find the centrioles (Highlighted in green).
✏
Make a sketch of the
centrioles in the space below. Either hand draw in the space below or
edit using the drawing tools.
4. Read the description of the centrioles. What is their function?
They organize the movement of cells during cell division
