Chapter 6 beginning organelle types

Today in class you started reading chapter 6 in your textbook and reviewed similar questions from the video and with your partner should have come up with definitions and things that are similar around Lawrenceville.





For example what around L'ville serves the same type of function as the nucleus? Is it different in animal vs plant cells? What about prokaryotes vs eukaryotes











We also talked about cell theory, which is? How was it discovered? Is it "proven" that all living things are made up of cells?


We also talked about why compartmentalization is important: cells need to have separate membrane bound structures (organelles) to do different functions at the same time (in which type of organism? Prok or Euk?).

What about specialization? allows different shapes/types of cells or organelles to have different functions that only they do

Size and shape - having different size and shape of cells allows for specialization and have their form 'match' their function.

 See if you can identify examples of cells with each structure below: You can use the images below
                         High vs Low surface area
                         Block vs Web
                         Smooth vs Appendage
                         Connected vs Free
                         Motile vs Sessile
                                                         
                               
                                                                      Sperm Cell
                                                                                                                                  Cardiac Muscle
             Neuron

Skin Cells
