1. Create a four column chart in your notes.
2. Label the columns: Parts of a Cell / Cell Functions / Animal / Plant
3. In the first column list the parts of a cell. Use the example below to help you.
4. In the second column, describe the function of each cell part by comparing it to
something else. Create a simile for each. (____ is like a ____ because....)
Example: A cell membrane is like a fence because it surrounds the cell
and only allows certain materials to enter and leave the cell.
5. In the third and fourth columns, place a checkmark in the box if the cell part is
present in animals or plants. If the cell part is present in both, check both boxes.
6. Use the following Web site to research the parts of a cell:
http://www.cellsalive.com
nucleus
nucleolus
cytosol
centrosome
centriole
golgi
lysosome
cell membrane
mitochondrion
vacuole
cell wall
chloroplast
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
rough endoplasmic reticulum
ribosomes
cytoskeleton
Helpful Hint: Click to begin the safari, go to plants, explore the parts of a
cell by clicking on each, return to the main menu, go to animals, compare the parts of a cell listed with the list for plants.
