The Eukaryotic Cell and Its Organelles.

Reading:  Read Chapter 3 of our textbook and download the summary notes Cell Structure and Function



In class, we will spend time getting an overview reviewing the primary function of a Eukaryotic Cell and then there will be time for you to read about the functions of each organelle and how they relate to that primary function.  You will make study notes.

Quiz Questions for the following day:
1.  Explain the primary function of
a. the cell membrane
b.  the nucleus
c.  the ribosome
d. DNA
e. RNA
f. cytoskeleton
g. Endoplasmic Reticulum

2.  I will quiz you on three key words in the table on page 69.  I will give you three functions and you identify the cell organelle.

3.  write a small paragraph giving your own cell analogy.



labs coming up:
1. Osmosis and diffusion in gummi bears.
2. Microscopy skills.  Making a wet mount and preparing a plant specimen.  Prep for our lab.
2.  sign up for our two field excursions on DNA.

Here is a video which takes us on a journey into the cell:
