Unit 3: Cytology and the excretory System

Module 3.1: Cytology Basics 

Review the cellular basics and expand on your background! 

3.1 Preview: Cell Type Lab Follow-Up

- Directions: USING YOUR SPECIALIZED CELL TYPE and a partner. 

1) Find someone in the class that has a different cell type than the one that you picked. 

2) Have that individual share their GoogleDoc with you.

3) Examine their cell PICTURE ONLY.

4) Complete the following two tasks in your module 3.4 warm-up section.

- TASK #1: Sketch the cell as that person had created with their model.

- TASK #2:Each cell has a unique function. Predict how the anatomy is specially designed for that cell's physiology.(why is that shape so important for the cells function

3.1 Lesson:

  • Please observe the notes in this section and ensure all information is recorded in your notes or can be found on another resource (the cell parts chart or your mod. guide). 
VIDEOS FOR EXTRA HELP

PowerPoint 1: Please use the notes below to complete your Venn diagram comparing Prokaryotic Cells/Eukaryotic cells and Animal vs. Plant Cells. This is also referenced in the Biochem prereqs page.

Here, you will find more specific information relating to cell parts.

Module Learning Targets: 

1.1 – Define: cell, organelle, and inclusion.

1.2 – List the structures of the cell, organelles, and contents of the nucleus. Be able to describe the function of all components of the cell.
