Unit 5
Laboratory ExpectationsAll coats and bags are stored out of the
way.
No food / drink in the Lab- no exceptions.
During experimental processes all stools are stored safely.
Everyone participates.
Brain Warm Up
Working with the person next to you list all of the hazards you
see on the picture
S&C - Which might you experience in this lab?
Prepare to feed back to the group
You have 4 minutes
Lesson Aim: Know the organisation of the human body
Todays objectives:
LO1 Recall previous knowledge on cells
LO2 Determine the structure and function of organelles
LO3 Create an animal cell
Introduction to a generalised animal cellTask 3 minutes.
Research a definition of an animal cell
The basic membrane-bound unit that contains the fundamental
molecules of life and which all living things are made of.
Cells forms the basic units of all living organisms. Cells show
properties that characterise life. They absorb or produce food,
reproduce, are sensitive to changes in their environment and
control their chemical processes. There are lots of different types
of cells that make up living organisms but they are all similar in
structure. www.britannica.com accessed 09/09/16
What do you already know?Individually, write down everything you
know or can remember about cells.
If you need pointers think about the following questions:
What do cells make?Are there different types of cells?What is
inside a cell?
Nucleus this is in the centre of the cell and controls all of
the cells activityCell Membrane this protects the cell and helps to
maintain its shape by surrounding all of the organellesMitochondria
this organelle provides the cells energy and looks like a
woodlouse!Nucleolus this organelle is in the centre of the nucleus
and contains each cells genetic material.
Cytoplasm this is the fluid that suspends all of the organelles,
it nourishes the cellGolgi Complex this organelle creates proteins
which cell needs to grow and reproduce. It looks like a stack of
rubber bands. Endoplasmic Reticulum this organelle surrounds the
nucleusLysosome this organelle acts as a cell cleaner and
metabolises worn out organelles. It looks like a passion fruit in
this pictureVacuole this organelle looks is comparative to a bubble
and acts as a storage unit for the cell.
Lets explore further
Now over to you
In groups of 4 - use the knowledge you have gained of the
structure and function of an animal cell to create your own.
Use the items available and JUSTIFY why you chose that item for
each organelle.
Lets recap
