Cell Organelle Model
Introduction:
Within cells there is an intricate network of organelles that all have
unique functions. These organelles allow the cell to function properly.
Membrane-bound organelles are common in all eukaryotic cells. Cell
organelles include the nucleus, nucleolus, chloroplast, mitochondria,
rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, lysosomes, plasma
membrane, cilia & flagella, and centrioles to name a few. The
structure of these organelles often determines the function of this
cell part.
Objective:
Using information from lecture and the textbook, students will
construct a model of a cell organelle that shows how the organelle's
ultrastructure gives rise to its function. A key must be include naming
all parts of the organelle.
Guidelines:
1. No food materials are allowed.
2. All parts of the organelle discussed in lecture & the textbook
must be included for full credit.
3. The model must be 3-dimensional and must be able to stand
or lay on the lab counter.
Grading:
1. The more detail in the organelle, the more points will be
awarded.
2. Models must be sturdy & 3-dimensional.
3. Points will be awarded for attractiveness.
