Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Examine the model of the human cell and identify the rough endoplasmic
reticulum. Sketch the rough endoplasmic reticulum in the box below.
How would you describe the shape of this organelle?
Is this organelle connected to the nucleus at all?
What is the function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
What would you conclude about a cell that had a lot of rough endoplasmic
Ribosomes
Examine the model of the human cell and identify the ribosomes.
Are ribosomes only associated with rough endoplasmic reticulum?
What is the function of ribosomes?
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Examine the model of the human cell and identify the smooth endoplasmic
reticulum. Sketch the smooth endoplasmic reticulum in the box below.
How would you describe the shape of this organelle?
Is this organelle connected to the nucleus at all?
List some of the functions of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
What would you conclude about a cell that had a lot of smooth endoplasmic
Golgi Apparatus
Examine the model of the human cell and identify the Golgi apparatus. Sketch
the Golgi apparatus in the box below.
Do cells have one or many?
How would you describe the shape of this organelle?
Specifically, how is the shape of the Golgi apparatus different from the
endoplasmic reticulum?
What organelle is closest (in proximity) to the Golgi apparatus?
What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?
Mitochondria
Examine the model of the human cell and identify mitochondria. Sketch
mitochondria in the box below.
Do cells have one or many mitochondria?
How would you describe the shape of mitochondria?
What do you notice about the inside of mitochondria?
What is the function of mitochondria?
What would you conclude about a cell that had many mitochondria compared
