B. LABEY WORK:
Functions of cell parts: With a Lab partner identify what each box is
describing. Write your answer inside the box. You may use the same answer more than
once.
Packages proteins
for storage and
secretion from the
cell
Cells having cell
wall/large vacuoles/
chloroplasts/ rigid
structure
The watery fluid
which dissolves the
materials which
enter the cell
Makes proteins in
the cell “protein
factories”
Group of similar
cells performing a
similar function
Digests worn out or
unneeded cells and
cell parts
It contains the cell
contents and
protects the cell
Theory stating cells
are basic units of
structure/ function/
come from other
cells
Directs cell
activities and passes
on hereditary traits
of cell
Make ribosomes
and stores messages
from the chromatin
for future use
Directs cell
activities and passes
on hereditary traits
of the cell
Controls what enters
and leaves the cell
Helps in cell
division
Stores food , water
and wastes
They burn food to
obtain energy for
cell activities
“powerhouse”
Makes lysosomes in
the cell
Digests the
materials and
bacteria in food
vacuoles
Controls what enters
and leaves nucleus/
separates it from
cytoplasm
The control center
of the cell
Concluded that all
plants were
composed of cells
States that living
organisms can arise
from non-living
matter
Group of tissues
working together to
perform a function
A system of canals
which transports
substances to the
inside of cell
Cells having smaller
ribosomes/ naked
DNA/ no nucleus or
membrane systems
Separates the
nucleus from the
cytoplasm
A protein that
changes the rate of
the reaction
C. Color Coding Animal and Plant Cells:
Independently color code the animal and plant cell. Use the color pencils in
the back of the room.
Animal Cell Coloring
Directions: Choose a color for each of the parts below and fill in the square
with the color of your choice. Color the cell part to match.
Cell Membrane
Ribosome
Cytoplasm
Smooth Endoplasmic
Reticulum
Nucleoplasm
Rough Endoplasmic
Reticulum
Nuclear Membrane
Mitochondria
Nucleolus
Lysosome
Golgi Apparatus
Microtubules
Flagella
Briefly describe the function of the cell parts.
1. Cell membrane
2. Endoplasmic Reticulum
3. Ribosome
4. Golgi Apparatus
5. Lysosome
6. Microtubule
7. Mitochondria
8. Nucleus
Plant Cell Coloring
Directions: Choose a color for each of the parts below and fill in the square
with the color of your choice. Color the cell part to match.
Cell Membrane
Ribosome
Cytoplasm
Smooth Endoplasmic
Reticulum
Nucleoplasm
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Nuclear Membrane
Mitochondria
Nucleolus
Chloroplasts
Golgi Apparatus
Microtubules
Vacuole
Cell Wall
Compare and Contrast the animal cell to the plant cell - that is,
describe how they are alike, and how they are different.

Cell City Analogy
In a far away city called Grant City, the main export and production product
is the steel widget. Everyone in the town has something to do with steel
widget making and the entire town is designed to build and export widgets.
The town hall has the instructions for widget making, widgets come in all
shapes and sizes and any citizen of Grant can get the instructions and begin
making their own widgets. Widgets are generally produced in small shops
around the city, these small shops can be built by the carpenter's union
(whose headquarters are in town hall).
After the widget is constructed, they are placed on special carts which can
deliver the widget anywhere in the city. In order for a widget to be
exported, the carts take the widget to the postal office, where the widgets
are packaged and labeled for export. Sometimes widgets don't turn out
right, and the "rejects" are sent to the scrap yard where they are broken
down for parts or destroyed altogether. The town powers the widget shops
and carts from a hydraulic dam that is in the city. The entire city is enclosed
by a large wooden fence, only the postal trucks (and citizens with proper
passports) are allowed outside the city.
Match the parts of the city (underlined) with the parts of the cell.
