Question
Transcribed Text
1. Compare a plant or animal cell to something in the real world.
Example: A plant or animal cell is like a city!
When you think of a cell, what analogy comes to mind?
Is it like a school, a shopping mall, a theme park, the Internet, a factory, a county fair, an airport, a zoo, a video game, a bus station, a solar system?
Decide which of the above items you’ll compare a cell to: ___________
2. Justify your analogy.
Example: A plant cell is like a city because a city has an infrastructure that keeps it running smoothly. This infrastructure also protects the people who live in the city from harm. This is similar to the structure of a cell, which allows the cell to run smoothly while also protecting the organelles inside of it.
Write a brief statement (like the example above) justifying your comparison:
________________________________________________________________________________
_______
3. Incorporate 3 organelles.
Select 3 organelles from the list below and incorporate them into your analogy.
Cell membrane Nucleus Cytoplasm Cytoskeleton Ribosome Rough ER Smooth ER
Golgi apparatus Lysosome Vacuole
Mitochondrion Cell wall
Chloroplast
Example: The lysosome is like the city dump because lysosomes dispose of cell wastes using specialized enzymes within a protected membrane, just as the city dump disposes of garbage from households within the city.
Organelle #1 ___________ is like ___________ because ___________. Organelle #2 ___________ is like ___________ because ___________. Organelle #3 ___________ is like ___________ because ___________. 4. Post your work in the Discussion Groups of the class.
Date you posted your 3 organelles in the Discussion Groups: ___________
5. Grab (copy 6 different organelles.
Copy 6 different organelles from other students’ posts. You may ONLY choose people who have done the same analogy as you. You can use 2 or 3 organelles from the same student IF they are not organelles you’ve already done. REPLY to the students whose work you borrow! Paste below:
Organelle #4:
Student who posted it (if no name listed, just say “Ghost Student”): Date student posted it:
Organelle #5:
Student who posted it (if no name listed, just say “Ghost Student”): Date student posted it:
Organelle #6:
Student who posted it (if no name listed, just say “Ghost Student”): Date student posted it:
Organelle #7:
Student who posted it (if no name listed, just say “Ghost Student”): Date student posted it:
Organelle #8:
Student who posted it (if no name listed, just say “Ghost Student”): Date student posted it:
Organelle #9:
Student who posted it (if no name listed, just say “Ghost Student”): Date student posted it:
6. Evaluate this activity.
Why did you choose this activity over the live collaboration session?
