Ms. Vanden Hoek (8C "prev. 8D") -- Before Tuesday, November 10th, students must make some decisions about their 3-D cell structure. First, will it be a plant or animal cell? Second, will the project be completed individually or with a partner? Third, what materials will I/we be utilizing to construct the cell? A written plan (sketch, list of materials, draft procedures) of your cell's design must be submitted to Ms. V. at the end of Tuesday's class. The plan may be completed and submitted in class OR may be completed ahead of time, submitted in class, and construction begun on Tuesday. In any case, Wednesday's class will be used for construction and/or collaborative purposes. Bring to school whatever materials that you require. We have construction paper, bristol board, glue sticks, scissors, some clay, paint, markers, chalk, and crayons. Oral presentations will be next Tuesday, November 17th. Previous Homework notices: Test on Cell Structures & The Microscope on Wed. Nov. 4th From October 20th to 22nd, there was no assigned homework. Our in-class investigations involved observations of slides with the microscope, including identifying its parts and their functions. While waiting to view the slides, students responded to the Chapter#1 Review on page 36 of the science text, questions #1 to 10. Students had 3 periods to complete the work. Only a few students were absent all three days. Here are those questions. 1. In your notebook, match each cell function in column A with a cell structure in column B. A: B: – the “power-houses” of the cell – nucleus – carries out photosynthesis in plant cells -- cell membranes – gives plant cells strength and support – chloroplast – a moving fluid that distributes materials – mitochondria – controls the cell’s activities – cytoplasm – a thin, protective “skin” – vacuole – stores materials – cell wall -- chromosome 2. Is an earthworm unicellular or multicellular? Explain your answer. 3. Describe two differences between the cell membrane and the cell wall. 4. On a microscope, which adjustment knob must you use to focus the medium-power objective lens? Explain why. 5. Which part of a cell allows it to exchange substances with its surroundings? 6. Where would you find the substance chlorophyll in a cell? What is its function? 7. Which of the following would you expect to find in an animal cell? Give a reason for each. (a) nucleus (b) chloroplast (c) vacuole 8. Is each of the following statements true or false? If false, write the correct statement. (a) Plant cells have a cell wall but no cell membrane. (b) The cell nucleus contains chromosomes. (c) Mitochondria and chloroplasts both absorb the energy of the Sun. 9. Draw a Venn diagram. Where the circles overlap, list characteristics that living things and non-living things have in common. In the left circle, list characteristics shown only by living things. In the right circle, list characteristics shown by only non-living things.
10. Draw another Venn diagram. Where the circles overlap, list parts that
plant cells and animal cells have in common. In the left circle, list parts
that only plant cells have. In the right circle, list parts that only animal
cells have.
