Journal Entry: What organelles are found in different types of cells?

 

Learning Intentions

• We will learn the structure and function of organelles found in different types of cells.

• We will learn why cells are small.

• We will learn how cells and organisms increase surface area to volume ratio to be more efficient.

Closing Task:

You can identify cellular structures that contribute to cell success and explain how the structure of these organelles contribute to their function.

Content Standards being covered:

ENE-1.B: Explain the effect of surface area-to-volume ratios on the exchange of materials between cells or organisms and the environment.

ENE-1.C: Explain how specialized structures and strategies are used for the efficient exchange of molecules to the environment.

EVO-2: Organisms are linked by lines of descent from common ancestry.

SYI-1.D: Describe the structure and/or function of subcellular components and organelles.

SYI-1.E: Explain how subcellular components and organelles contribute to the function of the cell.

SYI-1.F: Describe the structural features of a cell that allow organisms to capture, store, and use energy.
