Question

Imagine you are the nucleus of a plant or animal cell and have been asked to mentor an organelle that is new to the cell. Take your mentee on a tour of the cell, describing the major parts of the cell and their functions. You may present your tour in a variety of ways; just be sure it demonstrates a complete understanding of the organelles, their functions, and how they work together to support the cell.

Answer 1

I completed that already, with my group. We did a Kingdom.
Basically all you are doing is picking a animal or plant cell. Then you will describe all the organelles and what they do. And then you will pick something like a Kingdom. Let's take the Kingdom. You will name off all the things in the Kingdom. For all the places inside of the Kingdom will be an organelle.
Let's take the cell wall for instance. The cell wall would the wall around the Kingdom.
I hoped this helped. If you don't get let me know. By chances do you do Pasco eSchool/Florida Virtual.

Answer 2

I answered a question quite similar. But it was under BeccaCheyenne

Answer 3

umm can someone please send me a copy of the assignment.. i dont understand it at all and really need to get it done

Answer 4

Major parts of the animal cell:
Nucleus- controls the cell's activities and contains all the genetic material
Nucleolus- is involved in the synthesis of ribosomal RNA. It is a dark body inside the nucleus
Nuclear membrane- keeps DNA inside the nucleus but allows mRNA and proteins through. It is a double membrane with large pores
Golgi Complex- store and package cellular secretions for export out of the cell (usually through the use of vacuoles). Salivary, oil, and digestive glands have very active golgi bodies.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum-is a series of long canals running throughout the cell with ribosomes attached. It transports proteins to the golgi bodies for packaging.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum- is a series of long canals running throughout the cell. It detoxifies the cell and converts foodstuffs.
Centrioles- anchor spindle fibers during cell division. They are composed of microtubules and are only found in animal cells.
Mitochondria- produce most of the cell's energy. They are composed of two membranes (an outer and a folded inner membrane) and are common in muscle cells
Ribosomes and Free Ribosomes- assemble proteins from RNA codes. They are found free-floating in the cytoplasm throughout the cell or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum
Lysosomes-digest and remove worn out cell organelles. In essence, they are vacuoles filled with digestive enzymes.
