Cheek Cell This is a cheek cell of a human under the microscope at 10x.In it you can see the:1. Nucleus2. Cell membrane3. CytoplasmLabel the part with the NUMBER in the word bank--not the word!!For example, when I label the nucleus I would write 1 in blank on the diagram 1 2 3 This is a slide of onion cells under the microscope at 10x.In it you can see the:1. Nucleus2. Cell wall3. CytoplasmLabel the part with the NUMBER in the word bank--not the word!!For example, when I label the nucleus I would write 1 in blank on the diagram(The unfocused black line is a pointer built into the microscope) 2 3 1 Use the cells to fill in the blanks! It is obvious that this first cell is an animal cell because it doesn't have a cell wall. Also, the shape is rounded. There are more organelles in this cell like the mitochondria for energy and ribosomes too but they are too small to see.The second cell is definitely a plant cell because it does have a cell wall. That organelle is so close to the cell membranethat we can't see it but they are both there! The cells are rigid and stack together like bricks, unlike the first one which was flexible. We can't see them in this kind of cell of its kind but others would have chloroplasts. It would also have other organelles we can't see at this magnification like the large central vacuole. Plant vs Animal Sort these words into the correct catergory! Animal Cell Only lysosomes many small vacuoles Round Flexible Plant AND Animal Cells nucleus mitochondria rough ER smooth ER cell membrane cytoplasm Golgi ribosomes eukaryote Plant Cells Only cell wall chloroplast large central vacuole Square Rigid Organelle MatchingScroll through this quizlet to review. Match that Organelle with the correct function. Mitochondria I am the powerhouse of the cell. I am responsible for breaking down glucose for energy. Cell Membrane I keep the cell together and protect it. I control what enters and exits the cell. Cytoplasm I am the jelly-like substance in the cell. I help move things around the cell. ER I make proteins with the help of ribosomes and fats and store them too. Nucleus I am the control center of the cell. I contain DNA. Ribosomes I am the protein builder. Golgi I package and ship proteins. Lysosome I break down and get rid of cellular waste. Chloroplasts I am home to a green pigment called chlorophyll. I help to trap sunlight to make glucose. Vacuole I am store lots of water for plant cells. But I also store dissolved nutrients for plant and animals in a much smaller form. Cell Wall I am the tough covering around plant cells. I give them their shape and support.
