Organelle Research Day 2

A Day in the Life of an Organelle Project Intro This is the same video as yesterday - just a quick introduction to the project you are working on. Below the video is the same assignment instructions and rubric I included yesterday. You don't have to type anything in the dots on those pages. Scroll further down for today's research questions, as well as a new video with instructions and the same resources I provided yesterday. Project Instructions and Rubric r r Research Day Two - Functions and Interactions of your Organelle See the resource links and questions down below.

The page this link will take you to is a general overview of cell structure, but there is a menu on the right side of the page with pages each organelle. Just find your organelle in that list and click on it.

What function(s) does your organelle serve in the cell? What does it do? What does it contribute to the cell? If the cell were a factory, what would your organelle’s role be? Refer back to last Wednesday's lesson, "Organelles!" linked above. Why do we compare this organelle to the part of the factory you answered in the previous question? What about your organelle makes it similar to that role in the factory? Does it have a similar job, act in the same way, have the same location, etc? What other organelles does your organelle interact with? Remember, the organelles in a cell work together as a system! In what ways does it interact with the organelles you answered in the previous question? For example, does it tell other organelles what to do? Does it work on the same molecules? Is it attached to another organelle? Does your organelle produce anything? If so, what does it produce? Depending on your organelle, this might be a similar answer to the function question earlier. See if you can find a few examples of specific things that Does your organelle store anything? If so, what does it store? Certain organelles hold onto substances. Is there a certain type of molecule or other organelle inside of your organelle? How does the function of your organelle contribute to the health of the whole cell? Why does the cell need your organelle to function properly? Think about what would happen if your organelle wasn't there. How does the function of your organelle contribute to the health of the whole living thing? If your cells didn't have your organelle in them, what would happen to you? What would you not be able to do? Is your organelle different in animal cells, plant cells, or prokaryotes? In what ways is it different? Remember, prokaryotes don't have most of the organelles we've looked at. Your organelle might also look or act differently in a plant cell than it does in an animal cell.
