Specific Lesson Objectives:
You should be able to:
(a) identify cell structures (including organelles) of typical plant and animal cells from diagrams, photomicrographs and as seen under the light microscope using prepared slides and fresh material treated with an appropriate temporary staining technique:
(d) compare the structure of typical animal and plant cells
(e) state, in simple terms, the relationship between cell function and cell structure for the following:
You should be able to:
(a) identify cell structures (including organelles) of typical plant and animal cells from diagrams, photomicrographs and as seen under the light microscope using prepared slides and fresh material treated with an appropriate temporary staining technique:
- chloroplasts
- cell surface membrane
- cell wall
- cytoplasm
- cell vacuoles (large, sap-filled in plant cells, small, temporary in animal cells)
- nucleus
- endoplasmic reticulum
- mitochondria
- Golgi body
- ribosomes
(d) compare the structure of typical animal and plant cells
(e) state, in simple terms, the relationship between cell function and cell structure for the following:
- absorption – root hair cells
- conduction and support – xylem vessels
- transport of oxygen – red blood cells
