Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)
1. What are some of the structures inside a cell that help it to live and perform its role in an
organism? mitochondria - makes ATP, lysome - digest bad things, nucleus - contains DNA
ribosomes - synthesize proteins
2. How do you think plant cells differ from animal cells? (Hint: What can plants do that animals
cannot?) Plant cells have chloroplasts, animal cells do not. Plant cells have a large central
vacuoles, animal cells do not.
Gizmo Warm-up
The Cell Structure Gizmo™ allows you to look at typical
animal and plant cells under a microscope. To start, click
Sample to take a sample of an animal cell. Use the Zoom
slider to see the cell at a magnification of 1000x (1000 times
larger than normal).
1. Use the up/down and left/right sliders to manipulate the
cell. Find the red arrow pointing to the centrioles. From
the internet, find a new picture of a centriole and paste it
here. Please include the web address you got it from.
