ANSWER SHEET

• This exercise is designed to allow the students
  to visualize some real life cells and there
  functions. Pass facilitators to ask what the
  functions are of the cells, do not give answers
  to students and if necessary there are always
  textbooks!
• ONION CELLS, FUNCTION The cell wall functions to
  support and protect the cell. Plants have cell
  walls composed of cellulose fungi have walls
  composed of chitin. The cell walls of these onion
  skin cells can be easily seen. What is the cell
  wall composed of?
• RED BLOOD CELLS, FUNCTION Red blood cells
  contain the protein haemoglobin which carries
  oxygen around your body
• NERVE CELLS, FUNCTION A neuron is the
  fundamental unit of the nervous system, having
  structure and properties that allow it to conduct
  signals by taking advantage of the electrical
  charge across its cell membrane. Q-What role does
  the synapse have?, Explain the resting
  potential?, What triggers the action potential?
  Compare the central nervous system and the
  Peripheral nervous system?
• WHITE BLOOD CELLS, FUNCTION This cell functions
  in defending the body against infections and
  cancer cells. The white blood cells have a
  variety of ways by which they can attack. Some
  will produce protective antibodies that will
  overpower the germ. Others will surround and
  devour the bacteria.

EUKARYOTIC CELL DIAGRAMS

• Students will require some mental recall in this
  task to name the cell structures in the following
  cells. It is better if students dont use their
  textbooks to label the diagram but attempt to
  fill in as much as they can by memory and
  discussion to others on their table. Facilitators
  can decide whether they want to include
  structural list or cut them off and get students
  to memorise the organelles entirely on their own.
  Discuss some of the functions of the following
• Mitochondrion
• Lysosome
• Ribosomes
• Golgi apparatus/complex
• Cytoskeleton
• Nucleus
• What structures are in animal cells and not in
  plant cells/ vice versa?

Central vacuole Chloroplast Plasmodesma/ta
