Virtual Tour of Cells: Instructions: Visit each of the sites listed below and answer the questions listed for the site by browsing the website for information. 1. http://www.nigms.nih.gov/news/science_ed/life.html On the "Contents" menu on the left hand side, click on "The Astonishing Uniformity of Life". Answer the following questions: a. What are the main differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells? b. What type of cells make up i) bacteria, ii) animals and iii) plants? c. What lines of evidence suggest that all life on earth originated from a common, single-celled ancestor? Review the other pages listed under the "Contents" as well as the website listed below to answer the next set of questions.
2. http://projects.edtech.sandi.net/miramesa/Organelles/animal.html a. List the organelles found in an animal cell and provide a brief explanation of the function of each organelle. b. List the organelles found in a plant cell and provide a brief explanation of the function of each organelle. c. What organelle in plant cells does the mitochondria resemble? In what ways are the two organelles similar?
3. http://www.cellsalive.com/toc.htm a. Review the links listed under "Cell Biology" and work through the interactive activities until you become familiar with the presented material. (Note: we have not covered some of the material listed, but the information and graphics provided are pretty cool, so go ahead and check it all out.) b. Take the "Quiz on Cell Biology" to test your knowledge.
4. http://www.quia.com/custom/2744main.html This page contains link to four different games that test your knowledge of cell organelles. Play a couple until you are completely familiar with the different organelles and their functions (Note: test yourself by not looking at your notes when playing the games.)
5. http://www.quia.com/hm/84300.html This game tests your understanding of the Scientific Method. It is identical to the way in which we listed the steps, but it will help you become familiar with all aspects of the Scientific Method.
6. http://www.quia.com/jg/66183.html This game tests your understanding of the concepts we discussed in chapter 3 - the different types of bonds and molecules. It's a good review and a test of how much information you have retained from the past two lectures.
7. http://www.quia.com/jg/66182.html This game contains terms from all the past lectures and labs - a good overall review.
8. http://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive/index.html a. Explore the various links and find information that captures your interest. There is an animation on cell diffusion, which you can access by clicking on the "Animations" link at the top of the page, then clicking the "Index" page and selecting "Diffusion Across Membranes". b. There are also virtual labs where you can participate in simulated laboratory procedures. You can access these labs by clicking on the "Virtual Labs" link at the top of the main page.
