2.+Parts+of+a+Cell

When you look at a cell under a [|light microscope], you can see it has different parts. The parts you need to know for this topic are the //nucleus, cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, chloroplasts and vacuoles//. Scientists call the different parts of the cell - cell organelles. If you look at a cell under an [|electron microscope], which is really powerful, you can see even more tiny organelles. Choose Biology in Year 11 and you will learn about the cell in more detail.


 * Definition: organelle: a part of a cell that does a certain function e.g. nucleus**





This [|animation] tells you about some of the basic parts if a cell. This [|plant cell animation] goes into some details of parts of the plant cell.

1. Add the definition of organelle to your wordlist. 2. Construct a table (either on your book or using OneNote) that has a description for the following: nucleus, cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, chloroplast and vacuole. You can use your KISS notes on the cell, giving to you Week 1, to help you find the information. You can also do internet research if you can't find vacuole in the KISS notes. 3. Add a comment to the discussion for this page.
