Add the appropriate cellular structures to complete the neuron labster

Q: What is the appropriate internal organelles in the cell?

Cytoplasmic organelles are little organs that are suspended in the cytoplasm of the cell. Each type of organelle has a definite structure and a specific role in the function of the cell. Examples of cytoplasmic organelles are mitochondrion, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, and lysosomes.

Cell Structure: Cell theory and internal

organelles

This lab report is for you to reflect on what you completed and learned in this

simulation, and to practice your written scientific communication skills.

1.Describe the overall objective and make a hypothesis.

What is the overall purpose of the experiments or activities? Make a hypothesis if

applicable.

Hint: The purpose is often stated in the welcome message of the simulation.

The objective of the simulation is to learn about cell theory and what makes different

types of cells unique. These concepts will help us solve a problem.

Somewhere some hikers recently discovered a dead pair on their trail. With these

concepts we will be able to analyze the organisms in the surrounding environment to

determine whether the bear died from being poisoned or from other underlying causes.

Hypothesis:

The bear died from being poisoned.

The bear died from other underlying causes.

What components make your cells unique? In this simulation, you will learn to distinguish the structures and internal organelles of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Physical structures of the four basic animal cell types will be highlighted and the function and importance of each internal organelle will be discussed.

Investigate a bear’s death

Hikers have discovered a dead bear and it’s your mission to determine why it died. First, freely explore what types of organisms are present in the forest surrounding the bear and observe real microscopic images of their tissues. Determine whether the organisms are unicellular or multicellular and sort the organisms according to whether they have a cell membrane or cell wall. Finally, build the deadly organism by building 4 cells representative of each basic type of animal tissue: neural, epithelial, muscle and connective tissue.

Apply cell theory

Students will be introduced to each principle of cell theory and apply it to understand how the cellular organization of animal cells in the forest compares to algae, mushrooms, plant roots, and leaves. An incoming storm will help you understand the implication of having a cell wall. After additionally categorizing the organisms as prokaryotes or eukaryotes, you will then build larger-than-life versions of each of the four animal cell types on the holofloor.

Challenged to choose the correct internal organelles for the animal cells, you will learn about the function and importance of the nucleus, ER, cytoskeleton, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, ribosomes, and mitochondria. Then, determine which cellular structures are unique to specific animal cells such as sarcomeres, tight junctions, axons, dendrites and the extracellular matrix.

Uncover the mystery animal

Put together everything you have learned about organelles and cellular structures to build each type of cell in the mystery organism. Will you find out what killed the bear?

What is the appropriate internal organelles in the cell?

Cytoplasmic organelles are "little organs" that are suspended in the cytoplasm of the cell. Each type of organelle has a definite structure and a specific role in the function of the cell. Examples of cytoplasmic organelles are mitochondrion, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, and lysosomes.

Do you remember what the function of the Golgi apparatus is Labster?

Golgi apparatus: The golgi apparatus, or golgi body is an organelle found in most cells and is a continuation of the endomembrane system and functions to package proteins for dispersal throughout the cell, or even to the outside of the cell via secretory vesicles.

Which of the shapes best represents the general shape of a neuron?

Neuron or a nerve cell looks like a star-shaped cell with a tail. Neurons are the basic units of the nervous system and its most important part is the brain. Every neuron is made of a cell body (also called a soma), dendrites and an axon.
