Cell+City+WEBQUEST

=Cell City WEBQUEST=

How does a cell function like a city? Think about the sites and sounds of a city. You see people and cars moving about, buildings, restaurants, and lights everywhere. What a flurry of activity!
 * __INTRODUCTION__**

Cells, the basic units of life, can be compared to a city. Cells are building and breaking down material. Cells release energy from foods, and then use that energy to make needed cell parts. Cells function to make your body operate like a well run city.

//ORGANELLE = Microscopic structures in a cell that have specialized functions (eg, mitochondria and the nucleus).// [Source: NHBLI/NCBI Glossary ]

1. Research and answer the following questions: //EX: The Golgi Bodies are similar to the Post Office or UPS because the Golgi Bodies is where packaging & shipping occurs//
 * __TASK__**
 * the functions of cell organelles
 * draw or describe what the organelle looks like
 * designate where it is located within the cell
 * create an analogy (comparison) for part of the city that has a similar job to the organelle.

//[|nucleus]// //[|lysosome]// //[|mitochondrion]// //[|endoplasmic reticulum]// //[|vacuole]// //[|cell wall]// //[|chloroplasts]// //[|cell membrane]// //[|cytoplasm]// //[|golgi apparatus]// [|//interactive cell city analogies//]

Each group assigned will be in charge of one organelle/structure. Once the group is completed they must share their information with the remaining groups to complete the questions and table.
