Assignment 1: Living Cells

Please answer the following questions to the best of your ability.

Part 1 (5 questions): Knowledge requirement 3 is being assessed. A grade of A-F will

be assigned based on the descriptors in place for knowledge requirement 3 within

the Local Course Plan.

1. Below is a diagram reproduction of two living cells – Cell 1 and Cell 2.

F). Please name them.

A:

B:

C:

D:

E:

F:
2. Name two organelles or cell components found in a Cell 1 that is not found in Cell

2 and explain why?

Answer:

3. Both Cell 1 and Cell 2 differ from bacterial cell types. What is one major

difference?

Answer:

4. Cell 1, Cell 2 and bacterial cells all possess ribosomes. What is the function of the

ribosome? Where in Cell 1 and Cell 2 are ribosomes made?

Answer:

5. Below are three raw (unaltered) images of carpet moss cells (A-C).

A B C

a). Which image was taken with the lowest objective (lowest magnification) and which
image was taken with the highest objective (highest magnification)? Explain your
answer as clearly as possible.

Answer:

b). Using the printed-out version of the images above and knowing that the black
scale bar in each image represents 100 m, calculate the actual size of one carpet
moss cell (length) and one chloroplast. Please show all workings, justifying the image
you chose (A, B or C) to calculate the cell and organelle size. Feel free to draw on
the printed-out version of the images to assist you in reaching an answer.
