Exercise 3
The Cell

Objectives:
1. To identify the different structure and function of animal cells .
2. To compare the different types of animal cells.
3. To identify the different stages of mitosis and meiosis.

Procedures:
1. Label the structure of a typical animal cell.

1
 2. Enumerate the organelles found in a typical cell. Describe each as to structure
and function.
Organelle Description Function
Nucleus is a large organelle that stores the command center
cell’s DNA

Ribosome they can be found floating freely in protein factories of the cell
the cell’s cytoplasm or embedded
within the endoplasmic reticulum

Endoplasmic reticulum is a membranous organelle that studded with ribosomes and are
shares part of its membrane with involved with protein manufacture
that of the nucleus.

Golgi apparatus These processed proteins are then If the proteins from the rough ER
stored in the Golgi or packed in require further modification, they
vesicles to be shipped elsewhere in are transported to the Golgi
the cell. apparatus
Chloroplasts contain a pigment known as serve as the site of photosynthesis
chlorophyll, which captures the
sun’s energy to transform water and
carbon dioxide into glucose for food
Mitochondria oval-shaped organelles found in powerhouse of the cell
most eukaryotic cells

 3. Examine the slides of simple squamous epithelium, smooth muscle cell and human
blood. Note the similarities and differences of each cell. Draw each cell type.

Simple squamous epithelium

Smooth muscle cell

3
Human blood

4
a. How do these three cell types differ in shape?

Simple squamous epithelium is like a box, smooth muscle cell is like a fibers
and human blood cell is a circular shape

b. Do any of these cells lack a cell membrane? Which cell lack a cell
membrane?
All of them have cell membrane

c. Do any of these cells lack a nucleus? Which cell lacks a nucleus? All of them
don’t have nucleus

4. Draw the different stages of mitosis and meiosis. Use another sheet of bond
paper if necessary. Label properly.
