INQUIRY QUESTION: What distinguishes one cell from another?

SYLLABUS CONTENT: investigate a variety of prokaryotic and

eukaryotic cell structures, including but not limited to:
- comparing and contrasting different cell organelles and
arrangements
To compare and contrast different organelles
and arrangements within eukaryotic cells.

I can:
• Identify organelles based on their features
• Describe the function of key organelles
All eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound internal structures called
organelles.
All organelles have internal structures that are enclosed by their own
membrane (single or double in structure).
All work together to contribute to the effective functioning of the cell as a
unit.
Many organelles have maximised their surface area available to carry out
their particular functions.
Some organelles, such as the nucleus, vacuoles and chloroplasts, can be
seen with a light microscope. Others, such as mitochondria and
ribosomes, can only be seen using electron microscopes.
One of the differences between organelles is their size. Organelles such
as the nucleus, vacuole and chloroplasts can be seen with a light
microscope. Details of other organelles such as mitochondria and
ribosomes can only be seen using an electron microscope.
