Basic Plant Science: Plant Parts, Structures, and Functions BPS4.1 KEY

Cell Structure Chart and Diagram

This chart and diagram will serve as guided notes when learning the parts of a plant cell.

Cells – Basic Units of Life

Nucleus: Large membrane enclosed structure;

contains DNA; controls the cell

Cytoplasm: Fluid portion of the cell outside

the nucleus

Organelle Classification Organelle Function

Cellular Control Center Nucleus Contains DNA; Controls Cell

Store, Clean-up, Support Vacuoles Store Materials

Store, Clean-up, Support Vesicles Store and move materials

between cells.

Cell Analogies

With a partner, complete and give a presentation together on one of the options below.

Each partner should take equal responsibility in the creation and presentation of the

project.

A. Field Trip: You are a travel agent planning a trip for a customer who is taking an

international trip to Cell City (a generic cell that contains ALL parts). It is your

responsibility to come up with an itinerary for how they will spend their days visiting

the organelles within Cell City on the trip. The order of “locations” (aka – organelles)

that they visit should indicate the relationship between these locations (i.e. why visit

this organelle before this one?) For each stop on the itinerary, you will provide an

explanation of what they will be doing at that stop. (This is how you will show your

understanding of what the cell uses that organelle for)

B. Amusement Park: Similar to the maps, you pick up at an amusement park – you will

create a brochure type map (on a poster or paper) that would guide visitors through a

day trip to the cell. The order of attractions that the guests visit should indicate a

relationship between the attractions (structures). Included in the map should be a

description of what will be experienced at each attraction (cell part). This portion will

indicate that you understand what the cell uses that organelle for.

C. Board Game: Thinking of games that have to follow a specific path (Candy Land,

Chutes & Ladders) design your own board game that includes all the cell parts as stops

on their way through the game. Included in the game you should, somehow,

incorporate the functions of each organelle and consider their order/relationship in

the layout of the game.

D. Sports team: You will choose a part of the sports team and tell how it relates to one of

the 12 organelles listed below. In addition, you will incorporate relationships among

parts of the team, so you can see which organelles work together. Do this for EACH

of the organelles. (Example: The cell membrane is like a goalie on the soccer field

because it regulates what enters the cell, much like the goalie attempts to regulate

what enters the goal. The goalie works closely with the fullbacks because they also

regulate what enters the area of the goal.)

E. Parts of a car: You will choose a part of the car and tell how it relates to one of the 12

organelles listed below. In addition, you will incorporate relationships among parts of

the car, so you can see which organelles work together. Do this for EACH of the

organelles. (Example: The cell wall is like the sheet metal of the car because it makes

the car look shiny and beautiful, like the cell wall makes the cell look shiny and



beautiful for the organism to show off. The sheet metal works closely with the glass of

the windows…etc.)

F. Positions/parts within a school: You will choose a part of the school and tell how it

relates to one of the 12 organelles listed below. In addition, you will incorporate

relationships among parts of the school, so you can see which organelles work

together. Do this for EACH of the organelles. (Example: The lysosome is like the

mascot because it goes around cheering on the parts of a cell much like the mascot

cheers on the players. The mascot works closely with the students because…)

Plant Cartography Evaluation

Students will create a "map" of plant systems parts. This can be done on poster board, large

paper or using an online mind mapping account. Students will label the different structures

including representations of the functions for both monocots and dicots.
