Cell Biology Activity Guide

This document provides an overview of cell structure and functions. It includes activities that have students explore the sizes of different objects under a microscope, label parts of bacterial and animal cell models, and compare the components of plant, animal and bacterial cells. The activities aim to teach students about key cellular structures like mitochondria, the Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus and more.

Module 2: Cell Structure and Functions

Activity 1
Part A: HOW BIG IS IT?

1. Explore the "How Big is a ?" web page at http://www.cellsalive.com/howbig.htm (or click the link on my
web page). Here you will look at objects found on the head of a pin. Your job is to rank them in order of
size on the chart below and estimate the length of each (in nanometers, micrometers, or millimeters).
The line in the bottom right corner of the screen is used to help you estimate. Sketch each of the objects.
