Organelle comparison and Excel Spreadsheet Your group will be given a group of organelles or cell structures.

You will need to do the following: 1. Explain how your assigned organelles work together to perform the life function of the cell. In your explanation you should include the following: A description of each organelle or cell structure. The description should include a physical description (membrane description, relative size, location in the cell). A functional description (what function does it perform). What type of cell it is found in, include prokaryotic, eukaryotic, plant or animal or all. An explanation of why you came to this conclusion is expected. A detailed description of how the organelles or cell structures work together to perform a specific function, and what that function is. What would happen if this cooperation between the organelles or cell structures ceased to exist? Explain specific processes that would be hindered, not just the cell or organism would die. You will need to report your findings to the class. 2. Use Excel in order to create a chart to organize the information you have learned regarding the interdependence of organelles. Organize your information into categories that make sense to you, as long as you can explain it, it is acceptable. Ensure you include all the organelles/parts in the chart we completed. Be creative, play with the options in charts and tables that excel offers. Refer to the rubric.

Organelle and cell structure groups:


1. Nucleus and ribosomes 2. Endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes 3. Golgi bodies and lysosomes 4. Nucleus and endoplasmic reticulum Drawing component, draw the smooth ER 5. Endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi and vesicles 6. Endoplasmic reticulum and cell membrane 7. Mitochondria and chloroplast 8. Cell wall and cell membrane 15. Tight junctions, desmosomes, glycocalyx and gap junctions 16. Plasmodesmata and cell wall 9. Cell wall and cellulose 10. Vesicles, lysosomes, and Golgi 11. Nucleolus, nuclear membrane, nucleus 12. Central vacuole and cell wall 13. Ribosomes and nucleoid region 14. Rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum
