All+About+Cells

===Every living organism is made up of cells and cells are made up of small structures called organelles. Whether a cell is a unicellular organism or part of a multicellular organism, they also have to be able to control which substances enter and leave the cell so that they can maintain homeostasis. You will research either an assigned cell organelle or a cell transport concept and present the information to your classmates in the form of a Wikipage.===

**What to research** :

 * # ===When was your organelle first discovered? By whom? What type of microscope was used? What do the parts of its name mean?===
 * 1) ===What is the function of your organelle? What is the general structure of your organelle? Is there anything special about the molecular make-up of your organelle (organic molecules)? How is the organelle's function related to its structure?===
 * 2) ===What type(s) of cells contain your organelle? Why? What type(s) of cells do not contain you organelle? Why?===
 * 3) ===Which type(s) of cells require large numbers of your organelle? Why? Give an example of a cell in the human body that would use your organelle.===
 * 4) ===Does your organelle work in conjunction with any other organelles? If so which ones and how do they interact?=== || [[image:Animal-Cell.jpg width="265" height="263"]] ||

What to research:

 * [[image:transport.jpg width="264" height="205"]] || # ===Explain the cell transport concept you were assigned.===
 * 1) ===What do the parts of the term mean?===
 * 2) ===When were the ideas for this cell transport concept first explored? Which scientists have been involved in the development of the concept? Which part of the world?===
 * 3) ===How does it affect an animal cell? a plant cell? Is it ever dangerous to the cell?===
 * 4) ===Give an example of how it is utilized in the human body.=== ||

What to research:

 * # ===When was the scientist alive? Where was he born?===
 * 1) ===What type of education did he receive? Where was he living when he conducted his research?===
 * 2) ===What was his major accomplishment in regards to our understanding of cells? Did he receive credit for his accomplishments during his life time?===
 * 3) ===What type of microscope die he use?===
 * 4) ===What other scientific accomplishments did he make? Did he receive an awards or honors?===
 * 5) ===Write your analogy based upon one of the contributions he made to the cell theory.=== ||= [[image:cell theory.jpg width="287" height="166" align="center"]] ||

What to research:

 * [[image:microscope.jpg width="234" height="179"]] || # ===Who invented the microscope? When and where was the it invented?===
 * 1) ===How does is work? What is its magnification power?===
 * 2) ===Which cell parts where discovered using this microscope?===
 * 3) ===What are the limitations of this microscope (what can't it do?)?===
 * 4) ===Who currently uses this type of microscope (which types of occupations or organizations?)?=== ||

Other Requirements:

 * 1) Your Wikipage must have at least 3 pictures related to your topic. Rename the picture with something unique so it doesn't replace another picture on another page.
 * 2) You must include an analogy of the cell organelle, cell transport concept, or microscope ability on your Wikipage that is explained.
 * 3) You must write 4 original objective questions about your topic (multiple choice, matching, fill-in the blank, true or false). The questions and answers should be e-mailed to Mrs. Epie by the deadline she announces in class. Do NOT post the questions/answers on the Wikipage or points will be deducted.
 * 4) You must include at least four sources for Work Cited that are not from Wikipedia or a Wikipedia-like website.
