Cell Report - PreAP MAJOR GRADE Objective: (i) investigate and explain cellular processes and (ii) analyze scientific explanations concerning the complexity of the cell, by creating a report. This report is broken down into three sections. Summarize stem cell research based on the Section 1 (30 points) Stem Cell Research: – following website: http://www.biologyjunction.com/stemcell_article.htm . The summary must be a minimum of one page (typed). The purpose is to acquaint you with scientific literature, expose you to current science research, and to allow you to analyze scientific explanations concerning the complexity of the cell. Summarize a science related article of your choice. The Section 2 (15 points) Science Article: – summary must be one to two paragraphs in length. You may choose your own source or use one of the suggested magazines. Suggested science magazines to use are: http://www.sciencemag.org/ and http://discovermagazine.com/. Please ensure to your reference(s) (be specific). Define the of structures found in Section 3 (50 points) Cell Structures: structure and function – a eukaryotic cell. Also state whether the structure is found in plants, animals or both cells. Overall, this section should include the following information: (type of cell) Title Labeled picture of a eukaryotic cell (you may print a picture; however, you must label the picture) The booklet should include at least the following (place in the order listed): Cell wall (cellulose) Lysosome Cell membrane Mitochondrion Centrioles Rough endoplasmic reticulum Ribosomes Smooth endoplasmic Genetic material reticulum Cytoplasm Vacuole Flagella or cilia Vesicle Nucleus (including nuclear Two differences between membrane and nucleolus) prokaryotic and eukaryotic Chloroplast cells Golgi apparatus Present the research material in one of the following formats: (a) Report Booklet, (b) Report Poster or (c) Report Blog. ___________________________ Due Date:
