St Brendan’s Sixth Form College – Pre-enrolment Task In order to give you a brief introduction to Biology and an indication of what it will be like to study this course for the next two years we would like you to complete a pre-enrolment task. The details are as shown below: BIOLOGY Year 1 The ultrastructure of eukaryotic cells and the functions of the different cellular components Complete the following tasks: Task 1. Write definitions for the following keywords and give a named example for each one: organelle, cell, tissue, organ and organ system, eukaryotic, prokaryotic Task 2. You should be able to demonstrate and apply your knowledge and understanding of the structure and function of many cellular components: nucleus, nucleolus, nuclear envelope, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER and smooth ER), Golgi apparatus, ribosomes, mitochondria, lysosomes, chloroplasts, plasma membrane, centrioles, cell wall, flagella and cilia. This task requires you to research a number of cell organelles and match the name of the organelle to their structural features and functions. Match the boxes with the organelle names to the boxes in the second column (structure) and third column (function). The boxes should be either numbered or colour coded Flattened sacs that bud into Synthesises and transports 1. Nucleus vesicles proteins 2. Mitochondria Double membrane with pores Protein synthesis 3. Cell-surface Modifies proteins, sorts Small vesicles membrane substances for secretion Double membrane, free DNA Contains chlorophyll for 4. Golgi apparatus and thylakoid membranes photosynthesis Synthesises, stores and Thin, flattened sacs with many 5. Lysosomes transports lipids and vesicles carbohydrates
