Gizmo Warm-up
The Cell Structure Gizmo™ allows you to look at typical
animal and plant cells under a microscope. To start, click
Sample to take a sample of an animal cell. Use the Zoom
slider to see the cell at a magnification of 1000x (1000 times
larger than normal).

1. Use the up/down and left/right sliders to manipulate the


cell. Find the red arrow pointing to the centrioles. Make
a sketch of the centrioles in the space below.

2. Read the description of the centrioles. What is their function? ________________________


Organizing the movements of chromosomes during cell division.

Get the Gizmo ready:
Activity A:
• Check that an Animal cell is mounted on the
Animal cells microscope.
• Set the Zoom to 500x.

Question: Organelles are specialized structures that perform various functions in the
cell. What are the functions of the organelles in an animal cell?

1. Label: Locate each organelle in the animal cell. Label the organelles in the diagram below.
Lymosomes golgi apparatus vacuole

centrioles
vesicles

endoplasmic reticulum
nucleus envolope
