INVESTIGATE CELL SHAPE AND FUNCTION Part I- Virtual Lab

What I will be learning....

I will learn how the shape of a cell is related to the function of a cell

Why I will be learning this...

I will be able to relate cell shape and function to human health

How will I know I learned it.....

I will be able to use the virtual microscope activity to identify cell function by their structure

Standard Bio 2.2 

We will carry out an investigation to determine the 

1. Structure and Function of Cells 

2. the proportion and quantity of organelles

3. the shape of cells resulting in specialized functions

This will be a brief lab.  Today we will use the virtual microscope.  We will continue this investigation in Part II, with a look through real microscopes.  Go to the following link: https://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/cells/microscope/ 

Our virtual microscope lab will begin with a model of the human respiratory system ( the lungs).   Follow the instructions and answer the questions.
