<strong>Lab</strong> 10: Cell Structure & Funcon<br />
Quesons<br />
1. For each structure idenfied, do you think its locaon affects its ability to funcon? Why or<br />
why not? (Hint: those buried deep in the cell probably do different things than those closer<br />
to the cell membrane)<br />
2. Draw a labeled diagram of a small secon of the plasma membrane and briefly describe its<br />
structure and funcon.<br />
3. Describe the differences between animal and plant cells.<br />
4. Which of the following structures are present in both prokaryoc and eukaryoc cells? Plasma<br />
membrane, Golgi apparatus, DNA, lysosomes and peroxisomes, cytoplasm<br />
5. Where is genec material found in plant cells?<br />
6. Mitochondria contain their own DNA (circular) and have a double membrane. What explana-<br />
on for this observaon can you come up with?<br />
(Hint 1: Where else do we see circular DNA?)<br />
(Hint 2: What do you know about the relave age of eukaryoc cells?)<br />
7. How is the structure of the cellulose wall related to its funcon?<br />
8. Defects in structures of the cell can lead to many diseases. Pick one structure of a eukaryoc<br />
cell and develop a hypothesis as to what you think the implicaons would be if that structure<br />
did not funcon properly.<br />
