Exploring Cell Types and Tissues

Exploring Cell Types and Tissues

Activity 1:

Complete the chart below (identification and tissue function) with the aid of your text book or computer by researching each picture and matching it to the function, and tissue type to which it belongs.

Use scissors to cut and glue to paste the function in the appropriate box.

Complete activity 2 before filling in the structure function relationship.

Activity 2:Cut and glue/tape the microscope images of the various cell types into the chart below according to similar functions.

Comparison of Plant and Animal Cell Types

Are there similarities evident between cell structures??

Identify how the cells are similar for each pair.

Tissue type / Similarities

Now return to the first chart and explain how the structures of the cells aid in performing the function of the tissue.

1.Why was it impossible to put a picture of an artery cell into this activity? Explain

2.Why do some of the pictures of the cells look different? For example:

3.What tissue types are present to make a leaf?

Functions

to send communication between different cells/tissues/etc. / Provide support and storage of air and glucose / transports water and nutrients / has the ability to contract or shorten and lengthen, creating a force that can move a lever, or constrict around objects
provide support and structure in addition to photosynthesizing / provides solid structural support for organism muscles and connective tissue / Waxy moisture barrier, wraps internal parts, keeping them protected and holding them together / Provides support and structure in addition to storing. (located in stem)
moisture barrier, wraps internal parts, keeping them protected and holding them together / Storage of lipid reserves when not needed / transports oxygen and nutrients into the cells and delivers carbon dioxide and waste to elimination areas

Activity 2:
