Question
- using the letters from the table in model 1, label the cell diagram with the organelle names.
- according to the table,
a. what substance is analogous to a factory manager?
b. in what organelle would this substance be found?
- using the information in question 2, which cell organelle controls the activities of the entire cell?
- which organelle generates energy to power cellular activities?
- which organelle is responsible for assembling proteins?
- once proteins have been assembled, to which organelle would they go next?
- into what organelle might the cellular products be placed?
- fill in the missing functions of cellular organelles in the table in model 1.
- starting with instructions from the factory manager (dna/chromosomes), create a flow chart to show how a protein is produced and shipped from a cell.
Brief Explanations
- Without seeing Model 1 table, we can't label the cell diagram. But generally, common organelles include nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes etc.
- DNA in the cell is like a factory manager as it contains genetic instructions. It is found in the nucleus.
- The nucleus controls the activities of the entire cell as it houses the genetic material that dictates cellular functions.
- Mitochondria generate energy (ATP) to power cellular activities through processes like cellular respiration.
- Ribosomes are responsible for assembling proteins by translating mRNA into amino - acid chains.
- Once proteins are assembled, they may go to the endoplasmic reticulum for further processing and then to the Golgi apparatus for modification, sorting and packaging.
- Cellular products might be placed into vesicles for storage or transport, or into lysosomes for degradation if they are waste products.
- Without the table, we can't fill in the missing functions. But common functions include: chloroplasts for photosynthesis, lysosomes for breaking down waste, etc.
- The process starts with DNA in the nucleus providing instructions. mRNA is transcribed from DNA and moves to the ribosomes where proteins are synthesized. The proteins then move to the endoplasmic reticulum for folding and modification, followed by the Golgi apparatus for further processing and packaging, and finally are shipped out of the cell in vesicles.

- DNA (nucleus) -> mRNA -> Ribosomes -> Endoplasmic reticulum -> Golgi apparatus -> Vesicles (shipped out of cell)
