Cell Foldable Description

1. Cell Foldable Description • Foldable is memory strategy to learn key terms • The paper will be folded in half “hotdog” style and you will make (on the front flap only) 11 cuts to the MIDDLE of the fold • The foldable should open with the front flap where you can see the inside description of the terms • Use a ruler to measure every 2 cm and make a mark • Cut to the center / to the fold and STOP • You should have FLAPS that you can fold back where you can see the inside 1

3. Foldable • Use the 12 words listed below • You must write the word, definition, it’s job within the cell (in your own words), and a picture for each of the 12 words listed below. Use pp. 61-66 to help you. NO GLOSSARY!!! Tissues Organs Organ systems DNA/RNA Protein Cell wall Cell Theory Cell membrane Nucleus Cytoplasm Chloroplasts Mitochondria

4. Cell vocabulary • A stiff wall found in plants that surrounds the cell membrane. • The “gatekeeper” for the cell, this protects and regulates what enters and exits the cell. • This network of passageways carries materials from one part of the cell to another. • These organelles capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell. (only in plants) • Most of the cell’s energy is produced within these rod-shaped organelles. • These small organelles contain chemicals that break down food particles and worn out cell parts. • These large sacs can store water, food, waste products, and other materials. • These small structures function as factories to produce proteins. Sometimes they are attached to the ER, sometimes they float freely. • These receive materials from the endoplasmic reticulum and send them to other parts of the cell. They also release materials outside the cell. • Many organelles are found floating in this gel-like substance.
