Cell Structure: Auto-tutorial
Your overall assignment is to learn Chapter 6: Cell Structure ON YOUR OWN (that's what "auto-tutorial" means!) and be ready for a Quiz (Quiz/Exam) on it. To help you I am offering you a whole lot of resources:
  • 00organelles2008.PDF: Worksheets that you received in class, but can download again if you need. Included in the worksheets is an illustration of an animal and a plant cell that you can fill out with the REGENTS. Fill out the blank chart while you watch the AP PPTs and then add from textbook reading.
     
  • 01CellOrganelles2008REGENTS.ppt: An introductory PPT.  It's a good place to start, but don't stop there! Fill out the worksheets with the animal and plant cell diagrams while watching this.
  • 02Ch06organelles12007.ppt: The first of the AP lectures. It's about the organelles involved in making proteins. Fill out the blank chart worksheet while watching this.
  • 03Ch06organelles22007.ppt: The second of the AP lectures. It's about the organelles involved in making energy. Fill out the blank chart worksheet while watching this.
  • 04Ch06organelles32007.ppt: The third of the AP lectures. It's about the organelles involved in making new cells. Fill out the blank chart worksheet while watching this.
