Summary- Cells are the basic building block for life, in which case all life is made out of cells. The human body has over one hundred trillion cells that go through 500 chemical reactions every second. I can tell that cells are living things because they reproduce, grow, respire, and they need nourishment. Most organisms are made up of multiple cells, but there are single celled organisms like bacteria. All cells come from other pre-existing cells which proves that cells reproduce. Each cell has organelles which help them function. There are many organelles, such as lysosome, peroxisome, cell membrane, mitochondria, vacuole, ribosome, and more. This week I have learned, as well as remembered a lot about the cell.
SP7: Engaging in argument from evidence- After we knew our group, the project, and our organelle my group and I thought we should equally distribute the work of research. We saw that we have to have around 3-5 SMEARS against the other candidates running for president of cell land. We decided to have one person learn a little about other organelles and two researching lysosome, our organelle. At the last ten minutes of class we looked at what we found and we had a couple pieces of information that could be used for SMEARS. We all tried to make sure that each SMEAR was supporting with evidence. Here is one of the SMEARS even though we haven't posted it: If the mitochondria is responsible for about 90% of the energy needed, imagine what happens when he takes a day off to play golf with with the nucleus. (When they fail energy is drastically lost and can lead to severe consequences like cell injury or death.) "What Is Mitochondrial Disease?" United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation. N.p., n.d. Web. 26 Aug. 2016.
XCC: Patterns- While studying cells and organelles I noticed a pattern between cells and the human body. For example, the organelle I am learning about, lysosome, is compared to the stomach acid because it breaks down food by chemical reactions. The nucleus acts as the brain of the cell, telling it what to do. The cell membrane is like the skin of the cell because it keeps bacteria from entering. Ribosomes can be compared to the tissue and blood stream because both make proteins and store them. The vacuole represents the stomach because it store food. The mitochondria converts food to energy like the fat tissue. This week I noticed how similar organelles are to parts of the human body.
