Lab 2 Cell Structure and Function BIO201L Student Name:Harjesika Malhi Access Code (located on the lid of your lab kit): Click here to enter text. Pre-Lab Questions: “1. Identify the major simil... arities and differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. “ similarities they both have is that they both have plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes and also DNA. “2. Where is the DNA housed in a prokaryotic cell? Where is it housed in a eukaryotic cell? “ Prokaryotic cell has the neucleoid and that is where the DNA is located. In the eukaryotic cell the DNA is located in the nucleus. “3. Name three structures which provide support and protection in a eukaryotic cell. “ the Cell wall, the plasma membrane and the peroxisomes. Experiment 1: Cell Structure and Function Post-Lab Questions “1. Label each of the arrows in the following slide images: “ A- anaphase B- prophase Onion root tip, 1000x. “2. What is the difference between the rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum? A difference they have is one contains ribosomes. “3. Would an animal cell be able to survive without a mitochondria? Why or why not? “ The main job of the mitochondria is to perform cell respiration , in this case if an animal cell doesn't have mitochondria it wouldn't be able to convert nutrients to energy and survive. “4. What is the function of a lysosome? “ Lysosome digest excess of organelles and food particles. The lysosome have organellesd that contain digestive system. Experiment 2: Exploring Cell Size Record the cell radius and time to center of the cell in Table 2. Then, calculate the surface area, volume, and surface area:volume ratio (equations provided below).
