TED Animations of unseeable cell biology by Drew Berry

Hi,
We have no ways to directly observe molecules and what they do -- Drew Berry wants to change that. At TEDxSydney he shows his scientifically accurate (and entertaining!) animations that help researchers see unseeable processes within our own cells.

Lesson 7: Organelles in cells

Hi,

You may want to view these Powerpoint slides before attempting the worksheet on this topic.
the coverage includes the following:

• onion and cheek cells
• cell organelles
  
• cell membrane-covers cell allow materials in or out of cell
  
• cell wall-covers plant cell, for support and strength
  
• cytoplasm-houses all cell organelles
  
• golgi body-processes materials and packages them for transport
  
• mitochondria-site where ATP, energy, is released during cellular respiration
  
• nucleus-contain chromosomes/DNA, controls all cell activities, involved in cell division
  
• endoplasmic reticulum-packages the proteins from ribosomes
  
• chloroplast-make glucose/food using sunlight energy
  
• vacuole-stores water, wastes and nutrients
  
• ribosome-site where protein is made
  
• centrioles- involved in cell division
