Cell Scenario 1 You eat a chocolate bar. How do the organelles in your cells work together to digest the chocolate bar?

Open Ended

Cell Scenario 2 Your cells are growing to keep up with the demands of your body. How do the organelles in your cells work together to grow?

Open Ended

Cell Scenario 3 You hit a growth spurt and the cells in your body need to reproduce to keep up. How do the organelles in your cells work together to reproduce?

Cell Scenario 4 Your cell needs to make protein to help your body do certain functions. How do the organelles in your cells work together to make and transport these proteins?

Cell Scenario 5 While exercising, your body needs to convert sugar into energy. When it does this, it produces carbon dioxide, which is toxic to your cells. How do the organelles in your cells work together to get rid of this toxic waste product?

Cell Scenario 6 You bring chicken noodle soup to your friend who has the flu. Unfortunately, this exposes you to the virus and your cells work hard to defend itself against the virus. How do the organelles in your cells work together to fight against the infection?

Multiple Choice

Your teacher has given you a plant to observe. You notice the leaves of the plant are dotted with openings. These openings are known as stomata. When open, stomata allow the plant to take in and release gases and allow moisture to evaporate, helping to draw water from the roots up into the plant. How does the presence of stomata allow cell organelles to work together?

• Stomata stop the plant’s chloroplasts from producing food and therefore increase the function of the nucleus.

• Stomata help the plant’s chloroplasts produce food and therefore increase the function of the mitochondria.

• Stomata stop the plant’s lysosomes from breaking down waste and therefore decrease the function of the nucleus.

• Stomata help the plant’s Golgi transport proteins and therefore decrease the function of the cytoplasm.
