observe bacteria cells under a microscope.
-
build a model of a typical prokaryotic cell.
-
describe the function of each structure in a prokaryotic cell.
-
compare and contrast a prokaryotic cell with a eukaryotic cell.
-
observe the structures found in elodea and onion leaf cells.
-
compare and contrast a typical plant cell with a typical animal cell.
-
write an analogy for the function of each of the organelles found in a eukaryotic cell.
-
