What are some of the structures inside a cell that help it to live and perform its role in an organism? _ mitochondria, nucleus, ribosomes endoplasmic reticulum 2. How do you think plant cells differ from animal cells? (Hint: What can plants do that animals cannot?) ____Yes. Plant cells have the ability of doing photosynthesis______ Gizmo Warm-up The Cell Structure Gizmo allows you to look at typical animal and plant cells under a microscope. On the ANIMAL CELL tab, click Sample to take a sample of an animal cell. Use the Zoom slider to see the cell at a magnification of 2000x (2000 times larger than normal). On the dropdown menu, select Centrioles. 1. Use the up/down and left/right sliders to manipulate the cell. Find the red arrow pointing to the centrioles. Make a sketch of the centrioles in the space below. 2. Read the description of the centrioles. What is their function? _______they organize the movement of the chromosomes during the division of the cell
