demonstrate your knowledge of cell structures by:
Identifying if each structure is found in animal cells, in plant cells, and/or in bacterial cells. Structures can be found in one, two or all of these.
Identifying what each structure looks like.
Identifying what each structure does.
Cell structures:
DNA
Nucleus
Cell wall
Ribosomes
Chloroplast
Mitochondrion
Golgi apparatus
Plasma membrane
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Level-up
Add these structures to your answer from above:
Cytosol
Lysosome
Nucleolus
Peroxisome
Cytoskeleton
Secretory Vesicles
Assignment – Part C
Antibiotics (more accurately called antibacterials) are used to treat infections because they kill bacterial cells without too much harm to the patient. Antibacterials should target structures that are present in bacteria but not in the human patient.
Would the cell wall be a good target for an antibacterial? Why or why not?
Would the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum be a good target for an antibacterial? Why or why not?
Ribosomes are a good target for antibiotics even though both patient and bacterial cells have these structures. Why can antibiotics target bacterial ribosomes without harming the patients cells? [This one will take a bit of research; be sure to cite your sources].
