PRINTING:​ The best way for students to print out the PowerPoint Show is to download the PDF version. Select Print, and, when the Print screen comes up, go to the Print Handling options. Under Page Scaling, select "Multiple pages per sheet", Under Pages per sheet, select "2" to conserve paper. 


EUKARYOTIC CELL STRUCTURE & FUNCTION HOMEWORK
This assignment is a tool designed to help students review eukaryotic cell structure by diagramming and labeling a eukaryotic cell. Check with your instructor to see if this homework is assigned. Even if it is not assigned, completing this assignment is a great study tool.


REQUIRED READINGS
Here is what you need to read, in addition to the PowerPoint, to master this topic. Check Moodle & your textbook for additional readings.





Watching the movement of colored wax blobs in a lava lamp is an excellent way to help students understand how organelles of the  
eukaryotic endomembrane system work together to 
ship materials around 
within the cell.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
These lecture learning objectives are  a study guide based on the VMC Eukaryotic Cell Structure & Function Lecture PowerPoint Show:

  • ​Know the structural components of eukaryotic cells (organelles & other cellular components) and the function of each. 
  • Know which cellular components are found only in eukarotes, only in prokaryotes and those found both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
  • ​What is the endomembrane system and what does it do? Do prokaryotes have an endomembrane system?
  • Name and describe two energy-producing organelles in eukaryotic cells.

The Eukaryotic Cell Lecture materials include:
  • learning objectives
  • PowerPoint lecture 
  • homework assignment  
  • additional required readings
  • practice test & review questions
