by Fred Goerisch

Las Vegas, Nevada

OBJECTIVES:

6.1 TSW review the cell theory

6.2 TSW identify the major organelles found in a typical cell

6.3 TSW describe the function of each major organelle

6.4 TSW compare plant and animal cells.

6.5 TSW explain that cancer is the uncontrolled division of cells.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: Complete one "layer" before going on to another layer. No more than 3 assignments will be signed off, by your teacher, on any one day, in any layer. Each assignment has a point value based on the amount of time and effort necessary to complete that task. You must earn the required number of points in any one layer before moving to the next layer.

For book assignments be prepared to discuss and answer questions about each of your assignments. Failure to do this w --ill result in no credit for that assignment.
