Enrichment Post #3

Try this virtual animal cell pinning game to see if you can learn to recognize the parts of an animal cell!

Simply click on the part name and see if you can match it to the right pin on the cell.

Good luck!

We'll be talking more about about plant and animal cell over the next two weeks!

Yes...we will be doing this soon, but I thought it would be good to see how much you could gain by playing the game in advance!

This would be more helpful once we learn about everything, but beside that it is a nice thing to have.

This game was a little hard but todays lesson helped a lot I knew most of the stuff. One question that I have is that whats the difference between Nucleus and a Nucleolus?

Hey Gunjan,

The nucleolus is a sub-part of the nucleus that is responsible for creating the ribosomes. Due to the fact that the ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, the nucleolus is extremely important!

Great question...as usual. This is one of the organelles that I wasn't going to cover but I think you should keep digging and earn as much as you can!
