Reflections on the cell
This week I want you to think back about what we have learned about the cell! We have now been talking about it for the last several weeks and have covered a lot, this is your chance to tell me what you know! Take 10 minutes to reflect on what we have covered so far about the cell, don't tell me what we have done... tell me what you have learned! You may do this blog anytime between Tuesday and Sunday at midnight. Just spend 10 minutes reflecting on what we have learned so far about cells!
Enjoy!
I have learned a lot about the cell.And the definition of the cell is the smallest unit of the organism.One thing that I have learned from it is that their is 7 organelles that I have learned about, and I will talk all about them.One organelle is the Nucleus that is important because it is the one that gives directions to all other organelles.Another organelle is the ER what that does it transports proteins and other stuff to the other organelles.The third one is the Ribosome what that does is it make protein.The Cell Membrane surrounds and protects the cell from bacteria and all other bad things that could get into it.The Golgi body packages proteins and other things that other organelles need.The mitochondria is the one that makes energy.Two that we didn't talk about that much was the lysosome and the cytoplasmic they are still important just that we didn't talk about them that much.These are all important to the cell.And the cell is important animals and human beings.Another thing that I learned is the function of all the other organelles and how they all work what they do and why is it important.The last thing I learned is what is the difference of the plant cells and the animals cells and the human cells.

ReplyDeleteThere are seven organelles: the cell membrane, the endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus, ribosome, lysosome, golgi body, and the mitochondria.The cell membrane is the walls of the cell. The cell membrane keeps viruses out of the cell.The nucleus is the brain of the cell and it is the most important part of animal cells. The ribosomes makes the protein that feeds the cell. The golgi body packages the nutrients. Mitochondria turns food into energy. In conclusion, there are many parts of the cell that help it, and without one of these parts the cell would die.

I have learned that the cell has many organelles. Such as the Endoplasmic Reticulum, the Mitochondria, the Golgi Body, etc. I have also learned that each organelle has a certain job and if one of the organelles dies then the whole cell will die.
ReplyDeleteLearning about cells has been really fascinating. We have learned about each organelle and there job. We have learned how each specific organelle contributes to the cell. The cell is the smallest unit of life. Each organelle has a specific job that keeps the cell alive, which keeps you alive and well. I have learned a lot about the nucleus and its job, and how it keeps the cell alive. So in conclusion, over the past week or so, we have learned a lot about cells, and learned our learning objective.
ReplyDeleteCells are rather complex and up until recently I really didn’t know anything about them. I have learned that cells contain organelles in them which each does a specific job. Such as: the cell membrane, the ribosome, and the nucleus. Each organelle does its own specific job and the cell could not survive without every organelle. Such as the cell membrane’s job is to protect the cell from viruses it does so by monitoring what goes in and out of the protein channels. Cells were first discovered by Robert Hooke who observed that there were little things that made up a piece of cork. He called his discovery cells because they resembled small rooms. The typical cell has a mass of one nanogram and has a size of about 10 micrometers.

ReplyDeleteI have never really thought about cells, I always knew that they were there but never thought that they were all that important. This past few weeks I have learned that cells are very important to keep you alive.
I have never learned anything about cells so everything that we have learned was a total surprise to me. I never knew that there was such a thing called the mitochondria, nucleus, ribosome, cell membrane, lysosome, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, or even a vacuole.
These past few weeks I have learned that the Mitochondria makes energy give to the cell. The Nucleus stores DNA and allows the Cell Membrane to let things in and out of the cell. The Ribosome’s make protein and synthesis the cell. The Cell Membrane allows things in and out of the cell. The Lysosomes and the Vacuole get rid of waste. The Endoplasmic Reticulum gives the protein to the Golgi Apparatus. Last But not least the Golgi Apparatus packages and sends protein and other things to the rest of the organelles.
In conclusion I have learned more than I could ever imagine about the cells and how they help us stay alive. I am very happy that we have taken this time to learn more about the cells.

DeleteI've learned so much about a cell and what all the parts do to help the cell/us survive. First, I know that the Nucleus is the main controller of the cell; it runs it. Second, the Endoplasmic reticulum is the one that is around the cell, this takes nutrients out of food and protein out of the Ribosomes, which then transfers the nutrients and protein to the cell. Next, the Ribosomes produces protein and synthesizes the cell. Then, the Cell Membrane keeps out the bad things from coming in the cell like a virus which would kill it, and doesn't let the good stuff out. After that, there's the Golgi apparatus which takes care of the cells and transfers them in their special spot to function properly. Then, there's the Mitochondria it takes energy out of food and transfers it to the body to help us keep moving. There's the 6 cell organelles that helps us stay alive.

So far we have learned about most of the parts of the cells we have learned about the nucleus, E.R., lysosomes, golgi body, cell membrane, mitochondria and how each one is important. I learned the most about the E.R. since that was my group but also about others some thing I learned about the E.R. are that it transports nutrients and it is surrounding the nucleus. Also that there are three parts to the E.R. the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the ribosomes that are on the rough E.R. The interesting thing is that the ribosomes are actually more complicated than you think and they make old nutrients in to new ones. The most I learned about the mitochondria is that they break down nutrients to make it easier for the cell to transport them. Also the main thing I learned about the nucleus is that it is the brain of the cell and has DNA inside it and it is viruses main target. The cell membranes job is very important to the cell because it holds everything together and keeps out most viruses. The golgi body’s job is to package the nutrients to send off the the E.R. to provide to the cell. The biggest thing I learned is that cells are super complicated and are the basic building blocks of life.
ReplyDeleteHello Mr Andrews well I learned a lot of things about one of all the things learned about cells is what is the name of itch one of the cell and what is the work of itch cell and how they doet .
ReplyDeleteWhat I have learned about cells these past several weeks is for one they are the basic building blocks of life. The next is that all living organisms have them. They come in two forms basic and complex. A basic form is bacteria which can't live without taking control over complex cells. A complex cell is like an animal cell or a plant cell. These can survive mostly on there own but it also helps to have other cells that are a different type. Like white blood cells can help out red blood cells so viruses don't kill them.
ReplyDeleteI learned a lot about the cell. For example, I learned that all our DNA, our genetic code, is held in the nucleus. It is what makes us who we are, and at every moment, viruses and other nasties are trying to take over that nucleus, so that it can reproduce itself and we will have a terrible illness, coming from the inside. I also learned that we have our own internal defense systems. I've studied the human body before, and read my mother's medical books, but I never knew how our cells worked exactly, and now I do. I also learned exactly how we get sick. How the virus has a key, how it tricks the cell membrane, tricks all the defense systems. How it gets past our internal defenses, and we get sick. I still don't quite know how an antibiotic works, and I think it would be cool. Does the antibiotic attack the virus like the antibodies, or does it eat it away like the recyclers that killed the virus in the video? I learned how the cell membrane works, because that was my organelle. I also learned how some of the other organelles work. For example, the Golgi Apparatus packages special proteins. I also learned how some organelles can be faulty, or tricked. But, the cell is also extremely protected.
ReplyDeleteI have learned that cells need many different parts to live. They all work differently to help the cells to be alive. They all have different jobs.The nucleus helps control eating, moving, and reproduction. The E.R. is a site for ribosomes to translate RNA and proteins. The ribosomes make protein. The cell membrane blocks the viruses from the cells. The golgi body transport and package protein to each part of the cell. The mitochondria breaks down nutrients to make energy. And finally the lysosome breaks down organelle and packages up dangerous things and sets them out of the cells.
ReplyDeleteI have learned that the nucleus holds DNA and is the brain of the cell. The mitochondria makes all of the energy, the cell membrane controls what goes in and out, and the golgi apparatus or body packages stuff so that it can be delivered throughout the cell. Ribosomes make nutrients to help power the cell. I could go on and on it was fun learning about cells. TS
ReplyDeleteWhat I have learned so far about cells are, without these cells we wouldn't be alive. We wouldn't be abed to do any of the amazing things we can do today if we didn't have theses cells. I also learned that every cell is important because without one cell the other cells wouldn't be abled to work, that's why we need every cell. I learned that all the cells have to work together to keep the body going. I also learned about every cell and what they do to help. I also learned and saw a video on how it works and it is a really fast process and very complicated.
ReplyDeleteWell, we have learned alot because of our awesome teacher, but there are tops that are worth highlighting, like the virus is is a little army that floods though your system and eventually take over the cell, what am i saying i havent even explained the cell yet. The cell is a complex microscopic society inside our blood and many other places too. The cell has workers inside of it that keep the cell alivre amd well. Along with many other things the cell is a single cell organism. One of the most breathing thing is how the cell works on the inside. The things that keep it alive are called organelles. These work together to manufacture and produce protien for the cell. In a way they work together to be kinda of a factory. The cell membrane works as the walls only letting through the good stuff and kepping out the bad stuff. The nucleus is the one that rules them all and gives the directions to the 'workers' so they know what to do. The mitochondria makes energy for the cell to use to work. The E.R. is a system that transports protiens to various parts of the cell. The golgi body is orgenenelle that converts protien to where it will help the cell. There are may more organelles but i cannot think of them off the top of my head. But these ones are pretty important as they are what keeps the cell going. This is what we learned in the weeks of late september to early october.
ReplyDeleteSo far over the last couple weeks I have learned what cells do and where they are in a cell. Like how the nucleus is like the control center of the cell. I also learned that the nuclear porous controls what enters and exits the nucleus. Which is a great thing for the cell. Another thing I learned was that if one part of the cell was gone would not be living and nor would any living thing be alive. So that's why cells have a huge part in life.
ReplyDeleteThis week I learned a lot about the cell, for example all of its organelles. A organelle is what makes up the cell, some of which include the cell membrane, ribosome, golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and the nucleus. The cell membrane is what holds the whole cell together, it is like your skin. It also controls what goes in and out of the cell. The ribosome makes protein and is composed of two parts, small and large subunit. TRNA and MRNA are also part of the processes. MRNA is the messenger rna. It is the one that goes out of the nucleus and attaches itself to the ribosome. Then TRNA comes in and reads the message to make the protein needed. The golgi apparatus then packages the protein and sends it off to the other endoplasmic reticulum or the ER. The mitochondria is what make the energy for the cell. It also makes nutrients and breaks them down. The Mitochondria has 2 membranes that protect the outside and inside of the cell. The finale organelle is the nucleus and it gives order to the organelles and controls eating, movement, and reproduction. The nucleus is in the middle of the cell and not in the side, because it can be a very dangerous place to be. Inside the cell is something called the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm is what fills the cell and what the other organelles move in. This is mostly what I learned about a cell and I never would have thought is was this complex.
ReplyDeleteI have learned a lot about cells these past few weeks, I didn't really know much about them. I never really learned about them. But now I know a bunch about them. For instance the main parts of the cell like the cell membrane, mitochondria, nucleus, ribosome, ER, and the golgi body. I also know the organelles functions. The cell membrane keeps the bad things out and keeps the good things in. The mitochondria spreads energy around the cell. The nucleus creates a membrane similar to the cell membrane. The ribosome spreads protein around the cell. The ER creates nutrients and spreads it around the cell. Finally, the golgi body packages things. These are the things I learned these past weeks.
ReplyDeleteI have learned a lot about the cell. The nucleus control what the cell does like move and reproduce. Also, The E.R is what makes the protein with the help of the ribosomes. The Golgi Body packages and sends out protein to the cell. The Mitochondria is what makes the energy for the cell. The cell membrane is what protects the cell from harmful stuff and if it's a plant it also has the cell wall which does the same. That is what I learned about the cell.
ReplyDeleteIn these past weeks learning about cells I learned a lot of things I did not know already before starting seventh grade. So far this year I have learned that in a cell there are different parts on pieces to make it do it powerful job. Such as the Ribosome that can turn different types of RNA into protein to fuel all the other organelles. Another thing I learned it that if a virus reaches the nucleus it will make that cell sick and then you will get sick all together. Finally I learned that cells reproduce by just simply copying their DNA and splitting in half.
ReplyDeleteSince we have been studying the cell these past weeks I have learned many things about it that I had never known. I have since learned much about the cell membrane which was my organelle and I cannot believe how advanced it is. not mentioning the trillions of cells it protects it has evolved so much that chemicals have a key to enter and leave the cell. I also learned about the nucleus, and how it controls the cell and is the brain. The E.R., Golgi Body and the mitochondria all working together to spread protein throughout the cell. I also learned about ribosomes, chromosomes, and the mitochondria in the cell. Each part being so important relying on the others functions. But the main thing that I have learned is that there are 100’s of trillions of cells in your body and that they all work together to make you! And That is what I have mainly learned.

Lately in science we have been learning about the organelles in the cell and their function. To help us understand the concept a bit further we have created cell analogy posters, playing cell survivor, created plays in organelle group, and watched videos. For my cell analogy poster I had began to understand the concept of organelles and their job in the cell. For instance, I had learned that the nucleus runs the cell, the E.R. (endoplasmic reticulum) carries things around the cell and etc.. From the cell survivor game we had learned more in depth about what each organelle does from other students and their importance to the cell. For example, we had learned how each organelle supports one or several life processes (MRS. GREN). The plays from each organelle helped you learn more about your organelle (mine was the golgi body), be able to compare each organelle to the things around you, and touch a little more into the specific words and topics about each organelle. The videos we had watched was a video about how a cell fights off a common virus and helped us understand how complex each cell is. It had made me want to study cancer. Overall this past week has really helped us learn about the organelles and their functions.

Over the past few weeks I have learned a lot about cells. There are many organelles inside the cell. The cell membrane, which is the skin of the cell. It keeps good things in and keeps bad things out. Another organelle is the nucleus. It is the brain of the cell and protects the DNA inside the cell and gives instructions on what to do. Another organelle is the Mitochondria. It makes energy that the cell uses to do things. Nothing could operate without Mitochondria. Another organelle is the ER. it is basically the highway and it transports goods to all of the organelles. Another is the lysosome. It basically finds dead organelles and decomposes them to make a new one. Another organelle is the Golgi Body. It takes protein from the ribosome and packages it to send to other organelles. The last organelle is Ribosome. It was the one I was assigned. I learned a lot about it. Ribosome makes proteins for the cell. They are very small and are all over the cell. This week we went more into detail about the organelles. We made plays to explain it. My play was especially hard to come up with something because ribosomes are very complicated. The ER takes the DNA from the nucleus and delivers it to the large and small subunits. They make the DNA into protein. Then the Golgi Body packages it and sends it to the ER to be delivered to the other organelles. The past few weeks have been a lot of fun and I learned a lot about cells and organelles.

ReplyDeleteThe cell is so amazing! I have learned that all of the organells in your cells have to work together to fight off bacteria. Also that all the tiny organells play a big part, and they all do a different job. There are also two different kind of cells animal, and plant cell. Cells are the building block life. There would be no life on this planet without cells.
ReplyDeleteFor the last couple of weeks we have been learning a lot about cells. We learned about all the organelles of the cell. The nucleus, the nucleus is like the brain of the cell and it is also where DNA and genetic codes are stored. The Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R.), the E.R. is like the mail man of the cell they take packaged protein and transport them to whatever part of the cell they are needed at. The Golgi Apparatus or Golgi Body, the Golgi Body is where proteins are aided and packaged to be sent to the E.R. The ribosomes, the ribosomes make the proteins. Proteins are super important to help fight virus and keep the other organelles doing their job. The mitochondria, the mitochondria creates energy for the cell by breaking down glucose. The cell membrane, the cell membrane is a super important part of the cell it it keeps the bad things out of the cell and it let the good things in. The lysosomes are like garbage disposals, they digest or get rid of bad virus, food particles and worn out organelles. I also learned how proteins move through the cell. They start in the ribosome where they are created, then they are transferred to the Golgi Body where they are aided and packaged for transportation. The proteins then make there way to the E.R., here they are transported throughout the cell and organelles. I can’t wait to learn even more about cells in years to come.
ReplyDeleteWhat I have learned from the cell is that it makes up all living things. Also that it is like a mini community one thing provides nutrients, one gets rid of waste, etc. Personally I had the cell membrane and it watched what comes in and out of a cell. But every organelle helps make the cell a mini community.

I have learned how cells and their organelles work. I learned that cells have a nucleus, membrane and/or a cell wall, an endoplasmic reticulum, ribosome, Golgi apparatus and, mitochondria. Also, I learned what each of the organelles do. Like, the cell membrane keep viruses out,the nucleus controls the cell, and the ER makes food for the cell. thise are only a few though.

ReplyDeleteOver these last few weeks that we have been studying cells I have learned that cells are the building blocks of life and that all living things have them. Cells are made up of smaller bits called organelles. The organelles work together like a community, each organelle has a certain job to do that keeps the cell alive and the cell can not survive without any part of it. Each organelle has special properties and functions that help it do its job and each works towards the survival of the organism that it is supporting by either providing nutrients, providing protection, or storing things like the DNA of the organism.

A few things I have learned about the cell was that without the nucleus is the main control for the whole cell and that it holds DNA. If a virus were to get to the nucleus, the whole cell would be done for. It wouldn't work anymore, the virus would take over the cell and make the cell go bad. Another thing I learned was that if one of the organelles of the cell was to be taken away, the cell would fail and no longer work. Each and every single organelle plays a different part in the cell. The cell would then die.
ReplyDeleteWe have learned about the many different parts of the cell and what they do. The first one is the Nucleus, which gives commands and directions to all other organelles. The second organelle is the Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R.) which transports protein or other food to all necessary organelles. The next is the Golgi Body which packages the nutrients, and whatever else is needed so it can get there safely. The “power house” of the cell is the Mitochondria, which makes the energy that the cell uses to do all its functions. Fifth, the Ribosomes make proteins that make up some of the cell and is used by the cell to let the organelles do their job. The cell membrane or cell wall (only in plant cells) which protects cells from things that may harm the cell. Lysosomes are like garbage disposals which get rid of waste or dead parts of the cell to either get out of the cell. Or get recycled into new organelles. Next to last are the cytoplasm and cytoskeleton, the cytoplasm is the fluid that the organelles float in. The cytoskeleton is what provides support to the cell. Finally is the vacuole which only is in plant cells. The vacuole is the storage area for the cell where food or any other things can be stored for future use. In conclusion that is what we have learned about the parts of cell the past few weeks.
ReplyDeleteI remember that we where doing Mrs.gren and that helped me so much.
ReplyDeleteI learned that cells have a lot of forms of security and ways to keep it healthy. Also how the cell functions and the organelles.
ReplyDelete~ Antonio Pulido
This past week or so I have learned a lot about cells. I have learned about all the different cell organelles and about all of their functions which is very interesting. Some examples are nucleus, golgi body, Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R.). The golgi body is typically the post office of the cell. It packages and delivers proteins throughout the entire cell. The E.R. collects nutrients and distributes it around the cell. This nutrients is then later converted into energy. And The nucleus is kind of like the control center of the cell. It contains and protects everything in the cell. The nucleus is like the home base of the cell. Those are some of the organelles that I have learned about. And I have also learned about several other organelles and their functions. Those are just some of the basic organelles that I have learned about.
