For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the Biotechnology STE 8 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Cell
Parts and Function 1.

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators from
public institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator, in helping the learners meet the
standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and
economic constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent learning
activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help learners acquire
the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their needs and
circumstances.

 What’s New

Since that you understand how early scientists made significant contributions in the
cell theory, let us now have a deeper view on the cell and its structures which form an
interdependent system where one cannot function perfectly without the other.

Are you ready for a short trip around the cell? After the trip try to answer simple
questions below to test your imaginative and memory power. Enjoy the trip!!!

THE BOY IN THE CELL WORLD

by: Gerlie DL. Giuban

―Oppss!! NO MASK, NO ENTRY‖, the cell membrane said to the boy. ―I’ am the
security guard here, I’m the one in-charge of protecting this place against the threat of
COVID-19 virus but since you have one you may now enter‖, he continued. ―What do you
call this place? It’s a very big place‖, the boy asked. It is the cytoplasm, you may find
different stations here‖, the cell membrane replied. Afterwards there’s an arriving small
vehicle and it is the E.R. ―Wanna ride in? I will be going to the golgi bodies to get some
products, it is the one who packed up all the products that I will going to deliver later at the
other stations‖. ―No, Thanks. I will go to your nucleus‖, the boy answered. ―Oh, I see, just go
to the right side and you would pass through a two series bridges, the cytoskeleton and the
cell wall, after that ask ribosomes the next way because that’s very far from here and I
cannot give you the exact location.‖

The boy walked on through the two bridges and saw at the end of the bridge a very
busy worker named ribosome. ―Hi, there, can you please tell me the way to the nucleus?‖
the boy asked. ―Oh, just continue walking or you may take a join ride to lysosome it will go
to the dumping site to throw some rejected materials. I cannot accompany you since I have
to produce lots of proteins or products.‖

―Oww, there it is!! Just jump in,‖ exclaimed by ribosome to the boy.

After a long ride, he finally landed to the office of the nucleus, the manager of the
cell world. The boy saw the stockroom, secretary vacuole, and asked where is the nucleus
but the vacuole said that the nucleus is busy attending a very important meeting together
with the two energy personnel named mitochondria and chloroplast.

So the boy just go home, hoping that next time he would see the manager……

The End..

Cell Parts and Function

Living things are also made up of atoms. When atoms combine, they form the basic
biological molecules that make up life. These include carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and
nucleic acids. Combinations of these substances make up of structures that performs all
the biological processes—the cell.
Cells are like factories. They are made up structures each having specific function. A
typical cell is made up of three major parts: the cell membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm.
The cell membrane controls the entry and exit of materials across the cell. In a factory, it
is like the security guard who ensures that right transactions are done in the company.
The nucleus, on the other hand, is the control center of the cell. It controls all activities of
the cell. Lastly, the cytoplasm includes all cellular structures other than the nucleus and
the cell membrane. The cytoplasm is made up of a liquid portion known as protoplasm. It
is a jellylike substance made up of water, proteins, sugars. It nourishes the other parts of
the cell. Together with the protoplasm are tiny structures of the cytoplasm known as
organelles. They are little like organs. Each organelle has a specific function. The
cytoplasm, therefore, represents the workplace of a factory. It includes the production,
packaging and warehouse departments. Below are the different organelles of the cell
and its function.

 What’s More

Now that you are familiar with the cell parts, it is also important that you can easily
describe it’s function. Read the analogy below and try to analyze how the cell
organelles are similar with a city.

INDEPENDENT ACTIVITY 1
The Little Cell City (Part A)
Suspended around in the cytoplasm are small structures called organelles. Just like
the organs in the body, each one carries out specific function necessary for the cell to
survive. Imagine the cells as a miniature city. The organelles might represent
establishments, places or parts in the city because they have similar jobs and functions.

Below are the descriptions of important parts of the Cell City. Try to identify the parts
of the cell that best fits the description. Match the important parts of the city listed below
to the specific organelles found in the cells.

plastic cups, empty bottles, used papers, soft drinks crowns, cardboard, unused
buttons etc. Label those parts that resemble the different cell parts. Be creative!
Unmold your cell.
