November 7, 2014

Today November 7, 2014 we have class activity during lecture. We have to make a game for the structure of eukaryotic cell. Other group need to participate in the games and we were sit in the big circle group. My group have made a BINGGO game based on the vacuole structure and we prepared few questions for the students . They need to complete the word BINGGO by answering the questions. My group have discuss on vacuole first.  Vacuole is a cell sap that contain dissolved organic molecules such as sugar, amino acids, pigments, oxygen, carbon dioxide and waste products. Vacuole in plant cell is larger and permanent compared to animal cell that is small and temporary. In general, the functions of the vacuole include:

·         Isolating materials that might be harmful or a threat to the cell

·         Containing waste products

·         Containing water in plant cells

·         Maintaining internal hydrostatic pressure or turgor within the cell

·         Maintaining an acidic internal pH

·         Containing small molecules

·         Exporting unwanted substances from the cell

·         Allows plants to support structures such as leaves and flowers due to the pressure of the central vacuole

·         In seeds, stored proteins needed for germination are kept in 'protein bodies', which are modified vacuoles.

 We also learnt from the other group games on another structure of eukaryote. nice day to remember :*
