Eukaryotic Cells

Hello there!,

          This week we have finished another whole topic on eukaryotic cells. This week,the  classes were absolutely fun and exciting. We did a lot of games on eukaryotic cells.Each group were assigned several subtopics and we were entrusted to produce an interesting game for the whole class to participate in and enjoy learning the topic. Alhamdullilah, all games were a success and everyone enjoyed it together.

          The first game were handled by the first group which did a quiz on Kahoot and the quizzes covered the subtopic on flagella and others .My teammates and I did a game on subtopics: lysosomes,peroxisomes and ribosomes. We did a flip card game which one representative of each group will try to answer the given questions and if it is correct, the person will get a chance to flip and match 2 cards. Well, in my opinion, it was a hard-to-score game.Then, we played a crossword puzzle with punishment for those who answered wrongly. I hate the punishment. We also played a bingo game on mitosis and meiosis. It was very confusing. Other than that, we also played a game called Racing with the Organelles and the last game we played was musical chair.

          From all the games that we had played, I learned a lot about eukaryotic cells.Algae , protozoa , fungi, plants and animals are  eukaryote.

The eukaryote have membrane bounded organelles and membrane bounded nucleus unlike prokaryote.During the lesson ,I can refresh my memories on the function of each organelles as learned in high school, such as:

Mitochondria:To synthesis ATP for energy

Chloroplast:For photosynthesis

Golgi Apparatus:To sort, pack and modify molecules like protein.

Ribosomes:For protein synthesis

Lysosomes:To digest pathogens, dead and damaged organelles.

Peroxisomes:Sites for oxidation of amino acid, fatty acid and alcohol

Endoplasmic Reticulum:For protein and lipid synthesis

Nucleus: Contain hereditary information such as DNA and RNA

Cytoplasm:Contain  microfilaments, intermediate filaments and microtubules.

Provide support and shape 

Other that that , there is also cilia for movement , glycocalyx, plasma membrane and some have cell wall. We also learned about mitosis and meiosis in eukaryote.The process involved are shown as below: 

      Basically, the lessons that we learned this week is to jog our memory on what we have learned before. It was super interesting because of how the games are presented.It was fun.I hope everyday, everyone can enjoy the lesson like this.
