Introduction
I. AN INTRODUCTION TO CELL BIOLOGY
Cell biology integrates principles from many disciplines, including chemistry, physics, genetics, biochemistry and physiology, for a more complete understanding of cell function. It is a branch of science which deals with the study of the cell, its structure and function. it includes the understanding and differentiation between the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell. It explores the different organelles within the cell with their functions and explains the importance of them and the cell as a whole.

Task
What are Cell Organelles?
The cellular components are called the cell organelles. These cell organelles include both membrane and non-membrane bound organelles, present within the cells and are distinct in their structures and functions.
TASK 1. MATCH ME NAE NAE
Direction: Watch the short video provided. Afterwards, be able to identify the different organelles found inside the cell and their functions through answering the matching type below. Kindly submit the answers on the email address (joy.bongalos@cbsua.edu.ph).
Watch:
Match the organelles in column A with their corresponding functions in column B.
A B
1. Plasma Membrane a. Control center of the cellular activities and is the storehouse of the cell’s DNA
2. Cytoplasm b. Responsible for transporting, modifying, and packaging proteins and lipid to targeted destinations
3. Nucleus c. Protein synthesis in all living cells that ensure the survival of the cell
4. Endoplasmic Reticulum d. Stores the food or a variety of nutrients that a cell might need to survive
5. Mitochondria e. "Powerhouse of the cell" as they produce energy-rich molecules for the cell
6. Plastids f. Essential components of the cell, where all the cell organelles are embedded
7. Ribosome g. Responsible for the cell’s metabolic activities.
8. Golgi Apparatus h. The transport system of the cell, involved in transporting materials throughout the cell
9. Vacuoles i. Helps in the process of photosynthesis and pollination, Imparts color for leaves, flowers and fruits and stores starch, proteins and fats.
10. Chloroplasts j. Sites of photosynthesis
PROKARYOTIC VS. EUKARYOTIC CELL
The primary distinction between these two types of organisms is that eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus and prokaryotic cells do not.
TASK 2. LABEL ME UP
Direction: Below is an image of the Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cell, draw their image and label each parts with arrows. Take a picture of your work and save as pdf file. Once done, submit your answer on the email address (joy.bongalos@cbsua.edu.ph).

Conclusion
CELLS
A cell is a mass of cytoplasm that is bound externally by a cell membrane. Usually microscopic in size, cells are the smallest structural units of living matter and compose all living things. Most cells have one or more nuclei and other organelles that carry out a variety of tasks.
Differentiate Prokaryotic Cell to Eukaryotic Cell
Prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells are the two types of cells that exist on Earth. There are several differences between the two, but the biggest distinction between them is that eukaryotic cells have a distinct nucleus containing the cell's genetic material, while prokaryotic cells don't have a nucleus and have free-floating genetic material instead.

Teacher Page
Dear students: Hope you enjoy our journey about exploring cell biology. Understanding all about cell, its characteristics, components and functions of those that depends in their structures. Hope you fully understand those concepts and be able to apply all your learning through performing different tasks and or sharing what you know to others. Understanding what composes of a single thing means understanding a whole concept. Thanks and God bless.
