Pre-Game Discussion Questions
What is a cell? What is an organelle? What are the major parts of the cell? What is a virus (if you don't know the definition, an example will do)? What functions does a cell need to perform to survive?
Post-Game Discussion Questions
According to the game, what are five life functions of cells? What is the difference between a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell, and why did she think that this one is probably eukaryotic? Explain what the following cell structures do: cell membrane, Golgi apparatus, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, rough endoplasmic reticulum, ribosome, vacuole, lysosome, cytoplasm, mitochondria, and nucleus. Why does the cell create many mitochondria? Have a debate - which organelle visited in the game do you think is the most important? Use the images in the game to sketch the shape of each organelle.
