Eukaryotic Cell Structure & Function Lecture Materials

These are the Eukaryotic Cell Structure & Function Lecture materials of the Virtual Microbiology Classroom. The resources below are used to supplement an actual college microbiology course. Anyone taking, teaching or interested in biology may find these materials helpful and is welcome to use them.

The Eukaryotic Cell Lecture materials include:
  • a list of learning objectives
  • a PowerPoint lecture 
  • a homework assignment  
  • additional required readings
  • practice test questions
  • review questions
  •  links to additional educational materials

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
These lecture learning objectives are  a study guide based on the VMC Eukaryotic Cell Structure & Function Lecture PowerPoint Show:

  • ​Know the structural components of eukaryotic cells (organelles & other cellular components). 
  • Know which cellular components are found only in eukarotes, only in prokaryotes and those found both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
  • ​What is the endomembrane system and what does it do? Do prokaryotes have an endomembrane system?
  • Name and describe two energy-producing organelles in eukaryotic cells.

LECTURE POWERPOINT
Versions of Eukaryotic Cell PPT:​

Fill-in-the-Blank Format: 
All of the lecture PowerPoints used in the Virtual Cell Biology Classroom are fill-in-the-blank format to encourage students to pay attention and follow along during the presentation. 

Printing: 
The best way for students to print out the PowerPoint Show is to download the PDF version. Select Print, and, when the Print screen comes up, go to the Print Handling options. Under Page Scaling, select "Multiple pages per sheet", Under Pages per sheet, select "2". That uses up less paper, placing two slides on each page.

EUKARYOTIC CELL STRUCTURE & FUNCTION HOMEWORK
This assignment is a tool designed to help students review eukaryotic cell structure from an infectious disease perspective, while allowing the instructor to assess the class' understanding of the material. 

REQUIRED READINGS
Here is what you need to read, in addition to the PowerPoint, to master this topic. Check Moodle & your textbook for additional readings.

PRACTICE TEST & REVIEW QUESTIONS
These multiple-choice / matching practice test questions and essay review questions are designed to help you better understand the material from this lecture.

Watching the movement of colored wax blobs in a lava lamp is an excellent way to help students understand how organelles of the  
eukaryotic endomembrane system work together to 
ship materials around 
within the cell.
