Students will be able to identify and describe the structure and function of key organelles in an animal cell.

# data[].attributes.body
What are the major organelles in an animal cell and what are their functions?

# data[].attributes.body
Explore the structure and functions of the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes through a short video.

# data[].attributes.body
In small groups, students will label parts of an animal cell using a Padlet board. Each group will describe one organelle's function.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
I've created two interactive diagrams for an upcoming open textbook for high-school level biology. The cell structure illustrations for these diagrams were generated in BioRender. Both diagrams feature a drag-and-drop labelling activity created with H5P here on Learnful.

# data[].attributes.body
Students will complete a worksheet where they match organelles with their functions and color-code an animal cell diagram.

# data[].attributes.body
Students who finish early will research how specific organelle dysfunction contributes to a disease and present their findings.

About this book

This book sheds light on how dysregulated organelle functions contribute to the pathology and progression of human diseases. To offer a broad perspective, they discuss basic, translational, and clinical aspects across scales, from molecules to cells, tissues and organisms. Rather than providing a comprehensive introduction to the field, the authors focus on recent advances in organelle research, with each chapter inviting readers to consider today's key questions in the respective field.

This book reviews the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi Appartus, Lysosomes and other membrane-enclosed organelles, demonstrating how their dysregulated function contributes to various pathologies. The chapters not only offer a platform for new perspectives but also stimulate further investigations.

Given the translational nature of this subject, this book is a valuable resource for physiologists and clinicians alike.
