The cell
Learning goals We are learning to identify the parts of the cell. We are learning to locate the cell parts on a diagram.
Cell theory reminder 1. All living things are made up of cells. 2. All cells come from pre-existing cells. 3. The Cell is the basic functional unit of life. 4. The total activity of an organism is equal to the sum of the activities of all of its cells.
organelles Tiny structures within the cell Work together to carry out specific functions
Animal cell 1. cytoplasm 4. mitochondria 2. Cell membrane 5. vacuole 6. nucleus 3. cilia 7. chromosomes
Plant cell 8. nucleus 11. mitochondria 9. Cell wall 12. vacuole 10. cytoplasm 13. chloroplast
cytoplasm Jelly like fluid Supports and nurtures cell organelles
Cell membrane Separates inside from outside of cell Controls movement in and out
cilia Tail like structure aiding in movement of cell
mitochondria Powerhouse of the cell Releases energy for the cell
vacuole Stores water and other nutrients for the cell One large one in plants Several smaller ones in animals
nucleus Controls all cell activities
chromosomes Genetic information found in nucleus
Cell wall Protects plant cell Gives support
chloroplasts Makes food for PLANT cells
differences - Can make their own food - Cannot make their own food Plant Cells Animal Cells - Can make their own food - Cannot make their own food - Have cell walls - Do NOT have cell walls - Tend to be square or rectangular in shape - Tend to be round or oval in shape - Are relatively large in size - Are relatively small in size - Can have chloroplasts - NEVER have chloroplasts
