3. Cells Remember A cell is the basic building block for both animals and plants Cells are extremely small (we need a microscope to see them) Animal cells contain: - –Nucleus (controls what takes place within the cell) –Cytoplasm (where the chemical reactions occur) –Cell membrane (selectively permeable, controlling what goes in / out of the cell) Cell membrane Nucleus Cytoplasm

4. Plant Cells Plant cells are similar to animal cells, containing a nucleus, cytoplasm and cell membrane However, they also contain: - –Cell wall –Vacuole –Chloroplasts Cell membrane Nucleus Cytoplasm Cell wall Vacuole Chloroplast

5. Functions You should already know the functions of the nucleus, cell membrane and cytoplasm but now you need to know the functions for the others PartFunction ChloroplastsWhere photosynthesis occurs (contain chlorophyll (which is green)) VacuoleContains cell sap (a solution of sugar and salt) helping with rigidity Cell wallMade of cellulose, which gives support to the cell

6. Task Your task is to draw out a standard plant cell, which needs to take up a whole page in your book (it needs to be neat, labelled, and colourful) Then on the other page, you need to draw a cartoon representation of the plant cell (similar to the party, which represented our animal cell) Cell membrane Nucleus Cytoplasm Cell wall Vacuole Chloroplast Cell membrane NucleusCytoplasm Cell wall Vacuole Chloroplast

7. Similarities & Differences Animal and plant cells have their similarities and differences. They both contain a nucleus, cytoplasm and cell membrane Only plants contain chloroplasts, a vacuole and a cell wall PartFunction NucleusControls what happens in the cell (but it is not a ‘brain’)! Cell MembraneControls what substances can enter and exit the cell CytoplasmWhere chemical reactions take place (jelly-like substance) Chloroplasts (Plants only) Where photosynthesis occurs (contain chlorophyll (which is green)) Vacuole (Plants only) Contains cell sap (a solution of sugar and salt) helping with rigidity Cell wall (Plants only) Made of cellulose, which gives support to the cell
