1. Cells… The building blocks of life

2. The Cell Theory All living things are made up of cells
Cells only arise from pre-existing cells.
The cell is the basic unit of life.

3. Robert Hooke English Naturalist Was the first to use the term cell.
Looked at cork cells under the compound microscope.

4. Prokaryote (pro means NO)
Have no formed nucleus
Are unicellular (single celled organisms)
Are very disorganized.
Bacteria are prokaryotes

5. Eukaryote Have a Nucleus Have cell membrane bound organelles
Are very organized.
Can be singular or multi-cellular.
Animal and plant cells are both eukaryotic

6. The Cell Membrane Controls movements into and out of the cell
Helps maintain the shape of the cell.

7. Cytoplasm
Jelly-like material which contains materials involved in cell metabolism.
Gives the cell its shape

8. Chromosomes They are found in the nucleus.
Chromosomes contain the genes that determine an organisms characteristics.

9. The Nucleus and The Nucleolus
Serves as the control center of the cell and contains Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)
Nucleolus- Contains RNA
Nuclear membrane – Control what goes in or out of the Nucleus.

10. Mitochondria Power House of The Cell.
Creates energy rich molecules for the cell

11. Endoplasmic Reticulum
Transports materials throughout the cell.
Rough ER contains Ribosome's.
Smooth ER has no Ribosome's
Transports materials throughout the cell.

12. Ribosome's
Grain like Structures
Sites of protein synthesis

13. Golgi Bodies
Packages and secretes the proteins made by the Ribosome's.

14. The Centrioles
Involved in cell division
Are found inside the nucleus.

15. Lysosomes
Powerful chemicals that break things down.

16. Vacuoles
Store food and water.
Are much larger in plant cells.

17. Chlorophyll and Chloroplasts
Their main role is to conduct photosynthesis
Contains the green pigment chlorophyll captures the energy from sunlight
Found mainly in plant cells

18. Cell Wall
It surrounds the cell membrane and provides these cells with structural support and protection.
A major function of the cell wall is to act as a pressure vessel, preventing over-expansion when water enters the cell.

19. Differences between the 2 Cells
Animal Cell
Plant Cell
Circular Shape
Rectangular Shape
No Cell Wall
Cell Wall present
No chloroplast/chlorophyll
Chloroplast and chlorophyll
Small Vacuoles
One large vacuole
Movement
No movement
Can’t make his their own food
Can make own food (photosynthesis)
