2. ALL Living things are made of CELLS
Some have many cells, they are MULTICELLULAR
Some have only one cell, they are UNICELLULAR

3. Who was Robert Hooke?
This man was the first to see cells under the microscope.
He was looking at cork and thought the compartments looked like little prison cells.

4. This is what he saw!

6. Various Animal Cells

7. Muscle Cells

8. Red Blood Cells

9. Cheek Cells

10. Animal Cell 1 They have a random shape due to the
1) Cell Membrane = a thin lipid (fat) layer that protects the cell and regulates what enters and exits the cell 1

11.  ANALOGY The air in school
The cell is filled with 2) Cytoplasm = a jellylike liquid material that holds the other organelles (‘little organs”) within the cell, give structure to the cell.

12.  ANALOGY The principal
Usually found in the center is the
3) Nucleus = a dense, rounded structure that controls the activities of the cell and hold the DNA
 ANALOGY The principal 1 2 3

13. Within the nucleus are 4) Chromosomes = genetic material inside the nucleus; made of threadlike strands (DNA) 2 1 3 4

14.  ANALOGY The generator/ lights in the building
One structure is the 5) Mitochondria = rod like cell parts that releases energy (ATP) for cell processes, the (power house)
 ANALOGY The generator/ lights in the building 1 2 3 4 5

15. Another structure is the 6) Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) = located outside the nucleus, they are channels that help transport and assemble proteins and other materials. 1 2 3 4 6 5

16. Located on the ER are the 7) Ribosomes = produce proteins needed for growth and repair of the cell (little dots on ER) 2 1 3 4 7 6 5

17. After leaving the ER, proteins enter the 8) Golgi Apparatus = modifies, sorts, and packages the proteins for later use. 2 1 3 4 7 8 6 5

18. 9) Vacuole = a storage space for food, water, and waste7 4 1 2 3 8 6 9 5

19. When all the processes are complete in the animal cell, these take over
10) Lysosomes = contain digestive enzymes that clean the cell 7 4 1 2 3 8 6 9 5 10

Cell Structures and their Functions

23. Plant Cells
One difference between animal and plant cells is that plant cells have a much more rigid exterior because they have a
1) Cell wall = surrounds the cell membrane and provides support for the plant 1

24. Plant cells do have 2) cell membranes just like an animal cell1 2

25. Plant cells have 3) cytoplasm also1 2 3

26. 1 2 3 4 5 A plant cell still has a 4) nucleus with
5) chromosomes inside 5 1 2 3 4

27. Plant cells have 6) mitochondria too5 1 2 3 4 6

28. 1 2 3 8 4 7 6 5 Plant cells also still have the 7) ER and the
8) ribosomes (little dots) 1 2 3 4 8 7 6 5

29. Again after leaving the ER, proteins enter the 9) golgi.1 2 3 4 9 8 7 6 5

30. 1 10 2 9 3 8 4 7 6 5 Another difference in plant cells is that the
10) Vacuole is MUCH BIGGER in plant cells, still stores water and nutrients, but also acts like the lysosomes found in plant cells 1 2 3 4 10 9 8 7 6 5

31. Finally, the last different structure in a plant cell is the 11) chloroplasts = small oval shaped structures that contain chlorophyll, which give plants their green color. Photosynthesis occurs here. 11 1 2 3 10 9 8 4 7 6 5
