5
What are organelles Parts of cells that perform specific actions
6
Single-celled organism
Organism that is made up of one cell Example: bacteria
7
Multicellular Organism
Organism that is made up many cells that work together Example: humans
8
Basic parts of animal cells
Nucleus Cell membrane Cytoplasm
9
Organelle that gives the cell shape and allows materials to come in and out of the cell
Cell membrane
10
Basic parts of plant cells
Cytoplasm Nucleus Cell wall Chloroplast Cell membrane
11
Cell walls No. They are found in plant cells – they hold the plant’s structure. Remember – this is why plants don’t move.
12
Cell Part Function Found in Plant Cells?
Found in Animal Cells? Nucleus Controls the cell Like the brain YES Cell membrane Controls what comes in and out of the cell Cell wall Protects the cell And provides support NO Cytoplasm Holds the organelles in place and contains nutrients Chloroplasts Makes food for the plant cell *Photosynthesis YES
13
Unicellular organisms - reproduction
Split in two or in half
14
Unicellular organisms – waste removal
Organelles move the waste outside the cell membrane
15
Bacteria – single celled organism, no nucleus
Amoeba – single celled organism, has nucleus Algae – singled celled organism, has chloroplasts, live in water
16
Microorganisms Very small living things that cannot be seen without a microscope
17
Bacteria Harmful Helpful Algae Fungi Protozoa
Poison Strep throat Salmonella Helps break down food we eat Eats harmful microorganisms Make yogurt and cheese Algae Red Tide algae can poison fish Creates oxygen for animals to breathe Fungi Mold on food Make food spoil Kills crops Athletes foot Decomposer Mushrooms are food Protozoa Causes malaria Food for animals in water Removes harmful chemicals from sewage
