1. Cells: Building Blocks of Life
1st Quarter

2. A cell that contains a nucleus.
Eukaryotic cell-
A cell that contains a nucleus.

3. Two types of eukaryotic cells.
Animal cell
Plant cell

4. Prokaryotic-
A cell that does not have a nucleus.

6. Cell membrane- the layer through which substances pass in and out of the cell. 

7. Cell membrane

8. Cell Wall- The outermost layer of plants cells.

9. Plant cell wall

10. Nucleus –
found in eukaryotic cells; contains DNA. The control center for the cell.

11. The job of a nucleus is to be the control center of the cell
The job of a nucleus is to be the control center of the cell. The nucleus in a human cell has forty-six chromosomes. This stores the instruction of the cell's activity. The nucleus is like a vault. It contains the cell's DNA.

14. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) - Heredity material that controls all the activities of a cell.

16. Chromosomes-directs the activities of a cell and passes on the traits of a cell to new cells.

18. Cytoplasm-
fluid surrounding a cell’s organelles.

19. Lysosomes- digests food particles, wastes & foreign invaders.

21. Vacuoles- Stores water and other materials.

22. Mitochondria- breaks down food molecules.

23. Chloroplasts-Makes food using the energy of sunlight
Chloroplasts-Makes food using the energy of sunlight. (This process is called
Photosynthesis)

25. Endoplasmic Reticulum- (ER)
packages up proteins for release from the cell.

27. Ribosomes-
Makes proteins.

28. Golgi Body Complex- Processes and transports materials out of the cell.

29. Homeostasis Maintaining stable conditions.
Ex: sweating when running so you don’t overheat

30. Diffusion- which molecules of a substance move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration.

31. Here’s an example.

32. Let’s test this out
Let’s perform a few experiments to find out how it works.
I have a air freshner that I will spray at the front of the room. The person at the back of the room will tell me when he/she smells the scent.

33. Endocytosis - cell takes in large particles by engulfing them.

35. Exocytosis - cell gets rid of particles, opposite of endocytosis

38. The End.
