3. Standards and Objectives I can….. classify cells as either plant or animal based on their cell parts. 7.L.3A.3 Develop and use models to explain how the relevant structures within cells (including cytoplasm, cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, lysosomes, and vacuoles) function to support the life of plant, animal, and bacterial cells.

5. Essential Question(s) Although all living things are made up of cells, how are they different?

6. Hook You are putting a puzzle together. As you work, you realize that certain pieces only fit with certain pieces. You notice various shapes and sizes that help you to construct a finished product. Well, a plant or animal cell is somewhat like a puzzle. Only certain parts will fit each. Also, various characteristics of each part help determine what and where it might be in the cell.

7. Mini Lesson “I Do” PLANT and ANIMAL CELL SIMILARITIES Both animal and plant cells have cell membranes that enclose the cell. Both are filled with cytoplasm, a gel-like substance containing chemicals needed by the cell. Both have a nucleus where DNA is stored. Both have ribosomes, protein builders of cells. Both plant and animal cells have mitochondria that use oxygen to break down food and release energy. Both kinds of cells have vacuoles that contain food, water, or waste products. (Animal cells usually have many more vacuoles than plant cells do.)

8. SIMILARITES (continued) Both have endoplasmic reticulum, where a system of tubes transports proteins. Both have Golgi bodies to distribute proteins outside of the cell.

9. PLANT and ANIMAL CELL DIFFERENCES Plant cells have cell walls that provide structure. Animal cells do not have cell walls. A few large animal cells have more than one nucleus, but plant cells ALWAYS have just one. Plant cells have chloroplasts for photosynthesis. Animal cells do not. Animal cells use mitochondria for energy production. Plants primarily use chloroplasts to produce energy. Animal cells tend to have many small vacuoles. Mature plant cells may have only one large vacuole. Animals cells have lysosomes, but plant cells do not.

10. CELLS and ENERGY Cells get energy originally from the sun. In plant cells, chloroplasts trap light energy and change it into chemical energy. The chemical energy is stored in bonds between atoms of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Atoms are the basic unit of matter. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.

11. CELLS and Energy (continued) Chemical bonds hold two or more atoms together to form molecules of sugar. Both plant and animal cells break down these molecules by breaking the chemical bond. When the bonds are broken, energy is released. Cells can either use the energy or store it. Mitochondria in plant and animal cells use oxygen to release this energy. Cells store energy from food in ATP molecules. When the cell needs energy, the ATP is broken down to release it.

12. Cells Using Information The nucleus is the control center of plant and animal cells. The nucleus contains DNA. DNA and RNA molecules work together to make proteins. Cells require thousands of protein molecules in order to work well. DNA in a cell’s nucleus determines what kind of cell it it. DNA has instructions for all of the cell’s activities. DNA doubles when a cell divides.
