1. CELLS
Cell Structure

2. Cells Key Question: How are cells structured and organized?
Initial Thoughts:

3. Bill Nye Movie
Evidence #1: Bill Nye Movie Cells

4. Evidence #2: Notes & Diagrams
Take notes from the PowerPoint.

5. What is the difference between a single cell and cells working together?
Cell Specialization by Brainpop
Single Cells do everything by themselves;
Cells in tissues and organs divide up the work!

6. Cells are… Definition: The basic unit of life
Organizational hierarchy of organisms from simplest to most complex
Cells produce tissues  Tissues produce organs  Organs produce organ systems  Organs systems produce organisms

7. Cell Theory
All living things are made of cells

8. The discovery of cells
Robert Hooke discovered the first cells. Cork Cells were thought to have been these cells.

9. Anton von Leeuwenhoek was first to observe one celled living things
Anton von Leeuwenhoek was first to observe one celled living things. Examples of these were bacteria and parameciums.

10. Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic
Prokaryotic Cells: NO NUCLEUS
Example: Bacteria
Eukaryotic Cells: Have a TRUE NUCLEUS
Example: all cells in your body

12. Create 2 columns:

15. Directs all cell activities
FUNCTION:
Directs all cell activities
CELL PART:
NUCLEUS
With the electron microscope

16. Helps to make ribosomes;
FUNCTION:
Helps to make ribosomes;
Found inside nucleus
CELL PART:
NUCLEOLUS

17. Releases energy in the cell; the “powerhouse”
FUNCTION:
Releases energy in the cell; the “powerhouse”
CELL PART:
MITOCHONDRIA
Under the electron microscope:

18. FUNCTION:
Contains genes or instructions for cell’s activities (found in nucleus)
CELL PART:
CHROMATIN (DNA)
Under the electron microscope:

19. Converts sunlight into cell energy
FUNCTION:
Converts sunlight into cell energy
(Found in plants ONLY!)
CELL PART:

Under the microscope

20. The outer structure in plant cells; made of cellulose
FUNCTION:
The outer structure in plant cells; made of cellulose
CELL PART:
CELL WALL
Under the microscope

21. Store water, food, and waste products;
FUNCTION:
Store water, food, and waste products;
Very large in plant cells, small in animal cells
CELL PART:
VACUOLES
Under the microscope

22. What are the two parts that plant cells have that animal cells do not have?
Cell Walls
Chloroplasts

23. Draw an animal and plant cell
Using this powerpoint and the Cell Games Link, draw and label an animal and plant cell.
Cell Games:

24. Animal Cell

25. Plant Cell

30. Analysis Questions
What are the differences between a eukaryotic cell and a prokaryotic cell? Give examples of organisms of each.
What is the job of the cell membrane? Why would this be important to a cell?
Compare and contrast plant cells and animal cells. (How are they different? How are they the same?)

31. Summary Make sure this is thoughtful and thorough.
In a well developed paragraph:
What did you think before about how cells are structured? (look back at your initial thoughts)
What did you learn about how cells are structured? Be specific! (look back at your evidence section).
What evidence do you have that you learned this?
Further Thoughts
Make sure this is thoughtful and thorough.

32. Reflection
Draw a picture of how cells are organized to make complex organisms.
Cells tissues  organs  organ systems  organisms

33. Big Idea: Cells Cells are the building blocks of life
Cells tissues  organs  organ systems  organisms
Organelles each have a different job
Prokaryotic cells don’t have a nucleus; Eukaryotic cells do.
