2. What do you remember? A B C D

3. We are learning to:
State the differences between bacterial and fungal cells
Use our knowledge of cell structure and function to explain how cells are categorised

4. Fungal cells e.g. yeast
Which structures do fungal cells like yeast have in common with a plant cell?
Is yeast a plant cell? Explain your answer
Which structures do fungal cells like yeast have in common with an animal cell?
Is yeast an animal cell? Explain your answer

5. Bacterial Cells
Which structures do bacterial cells have in common with plant cells?
Can bacterial cells be classed as plant cells? Explain your answer
Which structures do bacterial cells have in common with animal cells?
Can bacterial cells be classed as animal cells? Explain your answer
What feature do bacterial cells have that plant, animal or fungal cells do not have?
Chromosome
Plasmid
A plasmid is a circular piece of genetic material. It can be used to transfer a gene from one organism to another

6. Practical
Your teacher will show you how to prepare slides of plant, animal and fungal cells
In your groups you should be thinking about what the different types of cells have in common and how they are different
