1. CELLS

2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
4. I know that cells are the basic unit of all life and I can describe the functions that cells/life forms must carry out. 5. I know that single-celled organisms have parts to help them carry out all of life’s functions. 7. I know that plant and animal cells have parts in common and parts that are different in order to carry out life functions. 8. I can use a diagram or model to explain the difference between plant and animal cells.

4. CELLS
Cells are the smallest unit of LIFE! They are the building blocks of LIVING things.
No matter if an organism has ONE cell or many, they share the same basic parts.

5. Inside the cell, are structures (parts) called ORGANELLES (means “little organs”)
Each organelle has a certain function (job) to do.

6. ***We are only learning about the basic organelles; there are others which you might hear about in the reading and activities but you will not be tested on those.

7. Fill in the Table as we go
Cell part is given,
Write in any functions
Note the pictures that go with each part

8. CYTOPLASM CYTOPLASM GEL- like material inside the cell. Mostly water

CYTOPLASM
GEL- like material inside the cell.
Mostly water
The other organelles “float” in cytoplasm
“Cyto” means cell
“-plasm” means jelly

9. CELL MEMBRANE “GATEKEEPER”—controls what goes in and out of the cell.

VACUOLES
Stores WATER, food, and waste products. Usually larger in PLANTS.

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

23. Cells on the light microscope

24. Plant Cells on the light microscope

25. Cells are Systems!
Individual cells are SYSTEMS because they have PARTS that work together to do a certain JOB.

26. Cells are Systems! What are some INPUTS?
Food, water, oxygen, light (plant cells)
What are some OUTPUTS?
 waste, CO2, water, chemical/thermal energy
Open or Closed? Why?
Open because MATTER (molecules) can go IN/OUT of the cell membrane
