Plant Cells Meet Their Needs

Plant Cells Meet Their Needs

Each part does a job!

Review - Organisms are made of cells.

​

• Organisms are made of cells.

• We need a microscope to see cells because they are so small.

• The cells in an organism have different functions, depending on where they are.

• The cells have different shapes and sizes to best perform their function.

Multiple Choice

Why do we need a microscope to see cells?

• They are too small to see with our eyes.

• They are too far away to see with our eyes.

• They are clear, so we would see right through them.

Multiple Choice

Are all cells exactly the same?

• Yes!

• No, they have different shapes and functions.

• No, they have the same shape but different functions.

• No, they have different functions but the same shape.

Review - Cells are made of organelles.

​

• Cells are living things, so they have needs.

• To meet their needs, cells need different parts to help them perform each function.

• The parts of a cell are called organelles.
