Animal and Plant Cells

Cell Organelles & Plant vs Animal Cells

Year 7 Cellsational

​What we will learn about...

• ​Basic structure of a cell

• ​Organelles and their functions

• ​Difference between plant and animal cells

Open Ended

Do you know any cell organelles already? List them here. Have a guess! 

What are organelles? ​

• 'Little organs'

• Parts of a cell that help it to function

• Each one carries out a different function

• Some are only in plant cells, and some are in both animal and plant cells ​

​Organelles we need to know

• ​Cell membrane

• ​Cell wall

• ​Nucleus

• ​Chloroplast

• ​Cytoplasm

• ​Mitochondria

• ​Vacuole

Multiple Choice

To provide protection and form for the plant cell is a function of _________.

• Cell Wall

• Cytoplasm

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

Multiple Choice

Breaks down food  to release energy. Known as the power plant of the cell.

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Mitochondria

• Ribosomes

• Cell Wall

​Cell Wall and Cell Membrane

• ​Only plant cells have a cell wall, it provides rigid structure and support

• ​Animal and plant cells have a cell membrane. It allows substances to move in and out of the cell

• ​Both of them are the 'border' to the cell

​Nucleus, Cytoplasm, Mitochondria

• ​All 3 found in plant and animal cells

• ​Nucleus is like the brain of the cell. It controls everything. It holds all the genetic material in the cell (the DNA)

• ​The cytoplasm is a clear jelly like substance that fills all the 'empty spaces' - it contains nutrients

• ​Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell. They produce energy for the cell to use.

​Chloroplasts and Vacuole

• ​Only found in plant cells

• ​Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis, and give plants their green colour

• ​Vacuoles are a storage facility. They store extra nutrients, like water and sugar. Sometimes animal cells have these, but they are much smaller and not permanent.

Multiple Choice

To store water, glucose (sugar) materials (building blocks) or wastes is a function of _________.

• Cell Wall

• Vacuole

• Chloroplast

• Mitochondria

Multiple Choice

The clear, jelly-like material in a cell that supports and protects the cell’s organelles.

• Cytoplasm

• Cell Membrane

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

Multiple Choice

Where can you find the chloroplast? 

• Only Plants

• Only Animals

• Plants & Animals

• Animals & Bacteria

Multiple Choice

Why is the nucleus important? 

• It give the cell its energy

• It stores genetic information

• It uses sunlight for food

• It makes the proteins

Poll

How confident do you feel about this content?

• Super confident! I get it all

• Pretty confident, I get most things

• Average, I'm unsure about a couple of things

• I don't feel at all confident

Multiple Choice

The second part of Cell Theory states: "All living organisms are made up of cells."

• True

• False

• I don't know

• If you say so

Multiple Choice

All cells come from___________ cells.

• pregnant

• pre-existing

• paternal

• pin size

Multiple Choice

Rocks are not living because

• they never move

• they aren't needed for humans

• they are not made of cells

• they don't break down

Multiple Choice

There are three parts to the cell theory. Which is NOT one of those parts?

• All organisms are composed of one or more cells.

• The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization in organisms.

• Cells spontaneously arise from carbon and nutrients carried in the bloodstream.

• All cells come from pre-existing cells.

Multiple Choice

To control what enters or leaves the cell is a function of _________.

• Cell Wall

• Cell Membrane

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

Multiple Choice

This cell organelle helps organisms maintain homeostasis by controlling what substances may enter or leave cells.

• vacuole

• nucleus

• cell membrane

• cell wall

Multiple Choice

Which statement best describes the cell membrane?

• The protective outer layer that controls what enters and leaves the cell.

• Stores information on DNA molecules / Directs and controls the activities of the cell.

• A folded membrane that moves materials around inside cells / Also acts as the site of manufacturing materials needed by the cell.

• The smallest organelle with a huge job / Makes proteins, which are the building blocks of the body.

Multiple Choice

How does a cell maintain homeostasis?

• Regulates what enters and leaves the cell

• Flexibility

• Protective barrier

• Structure and support

Multiple Choice

What is the function of vacuoles?  

• make protein

• store genetic information

• storage of salt, H₂O, food, and waste

• transports material outside the cell
