Plant and Animal Cell

Plant and animal cells lesson outcomes:

Draw and label an animal cell

Draw and label a plant cell

What are cells?

• All living things are made of cells!

• Plants and animals are both made up of cells, but the cells that make up me and you look a bit different to the cells that make up a tree!

Animal cells

You can draw an animal cell by drawing a fried egg with some pepper on it!

The 'yolk' is the nucleus.

The outside of the egg is the cell membrane.

The egg white is the cytoplasm.

The pepper is the mitochondria!

Fill in the Blanks

The label that was missing was...

​​Nucleus

'Brain' of the cell. Control all cell activities.

Multiple Choice

What label was missing from the plant cell?

• Mitochondria

• Cell wall

• Cell membrane

• Vacuole

​​Cell Wall

Layer of non living material that surrounds the cells of plants.

Only in plant cells.

Gives plants it's shape. It helps protect and support the cell.

​Cell Membrane

All cells have it. It is the outside boundary that separates the cell from the environment.

​

​

"Hey border patrol let the water and food inside we need need them, but don't let the Corona Virus in we don't need that."

​Chloroplast

Only found in plant cells. Allows the cell to make its own food.

Mitochondria

"Powerhouses" of the cell because they produce most of the energy the cell needs to carry out its functions. Rod shaped organelles.

Vacuole

Storage of the cells. Plants cells have one large vacuole. Animal cells have many large vacuole.

​Remember that -

​

Structure refers to the Shape/ Description

​

Function is the organelles Job
