Animal and Plant Cell Structure and Function

Animal and Plant Cells

Objectives: By the end of the lesson students should be able to:

State the two basic types of cells. Identify 7 parts of a cell. State the functions of 7 cells parts.

Organelles

Tiny cell structures that carry out specific functions within the cell.

Cytoplasm

Jelly-like structure. Keeps all the organelles together in the cell.

Nucleus

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

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.

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.
