SC.6.L.14.2 Investigate and explain the components of the scientific theory of cells (cell theory): all organisms are composed of cells (single-celled or multi-cellular), all cells come from preexisting cells, and cells are the basic unit of life. (Also assesses SC.6.L.14.3.) SC.6.L.14.4 Compare and contrast the structure and function of major organelles of plant and animal cells, including cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, chloroplasts, mitochondria, and vacuoles. Vocabulary: cell wall, centriole, chloroplast, cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosome, mitochondria, nuclear envelope, nucleolus, nucleus, organelle, plasma membrane, plastid, ribosome, vacuole, vesicle Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. What are some of the structures inside a cell that help it to live and perform its role in an organism? 2. How do you think plant cells differ from animal cells? (Hint: What can plants do that animals cannot?) Gizmo Warm-up The Cell Structure Gizmo allows you to look at typical animal and plant cells under a microscope.

Cells form the basic "building blocks" for living things. Some cells have specialized functions. Tissues are made from cells of a similar type.

7 EXTENSION Homeostasis and Cells to Systems Interactive Video Activity Source: BBC KS3 Bitesize: Homeostasis osts.shtml Cells to Systems Animals and plants are made of cells. Cells form the basic "building blocks" for living things. Some cells have specialized functions. Tissues are made from cells of a similar type. Organs are made from tissues, and systems are made from several organs working together. Cells are very small. They are the basic building blocks of all animals and plants. These photographs show cells seen through a microscope. Cheek cells These are cheek cells, seen through a microscope: Onion cells These are onion cells, seen through a microscope: Extended Learning Modules Page 5

8 Animal cells usually have an irregular shape, and plant cells usually have a regular shape Cells are made up of different parts. It is easier to explain what these parts are by using diagrams like the ones below. Animal cells and plant cells both contain: cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus Plant cells also contain these parts, not found in animal cells: chloroplasts, vacuole, cell wall The table summarizes the functions of these parts. Part Function Found in Cell Controls what substances can get into and Plant and animal cells membrane out of the cell. Cytoplasm Jelly-like substance, where chemical Plant and animal cells reactions happen. In plant cells there's a thin lining, whereas in animal cells most of the cell is cytoplasm. Nucleus Controls what happens inside the cell. Carries genetic information. Plant and animal cells Chloroplast Vacuole Cell wall In exams don't call the nucleus the 'brain' of the cell. That is not a good description and will not get you marks. Where photosynthesis happens chloroplasts contain a green substance called chlorophyll. Contains a liquid called cell sap, which keeps the cell firm. Made of a tough substance called cellulose, which supports the cell. Plant cells only Plant cells only Plant cells only Extended Learning Modules Page 6

9 Humans are multi-cellular animals. That means we are made of lots of cells, not just one cell. The cells in many multi-cellular animals and plants are specialized, so that they can share out the processes of life. They work together like a team to support the different processes in an organism. Specialized cells You should be able to work out special features of a cell from a drawing, if you are told what the cell can do. The tables below show examples of some specialized animal and plant cells, with their functions and special features. Tissues Animal cells and plant cells can form tissues, like muscle tissue. A living tissue is made from a group of cells with a similar structure and function, which all work together to do a particular job. Here are some examples of tissues: muscle the lining of the intestine the lining of the lungs phloem (tubes that carry dissolved sugar around a plant) root hair tissue (for plants to take up water and minerals from the soil) Organs An organ is made from a group of different tissues, which all work together to do a particular job. Here are some examples of organs: heart lung stomach brain leaf root Organ systems An organ system is made from a group of different organs, which all work together to do a particular job. Here are some examples of organ systems: circulatory system respiratory system digestive system nervous system reproductive system leaf canopy Extended Learning Modules Page 7
