Cells

The cell is the smallest unit of life
- Cells form tissues, tissues form organ and organs form organs organs work together to form organ system and organs system form an organism

​Cells

   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.

Tiny cell structures that carry out specific functions within the cell.
Just like all the organs in the body help the body function.

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."

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

The nucleus contains the DNA of the cell.

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

​

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

  Both plant and animal cells have mitochondria.

​What are some organelles that are unique to plant cells and how do they function?

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.

Vacuole

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

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