Animal and Plant Cells Lesson 8

Let’s Review!

∗ All living things are made of what? ∗ A-Cells

! ∗ How many organ systems is the human body made of? ∗ A-Eleven. Now, name them.

! ∗ What organ system is responsible for breaking down food and disposing of waste? ∗ A-Digestive

Cells ∗ All living things are made of cells. ∗ Plant and animal cells contain many structures which do different jobs inside the cells. ∗ Plant and animal have many structures in common. However, plant cells contain some structures that animal cells do not contain. ! ∗ In this lesson, you will learn about the various parts that make up plant and animal cells. ∗ You will have to label and identify the functions of the organelles.

Two Types of Cells 1) Prokaryotic 2) Eukaryotic

The Two Types of Cells ∗ All living things fit into one of two categories based on their cell structures. !

∗ #1-Prokaryote ∗ A prokaryote is made up of one or more cells that do not contain a nucleus. Prokaryotes are generally tiny, single-celled organisms.

Prokaryotic ! ∗ Do not have structures surrounded by membranes ∗ Few internal structures ∗ They are usually single-celled organisms (unicellular), such as bacteria ∗ They are the smallest cells in the world. ∗ The DNA is long and circular shaped like a rubber band. ∗ We will not dwell on these. http://library.thinkquest.org/C004535/prokaryotic_cells.html

Type #2-Eukaryotes ∗ Eukaryotes do contain a nucleus. ∗ Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotes. ∗ They are ten times larger than prokaryotic cells. ∗ The DNA is linear and is in the nucleus. ∗ Most eukaryotes are made up of many cells that work together. ∗ You have these cells in your body.

Eukaryotic ! ∗ Contain organelles surrounded by membranes ∗ Most living organisms are eukaryotic. Plant

Animal

Cell Structures ∗ Again, plant and animal cells have many of the same structures, or contents. ∗ Plant cells have parts that animal cells do not have. ∗ The cell parts that carry out a specific job are called organelles. ∗ Let’s look at both plant and animal cells and their parts.

Organelles Surrounding
 the Cell

Cell Membrane ∗ The outer membrane ∗ It is a thin covering. ∗ Flexible ! Job: * Controls movement of materials into and out of the cell * SELECTIVELY PERMEABLE

Cell Wall ∗ Most commonly found in plant cells & bacteria ∗ Stiff, more rigid than cell membrane ∗ Not found in animal cells ∗ Made of a strong fiber called cellulose. The cells of plants, algae,

fungi, and most bacteria are enclosed in a cell wall. ∗ Cell walls are tough, rigid outer coverings that protect cells and give them shape.

∗ Job:

∗ Supports & protects plant cell ∗ Gives the plant cell its rigid, boxlike shape ∗ Allows material in & out

Organelles Inside 
 the Cell

Nucleus Job: ∗ A large structure inside the cell that contains the cell’s genetic material. ∗ Directs/manages cell activities ∗ The “brain” of the cell-contains the DNA

Nuclear Membrane ∗ Surrounds nucleus ∗ Has nuclear pores openings that allow material to enter and leave nucleus

http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

Chromosomes ∗ Inside the nucleus ∗ Made of DNA ∗ Contain instructions for traits and characteristics ∗ Involved in mitosis and meiosis !

Cytoplasm

Cytoplasm

∗ Clear gel-like fluid that fills the organelles ∗ All cells contain cytoplasm. ∗ A variety of structures are located in the cytoplasm.

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) ∗ A system of folded membranes that serve as passageways in a cell. ∗ Moves materials around in cell through the ER to other areas. ∗ Series of tubular passageways ∗ The ER also makes proteins, fats, and other materials ∗ Breaks down drugs and other substances ∗ Smooth type: lacks ribosomes ∗ Rough type (pictured): ribosomes embedded in surface http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

Ribosomes ∗ Each cell contains thousands ∗ They are the smallest organelles ∗ Tiny grain-like structures ∗ “Protein factories” - site of protein manufacturing ∗ They hook together amino acids to make proteins. http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

Mitochondria ∗ For materials to move around the cell, energy must be made. ∗ The mitochondria produces energy through chemical reactions – breaking down fats and carbohydrates and releases energy. ∗ The “powerhouse” of the cell; the energy produced is used to power all the organelles. This process is called cellular respiration. ∗ The energy of the cell is called ATP.

The Golgi Complex ∗ When proteins are made in the ER, they then go to the Golgi apparatus. ∗ It is known as the protein “packaging plant”-it attaches proteins from the ribosomes to sugars, starches, and fats. ∗ It modifies and sends proteins to other parts of the cell or out of the cell to go somewhere else

Lysosome

∗ All cells produce wastes. ∗ The lysosome is the digestive organelle for proteins, fats, and carbohydrates ∗ The lysosomes contain substances called enzymes, which break down wastes. ∗ Breaks down wastes and unwanted or “broken” cell material or large materials ∗ The “garbage disposal” of the cell ∗ The lysosome’s membrane prevents the digestive chemicals inside from leaking into the cytoplasm and destroying the cell. ∗ When a cell dies, the lysosome’s membrane disintegrates, releasing digestive chemicals that allow the quick breakdown of the cell’s contents. http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

Lysosomes

Vacuoles ∗ Used for storage ∗ They store water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates that the cells need. ∗ Helps plant cells maintain shape ∗ Animal cells have several small vacuoles. ∗ They are MUCH larger in plants cells. http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

Chloroplast ∗ Chloroplasts are organelles only in plant cells that capture light energy from the sun. ∗ Contains chlorophyll a green substance that absorbs light and gives plants their green color ∗ They make food for plants; photosynthesis takes place here. http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

Cells! ∗ Cells are the building blocks of life. ∗ The cell was discovered by Hooke. ∗ In 1665, Robert Hooke cut a thin slice of cork and looked at it under his microscope. ∗ To Hooke, the cork seemed to be made up of empty little boxes, which he named cells. ∗ The word cell in Latin means “little rooms”. ∗ The cell theory states that ∗ 1) Cells are the smallest units of life 
 2) All living organisms are made up of cells 
 3) All cells come from preexisting cells 
 


∗ All cells must constantly take in nutrients, store, produce, and breakdown substances, and take in and use energy.

If the parts of a cell could talk… ∗ Who would say… I have a way with amino acids! ! I’m the garbage man! ! You can find everything in me! ! I’m the “brain” of the cell. ! I have all the “power” you’ll need. ! I’m found all “around” a plant cell.

A Lab-What if our school were a cell?

∗ Our school is like a cell in several ways. ∗ We have a waste system, a powerhouse, a central command, etc. ∗ Your job in this lab is to label the parts of our school as if it were a cell. ∗ Using construction paper-cut the sheets in half. ∗ You will write the parts of a cell and label the parts of our school that correspond to those parts. ∗ The cell part and the reason why you chose that part go on the front. The part of our school goes on the back. ∗ Do not enter any classrooms or the office. You also may not leave the building. ∗ Here are the parts-cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, chloroplasts, vacuole, cytoplasm, ribosomes, mitochondria, and lysosomes.
