Parts of A Cell
Grade 5 l The learner will be able to draw and label the fundamental structures of animal and plant cells.
At the end of this activity you will: l. Create a CELL made of students.
What are cells? l Your body is divided into tiny sections called cells. l The cell is one of the most basic units of life. l Cells are group together in collections called tissues.
Cell Types Bone Cell Cartilage Cell Muscle Cell Blood Cell Nerve Cell Small Intestine Cell
Cells l Most cells are too small to be observed with the naked eye. l The structure of cells can mostly only be studied with the aid of an optical microscope.
Cell Areas l All cells have organelles, these are small structures that help carry out the day-to-day operations of the cell. Three main organelles: The cell membrane, the cytoplasm, the mitochondria and the nucleus.
Cell Membrane l The cell membrane surrounds the cell. It acts like the skin of the cell. l It holds the cell together and protects it. l It allows water, oxygen, and other materials to pass in and out of cells.
Cytoplasm l Cytoplasm is the jelly material between the cell’s nucleus and the cell membrane. l It fills the entire cell. l It contains a large variety of organelles and nutrients. l It stores nutrients that keeps the cell healthy.
Nucleus l The nucleus is the cell’s command center (the brain). Tells the organelles what to do. l The cell nucleus contains the cell's DNA, the genetic code.
Mitochondria l. The mitochondria provides and releases the energy for the cell.
Cell Wall l The tough, rigid outer covering that surrounds the cell membrane of plant cells. It helps to protect the cell.
VACUOLES Vacuoles are found in the cytoplasm. They store nutrients, water, and waste materials until the cell needs them for energy or gets rid of them.
Cell Resources l Cells Alive l Brain Pop l Cell Parts l Label the Animal Cell Parts l Animal Cells l Electron Microscope (scroll down)
WE WILL: l. Create a CELL made of students.
