Living Systems Part III

Plant & Animal Cells

Dr. Marjorie Anne Wallace, Elementary Science Resource Teacher

All living things are made up of cells. Bacteria cells Protozoan cells Fungi cells Plant cells and Animal cells

Plant Cells

Plants are classified into the Plant Kingdom.

Plants may be grouped into Vascular or non-vascular Plants are made up of plant cells. Plant cells have: - a strong cell wall, -large water vacuoles, and -several chloroplast for photosynthesis used in energy & food production.

Plant cells
Plant cells are usually square or rectangle shaped. Plant cells have: -cell wall, - cell membrane, --chloroplasts, -nucleus, -large vacuoles for food & water, and - cytoplasm to protect all the internal organelles.

Multi celled organisms Cytoplasm is the clear jelly like matter that protects the inside cell organelles. Cell walls are found in plant cells but not in animal cells. They are stiff, non-living cell parts that help shape the plant cell.

Cell wall Cell membrane Water vacuole Chloroplast

nucleus

holds the cell together and lets substances pass in and out of its pores. Chloroplasts are organelles in some plant and protist cells. They contain chlorophyll that helps the plant cell store solar (SUN) energy. Photosynthesis. Plants are producers.

Review Question #1:

What do these plant cell organelles do?

A B

chloroplasts
C

cell wall
D

vacuoles

cytoplasm

Question #2:
Which gas is used by plants during photosynthesis?A B C D carbon dioxide oxygen nitrogen phosphorus

Answer to question #2.

You got it! A

Plants use carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and they excrete (their waste) oxygen.

Question #3:
Which of these is the source of energy for photosynthesis?
A B C D Gravity Electricity Magnetism Sunlight

Answer to #3:
Yes, sunlight D. Sunlight is the source of energy for plant photosynthesis.

Can you name some of the Parts of a PLANT CELL?

CELL WALL Cell MEMBRANE CYTOPLASM NUCLEUS & Nuclear Membrane CHLOROPLAST for Photosynthesis

What do animal cells look like?

Animal cells tend to be sphere or round shaped. Animal cells have: -cell membrane to hold the cell together, -cytoplasm a watery gel inside the cell, -nucleus with a nuclear membrane, and -sometimes small vacuoles where food and chemicals are stored.

Animal Cells

Each animal cell has: -a cell membrane- holds cell

nucleus

together and allows substances in and out of the cell, -cytoplasm- jelly like gel that suspend organelles inside the cell, -a nucleus- the control center; or the Brain, of the cell, -nuclear membrane- allows substances to pass in & out of the nucleus.

Animal Kingdom
Animals are classified into the Animal Kingdom. Animals are consumers. (They must eat food to live.) Animals can be grouped as Invertebrates or vertebrates. Invertebrate -No backbone Vertebrates - Backbone present
