CellsCells are the basic unit of all living thingsif it is alive it has cells

Two Classes of CellsThere are 2 classes of cells. There are only two differences between Plant & Animal cellstry to spot them by the end of the showPlant cellsAnimal Cells

Cell DifferentiationThere are only 2 classes of cells (plant/animal), but there are many kinds of cells in each class. Each kind of cell has a DIFFERENT job to doit specializes.I am a heart cell!I am a skin cellIm a Prison Cell!

When you hear the new vocabularyjust think of aTurtle

Cell MembraneThe cell membrane holds the cell together and allows nutrients in the cellIts just like a turtles skinThe cell membrane is on the edge of a cell

CytoplasmCytoplasm is the watery gel (Jello!) inside a cell.its goop! It holds the ORGANellesCytoplasm is like the turtles blood and other liquids

MitochondriaMitochondria is an ORGANelle that releases energy from foodMitochondria is like a turtles stomach

NucleusThe nucleus controls the cellThe nucleus is like the turtles brain

ChromosomesChromosomes are inside the nucleus and are made of genes (DNA)Genes decide the cells traits and activities (heart cell, eye cell (color))

Nuclear MembraneThe nuclear membrane allows substances to pass in and out of the nucleusIt surrounds the nucleus (the brain) like the turtles skullprotects it

VacuolesVacuoles are spaces in the cytoplasm (gel) where food and chemicals are storedIts like fat on a turtleI am NOT fatIm just a little plump!!

Cell WallCell Walls are only in plant cellsThey make the cell strong and rigidThey are like a turtles shell (but only plants have themthats why grass stands straight up!)

Chloroplasts Chloroplasts are only in plant cellsThey contain chlorophyll, which helps make energy/food from sunlightChlorophyll is green in colorso any plant that is green has chloroplastsIm greendo I have chloroplasts?

Whats the Difference?So what are two things that Plant cells have that animal cells dont??Chloroplasts & Cell Walls

What would happen if animals had Chloroplasts?

Now, lets review Cell MembraneCell Wall ChloroplastsChromosomesNucleusNuclear MembraneMitochondriaCytoplasm VacuolesPlant/Animal CellDifferentiation Cells
