Read It! Station Directions
Each member of the group will read the passage and answer the questions from the task cards on the lab sheet in the Read It! section.
It is important to remember that the answers will come directly from the reading passage.
Plant and Animal Cells All living organisms on Earth are divided into cells. The main concept of cell theory is that cells are the basic structural unit for all organisms. Cells are small compartments that hold the biological equipment necessary to keep an organism alive and successful.
Living things may be single-celled or they may be very complex such as a human being. There are smaller pieces that make up cells such as macromolecules and organelles. A protein is an example of a macromolecule while a mitochondrion is an example of an organelle.
Cells can also connect to form larger structures. They might group together to form the tissues of the stomach and eventually the entire digestive system. However, in the same way that atoms are the basic unit when you study matter, cells are the basic unit for biology and organisms. In larger organisms, the main purpose of a cell is to organize.
Cells hold a variety of pieces and each cell type has a different purpose. By dividing responsibilities among different groups of cells, it is easier for an organism to survive and grow.
If you were only made of one cell, you would be very limited. You don't find single cells that are as large as a cow. Cells have problems functioning when they get too big. Also, if you were only one cell you couldn't have a nervous system, no muscles for movement, and using the internet would be out of the question. The trillions of cells in your body make your way of life possible.
It’s important to study about cells because they are the building block for all of life. If we understand how they work we may be able to cure diseases and have a better understanding of life.

Which is an example of an organelle?
A. glucose B. carbohydrate C. protein D. mitochondria

Which is an example of something where cells are working together to perform a function?
A. Energy from the Sun heats the Earth
B. Tissue in the stomach C. A large pane of glass for
protection D. The top of a table holds plates

Why are there not large, single-celled, organisms?
A. Their cell walls are too small to grow B. Cells do not function when they get too
large C. There are not enough elements to grow D. Cells do not like light.

According the passage, why is it important that we study cells?
A. So that we can improve our technology
B. To learn about our ancestry C. To learn about evolution D. To have a better understanding of
life ©KeslerScience.com

2. Describe the difference
between plant and animal cells on your lab sheet.
Explore It! Station Directions
One member of the group will read the task cards in order. The group will be responsible for completing each of the tasks that are being read.
Each member of the group will then write their conclusions down on the lab sheet in the Explore It! section.

1. Look at the plant and
animal diagrams on the table.
2. On your lab sheet make some
observations about the differences between each of them
©KeslerScience.com
There are several differences between plant and animal cells, but generally speaking there are 3 main differences.
1. Plant cells have a cell wall for protection and structure.
2. Plant cells have chloroplasts where photosynthesis happens and energy is created.
3. Plant cells have larger vacuoles for food and water storage.

The next few cards will describe what each of the organelles do. Organelles are small objects that perform a job within the cell..
On your lab sheet you are going to use the box provided to make comparisons of the organelle function to something in your own classroom. For example, the vacuole stores food and nutrients. You would possibly draw a refrigerator or storage closest to represent the vacuole. Be sure to label. ©KeslerScience.com
Cell Membrane - Outer lining the cells. Controls what goes in and out
Cell Wall - A rigid exterior which protects and supports the cell Nucleus - Controls all activity in the cell (the brain) and stores DNA Cytoplasm - Fluid that fills the cell and keeps the organelles in place Mitochondria - Power plant of the cell. They create energy called ATP.
Level 2 ONLY
Chloroplasts - Converts sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen in a process called photosynthesis
Vacuole - Stores water and nutrients for the cell to survive
Ribosomes - Follows the instructions of the nucleus and created proteins
Golgi Apparatus - Packaging plant. They group items together and pack them into vesicles (packets) Lysosomes - Breakdown and detoxify waste material within the cell. Endoplasmic Reticulum - Prepares the proteins for transfer to the Golgi Apparatus
