CELL ASSESSMENT

WHAT IS A CELL?

• A cell is the basic unit of all living things.
• A cell is the smallest form of life.

WHAT IS THE CELL THEORY?

• All life forms are made from one or more cells.
• Cells only are created through already known cells.
• The cell is the smallest form of life.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PROKARYOTIC & EUKARYOTIC

• Eukaryotic Cells are larger than Prokaryotic Cells.
• This is because they have a complicated internal structure.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCES ABOUT PLANT AND ANIMAL CELLS?

• Plant cells have a large central vacuole.
• Animal cells have small fluid filled sacs called vesicles.
• Plant cells in stems and leaves have chloroplasts in their cytoplasm.
• Plant cells have a cellulose cell wall around the cell membrane.

CELL MEMBRANE

• Function: Keeps unwanted nutrients out and wanted nutrients in.
• Cell membranes are found in both animal and plant cells.

ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM

• Function: Stores proteins.
• ER is found in both animal and plant cells.

GOLGI APPARATUS (GOLGI BODY)

• Function: Packages and processes macromolecules.
• Golgi Apparatus is found in animal and plant cells.

RIBOSOMES

• Function: Builds proteins of the cells.
• Ribosomes are found in plant and animal cells.

MITOCHONDRIA

• Function: Cellular respiration.
• Mitochondria is found in plant and animal cells.

NUCLEUS

• Function: Storing genetic material.
• They're found in both plant and animal cells.

NUCLEOLUS

• Function: Producing ribosomes.
• They're found in both animal and plant cells.

VACUOLE

• Function: stores food and water.
• They're found in both plant and animal cells.

LYSOSOMES

• Function: Digest the worn-out organelles.
• They're found in both animal and plant cells.

CHROMOSOMES(DNA)

• Function: Carries the genes in the nucleous.
• They're found in both plant and animal cells.

CELL WALL

• Function: Provides as a shield around plant cells.
• They are only found in plant cells.

CHLOROPLAST

• Function: Makes sugars and starches
• They're only found in plant cells.
