THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF CELLS

ANIMAL CELLS

• Has seven basic parts
• Nucleus,Centrioles,Vacuoles,Mitochondria,Cell membrane,Cytoplasm,DNA
• Not all animal cells are the same shape,size, or color
• Every organelle has a special function

NUCLEUS

• Controls all cell activity
• Has a nucleolus inside
• Easy way to remember it is to think of it as a brain
• Also found in plant cells
• The function is the same in both cells

CENTRIOLES

• It organizes the cell
• Not found in plant cells
• Centrioles' function is cell division

VACUOLE

• Also thought of as a vacuum
• It's stores water and waste until needed by the cell
• The animal cell has two
• The plant cell has one giant one
• The function is the same in both cells

MITOCHONDRIA

• Energy source of the cell
• Also found in plant cells
• The function is the sane in both cells

DNA

• Found inside the nucleus
• DNA is a genetic material, an inherited blue print that stores the intructions for making the other parts of the cell and for producing new cells.
• Found in plant cells
• Controls function of the cell
• The function is the same in both cells

CELL MEMBRANE

• The cell membrane is a thin semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell.
• Its function is to protect the integrity of the interior of the cell
• by allowing certain substances into the cell, while keeping other substances out.
• Same function in each cell

PLANT CELLS

• Have eight main parts
• Nucleus,Vacuole,mitochondria,Cytoplasm
• Chloroplast,Cell wall,Cell membrane,DNA
• Some are organelles are found in animals cells

CHLOROPLAST

• Gives plants their green color
• There also the food producers of the cell
• Uses the sunlight s energy to produce food for the cell

CELL WALL

• Not found in animal cells
• It maintains the shape of the cell
• It provides structural strength to the plant

OSMOSIS

• a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane

DIFFUSION

• diffusion helps in transport of foods , water, waste in or out of the cell
• also helps to maintain the osmotic pressure of the cell by osmosis
• Diffusion is the tendency of molecules to spread into an available space
• Diffusion is a spontaneous movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
