What do you find in an animal cell? (3)
1) The nucleus
2) The cytoplasm
3) The cell membrane
What are Organelles?
Organelles are tiny structures within cells
What is the function of the Nucleus?
The nucleus is an organelle which contains GENETIC MATERIAL that controls the cells activity. It’s surrounded by its own membrane.
The Nucleus:
The nucleus is an _______ which contains _______ _______ that controls the cells _______. It’s surrounded by its own _________.
cell, organelle, genetic, membrane, work, activity, material, transfer
The nucleus is an ORGANELLE which contains GENETIC MATERIAL that controls the cells ACTIVITY. It’s surrounded by its own MEMBRANE.
What is the function of the Cell Membrane?
The membrane forms the outer surface of the cell and controls the substances that go in and out.
The Cell Membrane:
The membrane forms the outer ______ of the cell and controls the substances that ___ in and ___.
out, surface, shell, cell, in,
The membrane forms the outer SURFACE of the cell and controls the substances that go IN and OUT.
What is the function of the Cytoplasm?
The cytoplasm is a gel like substance where most of the cells chemical reactions take place. It contains enzymes which control the reactions.
The Cytoplasm:
The cytoplasm is a ___ like substance where most of the cells _______ _______ take place. It contains _______ which control the ________.
gel, mud, chemical, physical, reactions, enzymes, cells
The cytoplasm is a GEL like substance where most of the cells CHEMICAL REACTIONS take place. It contains ENZYMES which control the REACTIONS.
What do you find in a Plant Cell? (6)
1) The Nucleus
2) The Vacuole
3) The Cell Wall
4) The Cytoplasm
5) The Cell Membrane
6) Chloroplasts
What is the function of the Vacuole?
The Vacuole is a large organelle that contains cell sap (a weak solution of salts and sugars) and helps support the cell.
The Vacuole:
The Vacuole is a large _______ that contains ___ ____ (a weak solution of _____ and ______) and helps ______ the cell.
sugars, cell, organelle, sap, support, change, salts
The Vacuole is a large ORGANELLE that contains CELL SAP (a weak solution of SALTS and SUGARS) and helps SUPPORT the cell.
What is the function of the Cell Wall?
The Cell Wall is a ridged structure made of cellulose which surrounds the cell membrane. It supports the cell and strengthens it.
The Cell Wall:
The Cell Wall is a _____ structure made of ______ which surrounds the cell ________. It _______ the cell and ___________ it.
weak, ridged, supports, weakens, strengthens, cellulose, membrane
The Cell Wall is a RIDGID structure made of CELLULOSE which surrounds the cell MEMBRANES. It SUPPORTS the cell and STRENGTHENS it.
What are the functions of Chloroplasts?
