Boys and girls, do you know what cells are?   Have 

you ever imagined how cells function? I would like 

to take you on an adventure to the World of Cells, 

where you will learn the way cells work.

       Plant Cell

          Animal Cell

I would like to begin by showing a picture of 

an animal and a plant cell.   As you can see, the 

animal and plant cells are alike.   They have many 

of the same cells!

Looking at the picture, Can you guess which 

cells are different?

Using the pictures on the left, we will walk through parts 

and functions of the plant cell.

The Vacuole is where sugar and water is stored.

The Cytoplasm is liquid used to hold the cell organelles.

The cell Nucleus store the genetic information. We will talk 

about the nucleus a little later.

The Mitochondria is know as the "power house", there is 

where sugar is converted into energy.

The Golgi apparatus or "Golgi Body" is a stack of flattened 

membranous sac which modifies, packages, and distributes 

protein and lipids.

The chloroplast turns sunlight into energy.

Surrounding each cell is a cell wall which is a hard barrier 

outside the cell which help the cell keep it's shape. The cell 

membrane also surround the cell and is a softer barrier 

which separate the inside from the outside of the cell.

Let's take a closer look at the Control Center of the cells, the 

"nucleus".

The nucleus is what control everything in the cell.

Parts located in the nucleus are:

The nucleolus which contain the RNA and proteins and is the place 

of ribosome production.

Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the 

nucleus of animal and plant cells. Each chromosome is made of 

protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) The 

DNA is what everything and everyone so different.

The Nuclear membrane is a double-layered membrane 

surrounding the nucleus.

Cemtrioles are also found in the nucleus. Centrioles are found in 

animal cells and help to organize the assembly of microtubules 

during cell division.
