What We need to know about Cells...
S5L3 Students will diagram and label parts of various cells (plant, animal, single-celled, multi-celled).
a. Use magnifiers such as microscopes or hand lenses to observe cells and their structure.
b. Identify parts of a plant cell (membrane, wall, cytoplasm, nucleus, chloroplasts) and of an animal cell (membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus) and determine the function of the parts.
c. Explain how cells in multi-celled organisms are similar and different in structure and function to single-celled organisms.

What is a Cell?Everything that is considered living is made from cells. In fact, cells are know as the building blocks of life. Cells are the smallest living structure of any living thing. It is estimated that the human body has somewhere between 5 billion to 200 million trillion cells. All the cells in our body service specific purposes. These cells help our bodies stay healthy, transport blood, oxygen, etc... If we understand how cells work, we can understand how the rest of our body works. Click here to learn more about cells.

Comparing and contrasting plant & Animal CellsCheck out the following links to learn about plant and animal cells. As you begin your study, it is importation to know that while both plants and animals are both living things, their cells are constructed differently because they have different ways of surviving.

What I need to take away from Learning about cells.All cells are similar and have several organelles that are responsible for specific task. Because animals and plants are different, the cells that they are made of will be a little different. Your task is to know the organelles that the plant cells and animal cells have in common and how they are differently.
