1. Chapter 1: Lesson 1:
What are the structures
of plant and animals
cells?
Grade 5

2. Study the pictures
shown, then circle living
things with a RED marker
and non-living things with
a BLUE marker.

4. Any living thing.
Organism

5. What is this building made of?

6. Cement
Iron
Bricks
(Smallest building unit)
Wood

7. All organisms are made of
building blocks (units) called
Cells

8. What do cells do?
Cells help us:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
Grow
Breathe
Move
Reproduce (make more of its kind)
Excrete (remove wastes from their
bodies)
Respond to stimulus (feel the weather
changes, etc)
Feed

9. Cells
Smallest unit of living things
that can carry out the basic
processes of life.

10. Cells
Unicellular
Multicellular
(1 celled
organism)
(Multi celled
organisms)

11. Animal Cells
Cell membrane
Cytoplasm
Nucleus
Vacuole
Mitochondrion

12. Animal Cell organelle functions
1) Cell membrane
- Give the cell its
shape.
- Controls what
materials enter the
cell and what
materials leave the
cell.

13. 2) Cytoplasm
- Gel like liquid mostly
made of water.
- It fills the area between
the cell membrane and
nucleus (organelles float
in it).
- Some of the life
processes take place in
it.

14. 3) Nucleus
- Have a membrane with
pores to allow certain
substance in and out of
the nucleus.
- Controls all the cell
functions (the brain of
the cell).

15. 4) Vacuole
- A membrane covered
structure used for
storage (stores
food, water and wastes).
- Some animal cells have
many small vacuoles and
some do not have
vacuoles.

16. 5) Mitochondria
- Oval, membrane
covered organelle that
breaks down food to give
energy to the cell (power
plant).
- Animal cells that need
more energy (ex. muscle
cells) have many
mitochondria.

17. Plant Cell organelle functions
1) Cell Wall
- Stiff structure
outside the cell
membrane.
- It provides the cell
with strength and
extra support.

18. 2) Cell membrane
- Controls what
materials enter the
cell and what
materials leave the
cell.

19. 3) Cytoplasm
- Gel like liquid
mostly made of
water.
- It fills the area
between the cell
membrane and
nucleus (organelles
float in it).

20. 4) Nucleus
- Have a membrane
with pores to allow
certain substance in
and out of the
nucleus.
- Controls all the cell
functions (the brain
of the cell).

21. 5) Vacuole
- 1 large central
vacuole used for
storing excess water
and providing extra
support to the plant.

22. 6) Mitochondria
- Oval, membrane
covered organelle
that breaks down
food to give energy to
the cell (power
plant).

23. 7) Chloroplast
- A green structure
where energy from
the sunlight is used
to make the plants
food. (Contains
chlorophyll)
