All living things are composed of cellsCells are the basic unit of structure and function

of living thingsAll cells are produced from other cells

Cell WallCell Wall rigid layer of nonliving

materialProvide protection &

supportFound in plant, some

bacteria, some protists and some, fungi

Cell membraneCell membraneThe outer layer of animal

cells, found inside cell walls (if wall is present)

Controls what enters and leaves the cell

NucleusNucleusDirects the cells activitiesContains DNA found on

chromatin strandsMaterials pass in and out

through the nuclear membrane

MitochondriaMitochondriaRod-shapedCreate energy for the cell

from foodWhy is the inside of the

mitochondria folded?

ChloroplastChloroplastTurn the Sun’s energy into

food through photosynthesis

They do not make energy, they convert it

Animal vs. PlantAnimal vs. PlantAnimal vs. PlantAnimal vs. Plant

1. Plant cells have chloroplasts

2. Plant cells have a cell wall

3. Plant cells have a large central vacuole

4. Animal cells have more lysosomes

Muscle CellsMuscle CellsLong, slippery and elastic

so that they can slide past one another upon expansion and contraction
