Cells are the basic unit of life and are found in all living things. They come in many shapes and sizes and have different functions. It is the smallest unit of life that can carry out all of the processes of life. Cells have both living and nonliving components, including a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and DNA. Cells reproduce by dividing into two identical cells, which helps organisms grow and replace old cells.

Cells are incredibly small and can not be seen with the naked eye. A single human cell is about 1/10th of a millimeter in diameter. Unicellular organisms can live and survive on their own, while multicellular organisms rely on the specialized cells to interact with each other to stay alive. Cells are made up of several organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus, which all work together to keep the cell functioning.

Cell Membrane: an outer layer made from a double layer of phospholipids that regulates what enters and exits the cell. Cytoskeleton: an internal network of protein filaments and tubules that gives the cell its shape and allows it to move. Organelles: small structures inside a cell that perform specific functions, like storing energy, breaking down food, and disposing of waste. Examples of organelles include the nucleus, mitochondria, and vacuole.

Animal cells contain structures called cilia, which are tiny hair-like projections that help the cell move. The nucleus of an animal cell is the only organelle that contains DNA. The plasma membrane of an animal cell is composed of lipids and proteins that regulate what enters and leaves the cell.

Animal cells are made up of different organelles that work together to keep the cell functioning. Organelles include a nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and more. These cells are found in all multicellular organisms, such as plants and animals.

Question: What are the similarities and differences between plant and animal cells? Clues: • Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, animal cells do not. • Animal cells have centrioles and lysosomes, plant cells do not. • Both types of cells contain a nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, and a cell membrane. In pairs: Select and solve one of the tasks: A. Draw a diagram comparing and contrasting the structures of a plant and animal cell. B. Create a Venn diagram to illustrate the similarities and differences between plant and animal cells.
