Thursday– Sept. 22, 2011“IN”In Animal cells like the one shown, which organelle is used for storing water?

Objective:

Through note-taking and a graphic organizer, I will discover that plant and animals are made of specialized cells and compare and contrast the structures and functions of each.

“OUT” Homework:

What we will do Today

• Cell Comparison Note-taking• Plant vs. Animal Cell Graphic

Comparing Plant and

Animal Cells TEKS 5A

Plant Vs Animal Cells:Topic:Plant vs Animal Cells

How are plant cells specialized?

How are animal cells different from plant cells?

Information:Page 191-192

•Plant cells have chloroplasts to produce food, have cell walls, and have a LARGE central vacuole.

•Animal cells do NOT contain chloroplasts and therefore do NOT make their own food. •Animal cells also do NOT have a cell wall. Animal cells have only the cell membrane for protection of the cell.

What kind of cell is this?

Unicellular OrganismsTopic:Unicellular organismsCan an single cell be a whole organism?

What exactly does the cell do?

Are there many unicellular organisms on Earth?

Information:Page 190

•YES!! Cells may be complete organisms and can perform all life functions as an individual cell.

•They grow, respond to the environment, transform energy, and reproduce. Just like multicellular organisms do.

•In terms of their numbers, unicellular organisms dominate life on Earth. Some examples include Yeast and Paramecium.

Paramecium

Multicellular OrganismsTopic:Multicellular Organisms

What makes multicellular organisms special?

Information:Page 190

•Cells throughout an organism can develop in different ways to perform different tasks.

•All multicellular organisms depend on communication and cooperation among specialized cells. Examples include pancreatic cells, blood cells, muscle cells, etc.

Multicellular Cells in our Body

Summary

• What about multicellular organisms makes them special? Why?

Today’s Vocabulary

• Animal Cell• Plant Cell• Chloroplast• Unicellular• Multicellular

Objective:Through note-taking and a graphic organizer, I will discover that plant and animals are composed of cells and note the differences in unicellular and multicellular organisms
