LG: Explain the hierarchy of cell – organisms

Define Organelle

- Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things

- They provide structure for the body, take in nutrients, excrete wastes, undertakes energy,
undertake energy processes and divide and replicate
- - each cell has various subparts, called organelles

A collection of cells together of the same type is known as a tissue

Collections of tissues arranged for functional purpose are known as organs

A collection of organs functioning together is known as n organism

LG: To develop an understanding of organelles in plants +animals cells

1. Re draw table – fill out answers (internet or textbooks)

2. Fill in Venn diagram
3. Create a poster for a chosen organelle

Cellular Organelles

Name Function Present in plants Present in animals

Nucleus It is the command
centre of a eukaryotic
cell and is commonly
the most prominent
organelle in a cell. It
contains the DNA and
controls the growth
and reproduction of
the cell
Nucleolus A small body in the
nucleus of a cell that
contains protein and
RNA and is the site for
the synthesis of
ribosomal RNA and for
the formation of
ribosomal subunits.
Cell wall The rigid outermost
cell layer found in
plants and certain
algae, bacteria, and
 fungi but absent from
animal cells.
Plasma membrane The cell membrane
(also known as the
plasma membrane or
cytoplasmic
membrane, and
historically referred to
as the plasmalemma)
is a biological
membrane that
separates the interior
of all cells from the
outside environment
(the extracellular
space). It consists of a
lipid bilayer with
embedded proteins.
Cytoplasm the material or
protoplasm within a
living cell, excluding
the nucleus.
Vacuole Vacuoles are storage
bubbles found in cells.
They are found in
both animal and plant
cells but are much
larger in plant cells.
Vacuoles might store
food or any variety of
nutrients a cell might
need to survive. They
can even store waste
products so the rest of
the cell is protected
from contamination.
