Cell Revision

Features of living things (MRS GREN)

Cells vary in size
All organisms made up of cells
Surrounded by a membrane
Have many parts able to perform
specialised functions

Basic structural & functional units of

life
Cell Theory : all living things
composed of one or more cells &
come from pre-existing cells
(Schleiden & Schwann)
Cell specialisation and organisation
allowed organisms to survive many
different environments

Cells
Cells have many features in common, reflecting
their common evolutionary past

Classification of Cells

Draw a Venn diagram

comparing prokaryote
and eukaryote cells

Compare Plant, Animal

and Fungi cells
Draw each cell comparing the different structures
Activities 40 (Animal cell), 41 (Animal cell organelles),
42 & 43 (Plant cell organelles), 44, 45

Fungi no chloroplast and

cell wall with chitin
Plants have chloroplasts
and a cell wall made of
cellulose

Cell Organelles
Make flash cards for each
organelle. Write the name
of the structure on the front
and the function on the
back.
