What are living things made of?
Cells work together to carry out the seven life processes that are needed for an organism to stay alive.
Other organisms are multicellular – they are made up of many types of cells. Can you think of some examples of unicellular and multicellular organisms?
Some organisms are unicellular – they are made up of only one cell.
Cells are the building blocks of life – they come in all shapes and sizes.

What is a cell?
Animal and plant cells come in different shapes and sizes, but they all have three basic features.
Plant cells also have some extra features that make them different to animal cells.

What shape is a cell?
Cells are not flat; they are usually three-dimensional (3D).
Most cells have three basic parts: the nucleus, cytoplasm and cell membrane. They may also contain other small structures called organelles, that perform specific jobs.
But the 3D shape of the cell is determined by its location in the body and the job that it does.

Do all cells look the same?
Cells can be different shapes and sizes and also have different functions. This is because they are specialized.
The shape of a cell is related to its function. Where do you see this idea in sport?
Why are the players in a rugby team often different shapes and sizes?
The players in a rugby team are different shapes and sizes because each player does a different job for the team.
Like rugby players, cells are different shapes and sizes because they perform different jobs.

Make a cell model
Can you make a model of a typical plant or animal cell?
You can make your own 3D cell using the following items:
a plastic bag
cellulose paste
small objects to suspend in the cellulose paste (these will represent the internal structures of the cell).
