Bellringer/ Catalyst: Today in class we will be talking about the different parts found inside different types of cells. Answer the questions below to brainstorm for our discussion.
1. What are some features all plants have in common?
2. What are some features all animals have in common?
3. What are some features plants and animals have in common?
4. What are some features all living things (plants, animals, bacteria, etc.) have in common?
5. Some cells are more like a mansion, while other cells are more like a one-room shack. What are some advantages to having lots of rooms in a house? What could be some advantages of having everything in one room?

Activity 1: The Cell Organelles Reading and Graphic OrganizerPurpose: To find out about the function of each of the cell organellesTask: As you read, complete the graphic organizer on the opposite. Outcome: Identify the cell organelles and their functions
The Cell OrganellesCells are the basic unit of life. We rely on our cells to metabolize food, reproduce, pass on genes, and maintain homeostasis. All cells have organelles (smaller parts) inside that help them carry out these complex tasks.
All Cells Share a Basic StructureThere are two main types of cells: prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. All cells share a basic structure: they are all surrounded by a plasma membrane. The plasma membrane controls what enters and exits the cell. Inside the membrane is the cytoplasm – the fluid filling of the cell. All cells have ribosomes – tiny, circular structures that synthesize (make) proteins. Lastly, all cells have DNA.
The Nucleus In prokaryotes (bacteria), the DNA is loose in the middle of the cell. But all eukaryotic cells (plants, animals, protists, and fungi) have a nucleus in the middle of the cell. The nucleus is an organelle that contains the organisms DNA. Because the DNA has the genetic instructions that control all the cell’s activities, the nucleus is often called “the brain of the cell.”
Chloroplasts and MitochondriaThe chloroplast and mitochondria are organelles that help the cell get energy. Chloroplasts are only found in plant cells. Chloroplasts have a special chemical inside them – chloroplyll – that makes them green and allows them to make food using energy from sunlight. Mitochondria are found in all eukaryotic cells. Mitochondria convert food into energy for the cell.
The Endoplasmic Reticulum, Golgi Body, Vacuoles, and LysosomesIn order for molecules to move around the eukaryotic cell, they travel through the endoplasmic reticulum(ER). The rough endoplasmic reticulum has lots of ribosomes attached to it, so a lot of proteins are made in and travel through the rough ER. The smooth ER is not covered with ribosomes. This is where a lot of lipids are made.
The Golgi Body packages molecules for transport (movement) outside the eukaryotic cell. Once it has been packaged at the Golgi Body, a molecule can leave the cell through the cell membrane.
When the eukaryotic cell needs to store stuff, like water or food, it uses vacuoles. In plant cells, there is usually one big vacuole. In animal cells, there are usually lots of smaller vacuoles. Sometimes these storage organelles also help move stuff around the cell and are called vesicles.
The lysosomes help the cell breakdown waste, like old molecules and cell parts. Only animal cells have lysosomes.
The Cell Wall Both prokaryotes and plant cells have a cell wall outside of their plasma membrane. The cell wall gives the cell extra support and protection, and helps the cell maintain its shape.
