Fascinating Vocabulary of Cell Biology

Explore the intricate world of cell biology through fancy terminology for basic cell components, such as the cell membrane, cytoplasm, mitochondria, nucleus, and more. Discover the unique functions and structures of plant and animal cells as compared to different types of cells within each class. Visualize the cell's components in relatable terms, likening them to a turtle's external and internal features. Delve into the genetic realm of chromosomes and the controlling role of the nucleus in cellular activities.

Presentation Transcript

1. Intro to Cell Vocabulary Fancy Names For Simple Things

2. Cells Cells are the basic unit of all living things if it is alive it has cells

3. Two Classes of Cells There are 2 classes of cells. There are only two differences between Plant & Animal cells try to spot them by the end of the show Plant cells Animal Cells

4. Cell Differentiation There are only 2 classes of cells (plant/animal), but there are many kinds of cells in each class. Each kind of cell has a DIFFERENT job to do it specializes. I am a heart cell! I am a skin cell I m a Prison Cell!

5. When you hear the new vocabulary just think of a Turtle

6. Cell Membrane The cell membrane holds the cell together and allows nutrients in the cell It s just like a turtle s skin The cell membrane is on the edge of a cell

7. Cytoplasm Cytoplasm is the watery gel (Jello!) inside a cell .it s goop! It holds the ORGANelles Cytoplasm is like the turtles blood and other liquids

8. Mitochondria Mitochondria is an ORGANelle that releases energy from food Mitochondria is like a turtle s stomach

9. Nucleus The nucleus controls the cell The nucleus is like the turtle s brain

10. Chromosomes Chromosomes are inside the nucleus and are made of genes (DNA) Genes decide the cells traits and activities (heart cell, eye cell (color))

11. Nuclear Membrane The nuclear membrane allows substances to pass in and out of the nucleus It surrounds the nucleus (the brain) like the turtle s skull protects it

12. Vacuoles Vacuoles are spaces in the cytoplasm (gel) where food and chemicals are stored It s like fat on a turtle I am NOT fat I m just a little plump!!

13. Cell Wall Cell Walls are only in plant cells They make the cell strong and rigid They are like a turtle s shell (but only plants have them that s why grass stands straight up!)

14. Chloroplasts Chloroplasts are only in plant cells They contain chlorophyll, which helps make energy/food from sunlight Chlorophyll is green in color so any plant that is green has chloroplasts I m green do I have chloroplasts?

15. Whats the Difference? So what are two things that Plant cells have that animal cells don t? ? Chloroplasts & Cell Walls

16. What would happen if animals had Chloroplasts?

17. Now, lets review Cell Membrane Chromosomes Mitochondria Plant/Animal Cell Wall Nucleus Nuclear Membrane Cytoplasm Cell Differentiation Cells Chloroplasts Vacuoles

18. Congratulations You now know all the vocabulary for cells
