How can you explain the ways cells contribute to the function of living organisms?

LEARNING TARGETS

INPUT RESOURCES

Use these to get information when you are working ahead or when you need to review a skill or concept.

Take notes on these resources.

EVIDENCE

Do these activities and practice exercises to improve your skills and show proficiency.

MS-LS1-1: I can conduct an investigation to provide evidence that living things are made of cells; either one cell or many different numbers and types of cells.

You know you’ve got it when…

You can explain the main ideas for cell theory.
You are able to identify living and nonliving organisms.
You can provide examples of how living things can be made of one or many cells.

Cell Theory - the facts

Cell Theory - The History

What is a microscope?

Living Things Video (start at 1:22)

2 types of cells

What do cells have in common?

preparing an onion cell slide

preparing your cheek cell slide

MORE INFORMATION (optional):

7 characteristics of life - take notes

Cell Theory Powerpoint

Cell Theory Match You can use your notes for this Must-do

Living/Nonliving Sort- Make a copy and complete

2 Types of Cells - Make a copy and complete

CLASS ACTIVITIES:

*As a class discuss what makes something living and nonliving?

*Prepare onion/cheek cells and look at them under the microscope

MS-LS1-2: I can develop & use a model to describe the function of a cell as a whole and ways the parts of cells contribute to the function

You know you’ve got it when…

You can identify the different structures and functions of plant and animal cells, including the cell wall, cell membrane, mitochondria, nucleus, and chloroplasts.
You understand that the cell membrane forms the boundary that controls what enters and leaves the cell.

MORE PRACTICE (Optional):

compare a plant and animal cell - scroll down to do both parts.

Animations from of Amoeba Sisters! - Check out other animations they have :)

Centrosome - an organelle which gives the cell it’s shape and helps the cell reproduce. (the cell uses this skeleton to move around)	Cell Membrane- The thin film like outer layer that holds the cell together. It works like a gatekeeper allowing certain substances in and out.	ATP Adenosine Triphosphate - store the cells energy (like the cells money)	Cell Wall - Cell walls are in plant cells and are made of specialized sugars called cellulose. Cell walls also help a plant keep its shape and protect the cell. They also help plants grown to great heights.
Cytoplasm - is the fluid that fills a cell which can turn 1 glucose into 2 ATP. The cells organelles are suspended in the cytoplasm.	Glucose- is like fuel - the cell uses it and turns it into ATP. This is the scientific word for sugar.	Mitochondria - like the cells power plant. The mitochondria powers the cell from the food we eat. Makes 1 glucose into 38 ATP	Vacuole - These are storage bubbles found in cells. They are found in both plants and animal cells, but are much larger in plant cells. Vacuoles can store a variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive.
Organelle- Cellular organs. Each organelle has a special job and is suspended in the cytoplasm.	Nucleus - the central command structure of the cell which directs all the activities. The nucleus contains the cell’s DNA.	Nucleic Acid - makes RNA, which is like a blueprint or map for protein.	Chloroplast - an organelle found in plant cells which use sunlight to make glucose. Plants are green because they have chloroplasts.
Amino Acids - are molecules that make protein. They are the cells building blocks.	Ribosomes - are like the factories, the nucleus gives them orders and they make things using the nucleic acids	Slicer Enzymes - tracks down and kills viral RNA.	Defensins - are proteins in the cell membrane which block viruses from entering
Viruses - invade the cell and reproduce. A virus has a protein coat and viral RNA. Viruses try to get their RNA to the ribosomes. Then the ribosomes make more viruses.	Fatty Acids - the cytoplasm can turn 4 glucose into 1 fatty acid, which happens when your cell has too much glucose. Fatty acids are molecules used to make the membrane	Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R) - is an organelle where the membrane is produced. It produces vesicles	Peroxisome - is a vesicle made by the E.R. which absorbs free radicals.
Free Radicals - poisonous garbage which mitochondria produce along with ATP. The free radicals can damage organelles.	DNA Repair Enzymes - are special proteins which repair the nucleus.	Vesicles - is a membrane bubble with protein inside, there are many types of vesicles. vesicles also carry organelles.	Golgi Body - is an organelle which sorts and processes vesicles.
Lysosome - is a vesicle filled with acid and can recycle large organelles.	Cell Theory - The ideas that 1.All living things are made of cells. 2.Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things. 3.Living cells come only from other living cells.
