WE HAVE CONCLUDED THAT…
Organelles To Focus On:
Cell Wall – Support and protect plant cell
Nucleus – Control Center of the cell
Chloroplast – Where plant cells make food
(photosynthesis)
Mitochondria – Makes energy for the cell
Cell Membrane – Controls what is allowed in and out
of a cell
Cytoplasm – jelly-like substance where organelles are
contained
Vacuole – storage unit of the cell
6 Kingdoms:
Eubacteria and Archaebacteria (Monera)
– single-celled, doesn’t have a nucleus or
organelles (bacteria)
Protist – one-celled (Amoeba)
Plant – multi-cellular, has a cell wall and chloroplasts
Animal – multi-cellular, doesn’t have a cell wall or
chloroplasts
Fungi – multi-cellular, decomposers
Cellular to Multicellular
