• On your whiteboard sketch what you think an animal cell looks like
• Try to label some of the features

• On your whiteboard sketch what you think a plant cell looks like
• Try to label some of the features

• Lesson Learning Outcomes :
Define the term organelle
Label organelles in animal and plant cells
Increasing Difficulty
Describe the function of different organelles within cells

• The mitochondria are an organelle that make
ATP, which we use for energy
• This process is called respiration
• They have a double membrane and a fluid inside called a matrix which is filled with enzymes involved in the reactions of respiration

Glossary Definition
Organelle: these are the organs of a cell. They are the smallest component of a cell which carries out a specific function

• Copy this table and fill it in for each organelle!
organelle Function

organelle mitochondria nucleus
Plasma membrane chloroplast nucleoid
Cell wall ribosomes vacuole
Function
Site of aerobic respiration
Where DNA is stored (inside a nuclear membrane)
Controls what goes in and out of a cell
Where photosynthesis occurs, contains chlorophyll
Where DNA is stored in prokaryotes
(no membrane)
Stops plant and bacterial cells shrinking or bursting due to osmosis, made of cellulose
Where proteins are produced
Area for sugars and salts to be stored in plant cells

• In your table groups decide if you are going to model a plant or animal call
• your model must include the organelles you researched (only appropriate ones!)

• The number….. ‘s are going to stay put
• The rest of you are going to move to another group, the person from the group you move to is going to explain their model to you

• On a post it note write down a What went well and an even better if for the group you visited
