The 7 signs of life

Animal and plant cells Here is a picture of a plant cell and an animal cell. Cells are the smallest units of life. Some cells can exist on their own, whilst others are found in groups. Humans are a collection of many billions of cells, all working together.

7A What is a cell? While some cells do look different, all cells have three basic features. nucleus cytoplasm cell membrane

7A Do all cells look the same? Most cells have three basic parts. nucleus
cytoplasm
cell membrane
But cells can be different shapes and sizes and also have different functions. This is because they are…
specialised The shape of a cell is related to its function. Where do you see this idea in sport?

7A Specialised rugby players Why are the players in a rugby union team different shapes and sizes?
Rugby players are different shapes and sizes because they do different jobs for the team.
Like rugby players, cells are different shapes and sizes because they perform different jobs. © Boardworks Ltd 2003
Whose cell is it anyway?

Plant cells Therefore, if plants and animals are different shapes, they must be made of different shaped cells. Let’s have a look at the shape of a basic plant cell.

Cell shapes Now that we know what the basic structure of a plant and animal cell is, we can begin looking at the bigger picture.
Cells are not flat…..
…they are usually three-dimensional The 3D shape of the cell will be determined by its location in the body and the job it does. © Boardworks Ltd 2003
Bring it to life! You can make your own 3D cell using the following equipment. • Plastic bag • Cellulose paste • Cardboard box
You will need to find some small objects to suspend in the cellulose paste. These will represent the internal structures of the cell.
Try to make a model of both the plant and animal cell. Then label these and display them.

Cell-play A great way to visualize how a cell functions, is to become one! You can get people to stand in a circle, holding hands to represent a cell membrane. Then, get other people to be the nucleus and so on. If you are feeling adventurous, you can even dress up to represent the job of that part of the cell. Make sure you have a cell membrane and a nucleus as a minimum. Then you can choose from the list and role-play cell activity. • Cell Membrane • Glucose • Nucleus • Starch • Cell Wall • Chloroplast • Vacuole • Light • Water • Waste Material © Boardworks Ltd 2003
From Cell to Organism As we know, all life is built of cells. The way we look is the result of the types of cell we are made of and the way those cells are organised. For example, if we look at the cells of the plant and animal, it is no surprise that plants and animals look different…

How is the body organised? To help us understand this, think of how a school is organised.
A school needs to be very organised. Every pupil in the school needs to know where they should be and what they are doing. However... Not all pupils study the same subjects. Not all pupils can work together efficiently. There is not room for all the pupils to be in the same place.

How is the body organised? Therefore, a school uses the following system. One pupil Registration groups Subject classes A year group A school

How is the body organised? This hierarchy of organisation is also found in living organisms. Each specific cell Is grouped with cells similar in structure and function.
We call this a tissue. © Boardworks Ltd 2003

This is because you are constantly producing new cells and these new cells are produced from your existing cells.

Where do cells come from? You will have seen that our bodies produce cells for three main reasons:
REPAIR REPRODUCTION GROWTH New cells are produced from old cells dividing.
© Boardworks Ltd 2003
Where do cells come from? Q. Can you think of a problem if one cell splits to produce two cells? A. The two new cells would be smaller than the original cell. Therefore, a cell needs to make new copies of the material inside itself as well as the membrane and nucleus. Just before a cell divides, it will appear to grow slightly as it reproduces everything inside itself. The nucleus must also divide into two equal halves. This only occurs once the nucleus has doubled from its original size. © Boardworks Ltd 2003
