Cells Presentation Day 1

Life Science The Science of who we are, where we live and how we live

Cells  Everything that is alive on Earth is made up of cells. An entire living thing can be one cell or it can be billions.  Cells are the building blocks of life.

Cells are the Starting Point  Cells are small compartments that hold all of the biological equipment necessary to keep an organism alive and successful on Earth.

Types of Cells  There are many types of cells. In biology class, you will usually work with plant-like cells and animal-like cells.

Humans  Humans have hundreds of types of cells.  Some cells are used to carry oxygen (O2) through the blood (red blood cells) and others might be specific to the heart.
