Cell Organelles

Animal and Plant Cell Foldable

Examples






Essential Cell Organelles
Cell wall
Cell membrane
Cytoplasm
Nucleus
Nuclear membrane
Nucleolus
Vacuoles
Mitochondria
Endoplasmic reticulum
Ribosomes
Golgi body
Chloroplasts

    For each organelle you are responsible for:
    • Where it is present in an animal cell, plant cell, or both
    • Where it is found in the cell
    • What the organelle looks like (structure)
    • What the organelle does (function)

    Cells and All Living things

    Cell Unit- Standards

    NGSS Standards Assessed

    Develop and use a model to describe the function of a cell as a whole and ways parts of
    cells contribute to the function. 
    (MS-LS1-2)

    Conduct an investigation to provide evidence that living things are made of cells; either
    one cell or many different numbers and types of cells. 
    (MS-LS1-1)


    Here is a collage of a set of living organisms.
    What do all these things share being living?
