1
Plant and Animal Cells

• Grade 4 Unit 3 Lesson 1

2
Topics Covered

• cell definition
• parts of plant and animal cells
• comparison of plant and animal cells
• different types of animal cells

3
What is a cell?
definition a small compartment that holds all of
the biological equipment necessary to keep an
organism alive
4
About cells
Their main purpose is to organize.
They make up all living things.
Cells are alive!
5
Animal CellWhat is it?

• a form of eukaryotic cell

• makes up many tissues in animals

• many types (cheek, nerve, muscle, skin)

6
Plant CellWhat is it?

• a structural and functional unit of a plant

• different plant cells have different roles

• many types (parenchyma, collenchyma,
  sclerenchyma)

Animal Cells
Each type of animal cell is specialized to do
different jobs.

• Nerve cells electrochemically send information
  between sensory receptors and the central nervous
  system.

dendrites
axon

Animal Cells
Each type of animal cell is specialized to do
different jobs.

• Blood cells carry oxygen to the bodys tissues
  and collect carbon dioxide. They also carry
  hormones, enzymes, and vitamins to different
  parts of the body.

white blood cell
red blood cell
13
Animal Cells
Each type of animal cell is specialized to do
different jobs.

• Muscle cells comprise the three different types
  of muscles skeletal, cardiac, and smooth types.
  These cells are shaped differently and enable
  these muscles to help our bodies function
  properly.

14
Animal Cells
Each type of animal cell is specialized to do
different jobs.

• Skin cells make up the tissue that covers our
  bodies. These cells are good at providing a
  barrier to the external environment and at
  preventing water loss.

bone cells
There are many other types of animal cells!
