CELLS
A cell is the smallest unit of living matter.
Cells contain all the chemicals and
molecules necessary to keep an organism
alive.
What is a cell?
Take these items out from your pencil case.
What functions do they serve?
Are their functions interchangeable?
Activity
CELLS
Similarly, we have different types of
cells in our bodies.
These many different kinds of cells
have different functions.

WHAT IS INSIDE A CELL?
Organelles:
are organised or specialised structures within a
living cell, each with a unique function,
What is inside a cell?
ANIMAL CELL CITY
Ribosome
Factory
Lysosome
Recycling
facility
Creates new proteins required
for the cell
Nucleus
City Hall
Breaks down worn out cell
components and reuses materials
Golgi complex
Post office
Controls the activities of the cell
Mitochondrion
POWER STATION
Packs and transports proteins to
various parts of the cell
Produces energy for use by
the cell from glucose
Cytoplasm
Environment
Cell membrane
City POLICE
Inner space of the cell
Allows particles to move in/out of the cell
Cell City: Animal
