Life and Living Things

5th Grade Science S5L3 Students will diagram
and label parts of various cells
Life and Living Things
Cells
2
This presentation will address the following
Learning goals
Define and identify living and nonliving
Define cells
Identify the types of cells
Identify the parts of a cells and their functions

Living Things

• We are surrounded by living and non-living
  things. All animals and plants are living things
  and biology is the study of these living things.
  A cat playing with a ball is obviously living. A
  pigeon flying from tree to tree is also a living
  thing.

4

• Sometimes it is not so easy to decide. Plants are
  living things but they do not play with balls or
  fly. If something is living it will carry out all
  of the seven activities shown opposite.

5

• In science, living is used to describe anything
  that is or has ever been alive (dog, flower,
  seed, road kill, log)

6
Examples
7
Nonliving Things

• Nonliving is used to describe anything that is
  not now nor has ever been alive (rock, mountain,
  glass, wristwatch).

CELLS

Cells

• A cell is the basic unit of life. All living
  organisms (or once living organisms) are composed
  of one (unicellular) or more (multicellular)
  cells.
• Q. What does uni- mean?
• A. One
• Q. What does multi- mean?
• A. Multiple, many or more than one

14
What is the smallest part of this living thing?
Cells !
15
Graphic Organizer
All organisms -living things- are made of cells.
Cells do the jobs that keep organisms alive.
Cells
Cells are the smallest part of a living thing.
These cells are like tiny building blocks.

Types of Cells
18
There are two types of cells

• Animal Cell

• Plant Cell

Do you notice any differences?

Comparison of Cells
22
Compare and Contrast plant and animal cells.
Animal Cells Plant Cells

• Cell wall
• Cell membrane
• Cytoplasm
• Vacuoles
• Chloroplasts
• Nucleus

• Cell membrane
• Cytoplasm
• Vacuoles
• Nucleus

23
Cytoplasm

• Type of cell found in ALL cells
• Function the cytoplasm is made up of a
  jelly-like fluid and other structures that
  surround the nucleus.
• Location Within cells

24
Nucleus

• Function The nucleus serves as the cells
  command center, sending directions to the cell to
  grow, mature, divide, or die. It also houses DNA,
  the cells hereditary material.
• Type of cell found in animal and plant cells
• Location The nucleus is surrounded by a membrane
  in the cytoplasm

25
Cell Membrane

• Function allows materials to enter and leave the
  cell.
• Type of cell found in All Cells
• Location outer lining of the cell. It separates
  the cell from its environment

26
Chloroplast

• Function food producers of the cell.
• Type of cells Found in The organelles are only
  found in plant cells. Animal cells do not have
  chloroplasts. 
• Location in the cytoplasm

27
Cell Wall

• Function Support and Protection
• Type of cells found in plant cells but not
  animal cells
• Location Outer layer surrounding the cell
  membrane
