| W |
the similarities and differences between plant and animal cell:
- Plant and animal cells both have: cell membrane; cytoplasm; nucleus; mitochondria & ribosomes.
- Only plant cells have: cell wall; permanent vacuole and sometimes chloroplasts. |
|
Compare an animal and plant cells. Draw a human cheek cell as a standard animal cell.
Double bubble to compare. |
|
|
| A |
Students to sort diagrams (or photos for higher ability) of animal and plant cells based on their characteristics.
- Root hair cell
- Red blood cell
- Elodea cell
- Ciliated cell |
|
How are you able to tell the difference between an animal and plant cell? Sorting photos of cell diagrams |
|
|
| W |
That cells have special characteristics, different organelles and shape, in order to fulfill their function. |
|
Give 3 examples of specialised plant or animal cells. How are they different to other cells and how does this help the cells complete their specialist function? Use Specialised cells powerpoint. |
|
|
| W |
Root hair cells have a large surface area to absorb water and nutrients. RHC have no chloroplasts as light does not get to them. |
|
What is the function of a root hair cell and how is the cell specialised to do this? |
|
|
| W |
Red blood cells have a rounded shape to allow it to flow smoothly. Is red due to the iron compound used to carry oxygen. RBC have no nucleus and a biconcave cross section to increase oxygen capacity. |
|
What adaptations do red blood cells have in order to efficiently carry oxygen around the body? |
|
|
| W |
Elodea cell have lots of chloroplasts to capture light. |
|
What special adaptation do Elodea have? Why do they have this? |
|
|
| W |
Ciliated cells have hairs on them to move substances around. |
|
Why do ciliated cells have hairs? |
|

NB: Do not use a palisade cell as this will be used in 3B. |
