Let's review the parts of a plant cell that you have learned about over the last month, starting with the nucleus, cell membrane, and cytoplasm.
What parts of the human body are most similar to the nucleus and cell membrane?
The cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance that helps the cell keep its shape. It is made up of water and nutrients. What characteristics of the cytoplasm show that it contains water? (choose 2)
More organelles in a cell include the mitochondria, vacuole, and chromosomes.
take in nutrients and break them down. This gives the cell . store water and are larger in a .
is made of DNA and found inside the .
Match the part of the cell to its function.
Different cell parts support the cell in different ways. Which real-life example is each cell part most similar to?
Plants cells have two additional organelles.
What cell part does each job?
The is the command center of the cell.
The is the powerhouse of the cell and makes energy.
The stores water and is larger in a plant cell.
The lets things in and out of the cell.
The are found inside the nucleus and are made of DNA.
The protects and supports the plant cell.
The is a jelly-like substance that surrounds the organelles.
The is a green organelle that makes food for the plant cell.
How are all plants different from animals?
Plants get their energy from the Sun. However, animals cannot get their energy from the Sun. What does this tell us?
Click on the parts of a plant cell that are not found in an animal cell.

Which of the following are not found in an animal cell? (choose 2)
Check for Understanding:
1. Chloroplasts and the cell wall are cell parts that are only found in plant cells.
2. Chloroplasts use the Sun's energy to create food for a plant.
3. The cell wall helps protect a plant cell and gives it a rigid, rectangular shape.
What is the nucleus?
Pick the cell organelle that goes with the definition:
a rigid structure that protects the cell and gives the cell its shape.
the thin outer layer of the cell that controls what enters and leaves the cell
the jelly-like substance that fills the cell
a storage area for water, food, and waste inside the cell
Pick the cell organelle that goes with the definition:
structures that burn food to make energy for the cell
structures that create food for the cell from the Sun’s energy
structure that controls the cell
structures that are inside the nucleus and are made of DNA
Drag the name to the organelle.
When you look at a house, you see one whole building, but if you have ever seen a house being built, you know there are many systems and pieces to put it together.
Which systems make up a house?
Just like a house is composed of many systems and parts, the human body is equally as complex.
Levels of organization of the human body.
Organism: A living thing that can function on its own.
Put the Levels of Organization in order from simplest on the top to most complex on the bottom.

organ system
cell
tissue
organism
Tissues work together to form a special body part, called a that fulfills a special function for the body.
If one organ in an organ system stops working, the other organs in the system will .
The body is divided into organ systems. The organ systems are responsible for specific functions that keep your body running.
Which of these are NOT organ systems of the human body. (choose 3)
Just like individual organs work together to form organ systems, different organ systems work with each other to help the body function. Without one organ system, the other systems will struggle function.
Organ systems do not work together.
The skeletal system helps you stand, and the muscular system helps you to move. Which of the following functions will those organ systems work together to complete. (choose 3)
Organ systems working together are most similar to:
The stomach, large intestine, and small intestine are all organs in the digestive system. If the small intestine stopped working, which of the following would be likely to happen? (choose 3)
Check for Understanding
1. Organs work in groups called organ systems.
2. Organ systems work together to perform tasks and body functions.
3. If one organ, or organ system, does not function properly, the other organs and systems can also suffer.
Your body is digesting food and using it for energy. Select the system being used.
A cell is to a tissue as an organ is to a(n)
