LIFE SCIENCE TRIVIA: CELLS

Essential Question: What is the difference between an animal cell and a plant cell?

AKS: 13 identify the cell as the building block of living organism

AKS: 13b compare and contrast animal and plant cells

Trivia Question: CELLS: What are they?

Answer: Cells are the tiny building blocks that make up all living things.

Trivia Questions: What is the difference between an animal cell and a plant cell?

Answer: The cell wall gives the plant cell a stiff, rigid box-like shape. Animals don’t have cell walls. Also, plants have chloroplasts so they can make their own food.

Trivia Question: What are the cell organelles and their functions?

Answer:

• Both animal and plant cells have tiny organelles or parts inside them.

• Here are the parts you need to know: cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, nucleus, and chloroplasts.

• The cell membrane protects the cell and controls what substances enter and leave it.

• The nucleus is the cell’s control center. Genetic information is stored in the nucleus.

• The cell wall gives the plant cell a stiff, rigid box-like shape.

• Cytoplasm is the area between the cell membrane and the nucleus; it contains a gel-like fluid where the other organelles move around in.

• Chloroplasts capture energy from the sun and use it to manufacture its food, glucose.

Trivia Question: What are the two different shapes that you see in the plant and animal cell models?

Answer:

• PLANT CELLS are shaped like boxes or SQUARES.

• ANIMAL CELLS are circular or round.

Trivia Question: What TWO organelles do plant cells have, but animal cells DO NOT? WHY?

Answer: CHLOROPLASTS AND A CELL WALL

• Plants make their own food inside the chloroplasts.

• The cell wall helps create and maintain structure for the plant’s stem or trunk.
