Plant cells are large, rectangular in shape, and contain cell walls, plastids, and a large central vacuole. Animal cells are small and irregularly shaped, lacking cell walls but containing centrosomes and many small vacuoles. Both cell types contain mitochondria and nuclei, though plant cell nuclei are positioned off-center while animal cell nuclei are centered. Key differences are the presence of cell walls and plastids in plant cells, and centrosomes in animal cells. The document provides illustrations and questions to help students compare and contrast the structures found in plant versus animal cells.

Activity 1: What Makes Up an Organism? Materials Needed Writing materials Posters and pictures of organisms, organ systems, organs, tissues, and cells
Procedure Read the selection below and answer the questions that follow. You are an organism just like the plants and animals.
4 The circulatory system is one of the organ systems that make up an organism. It is made up of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. Figure 4 shows a model of a human heart. Your heart is about the size of your fist. It pumps and circulates blood to the different parts of the body through the blood vessels. Certain diseases affect the heart and cause it to function improperly. To learn more about these diseases and what they do to the heart, interview relatives or neighbors who have heart problems or who know of people who have the disease. You can also use the internet and the library to read articles about how certain diseases affect the heart, its parts, and the whole organism. Q5. Refer to Figure 4. What parts of the human heart do you see?
Q6. What do you think will happen to the heart if any of these parts were injured or diseased?
5 Q7. If these parts of the heart were injured or diseased, what do you think will happen to the organism? The excretory system is another organ system that makes up an organism. It is made up of different organs that help the body eliminate metabolic wastes and maintain internal balance. These organs include a pair of kidneys. Figure 5 shows a model of a human kidney. What shape does it look like?
The kidneys are made up of even smaller parts. Some parts
eliminate wastes that are no longer needed by the body; other parts function in the reabsorption of water and nutrients. Like the heart, certain diseases also affect the kidneys and their function. To learn more about these diseases and what they do to the kidneys, interview relatives or neighbors who have kidney problems or who know of people who have the disease. You can also use the internet and library resources to read articles or news clips about how certain diseases affect the kidneys - and the other organs of the body and the whole organism.
