The sperm cell fertilized the egg cell and formed a
zygote. . .

The zygote divided into two, then four cells.

What had to happen in order to change the four cells you saw on the last slide to the small fetus you viewed on this slide?

The cells had to differentiate from stem cells, and they had to divide so the animal could grow

Based on their structure, what is the function of these nerve cells?
Based on their structure, what is the function of these nerve cells?
Nerve cells have long projections that send and receive signals.
Just like different cells have different functions based on their structure,
different parts of the cell (organelles) have specificfunctions as well
The cell membrane
The cell membrane
Based on the video, what functions does the cell membrane accomplish for the
cell?
The cell membrane
Based on the video, what functions does the cell membrane accomplish for the
cell?It provides structure, and it helps transport
molecules
The cytoplasm
*The cytoplasm is the liquid and organelles inside the cell.
*Nutrients are dissolved in it.
*Materials the cells needs are also dissolved in the liquid.
The nucleus
Function: It stores DNA (genetic information) in the form of chromosomes
Mitochondria
Mitochondria
How does the structure of this organellerelate to its function?
Mitochondria
How does the structure of this organellerelate to its function?
It converts sugar into ATP through cellular respiration - the folds of the inner membrane increase surface area.
The ribosome
The ribosome
The ribosome
Function:Along with the nucleus and the
endoplasmic reticulum, the
ribosome helps create new
molecules for the cell
(proteins)
Lysosomes
Lysosomes are organelles that containenzymes that help the cell break down waste,
food, and dead cell parts
How is a plant cell different from an animal cell?
Plant cells contain cell walls for structure
They have a cell wall in addition to a cell membrane. It is much more rigid, and it provides a framework for the
cell.

The large central vacuole
has several functions.
It can hold waste, and it helps
maintains a cell’s turgidity.
