4. What is a cell?

5. Let us try to complete the following statement that
would help us describe a cell.
A cell is the ______ unit of life that is responsible for all
of life's processes.
*Clue for the answer is the antonyms of complex.

6. Let us try to complete the following statement that
would help us describe a cell.
A cell is the basic unit of life that is responsible for all
of life's processes.
*Clue for the answer is the antonyms of complex.

7. CELL
• The cell (from Latin cella, meaning "small
room") is the basic structural, functional, and
biological unit of all known organisms.
• A cell is the smallest unit of life.
• Cells are often called the "building blocks of
life".

8. Two classification of cell:
1. Prokaryotic cell - are unicellular organisms that
lack organelles or other internal membrane-
bound structures. Therefore, they do not have a
nucleus, but, instead, generally have a single
chromosome: a piece of circular, double-
stranded DNA located in an area of
the cell called the nucleoid.
ex. Bacteria and archaea

9. 2. Eukaryotic cell – contains membrane-bound
organelles such as a nucleus, mitochondria, and
an endoplasmic reticulum.
examples: protists, fungi, plants, and animals
(everything except prokaryotes)
Take note: Organelles are tiny organs that
perform important life processes in the cell

10. PLANT CELL VS. ANIMAL CELL
PLANT CELL
Plant cells are the basic unit of life in
organisms of the kingdom Plantae. They are
eukaryotic cells, which have a true nucleus along
with specialized structures called organelles that
carry out different functions.

11. PARTS OF A PLANT CELL
Ribosome

12. ANIMAL CELL
Animal cells are typical of the eukaryotic cell,
enclosed by a plasma membrane and containing a
membrane-bound nucleus and organelles. Unlike
the eukaryotic cells of plants and fungi, animal
cells do not have a cell wall.

13. Parts of an Animal Cell
or vacuole

14. Basic Parts and Functions of a Cell
1.Cell wall - The primary function of the cell wall is to
protect and provide structural support to the cell. It is
made of cellulose.
2. Cell Membrane/Plasma Membrane – It encloses the
cell and separates what is inside it from its environment.
It also controls what goes in and out of the cell.
3. Cytoplasm - It consist of the jelly-like structure
where all the other parts of the cell are located.
4. Nucleus - Is an oval structure that is the control
center of the cell. It also contains materials that play a
role in heredity.
5. Endoplasmic Reticulum – transport protein to

15. 2 types of Endoplasmic Reticulum:
* Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum - is an organelle where
most of the ribosomes are attached. It is involved in
protein synthesis.
* Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum - is a branching
canal (without ribosomes) that transports large
molecules inside the cell. It also enables lipid
synthesis.
6. Ribosomes - Are small granular structures attached to
the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum. It helps
produce proteins
7. Golgi Apparatus/Golgi bodies - A stack of flattened
sacs located very close to the endoplasmic reticulum. It
modify, sort and package proteins produced in the

16. 9. Mitochondria - Are small, double-membraned,
spherical, or sausageshaped organelles involved in
the production of energy. The energy produces by
the mitochondria is important for the vital activities
of the cell such as growth and reproduction.
10. Vacuoles - Are large, round, water-filled sac
floating in the cytoplasm. Plant cells contain large
vacuoles, called central vacuoles while animal cells
contain a small vacuole. It stores food, enzymes, and
other materials needed by the cell.
11. Cytoskeleton - Is a network of thin and fibrous

17. 12. Lysosomes - Are small round structures
responsible for the digestive activities of the cell. It
removes harmful substances inside the cell by
breaking down waste products and old worn-out
cell parts.
13. Chloroplast - Chloroplast are irregularly shaped
green structures that contain a green pigment
called the chlorophyll. Chlorophyll captures the
energy of sunlight and uses it for food production
of a plant cell. Chloroplast is present only in plant
cell.
14. Centriole – only found in animal cells that
