Gizmo- Cell Structure KEY Takeaways
• Cells = basic unit of life (made up of atoms/molecules)
• 2 groups of cells: Prokaryote (NO nucleus) and Eukaryote (nucleus)
• Bacteria = Prokaryote
• Protists, Fungi, Plant, and Animals = Eukaryote

• Plant Cells vs Animal Cells

• Plant cells have 3 things that animal cells do not:
1. Chloroplasts (photosynthesis – produces food from sun, CO2 & H2O)
2. cell walls (structural support)
3. larger vacuoles (increased volume for water storage)
