The Plant and Animal Cells

What I Need to Know
In the previous module, you learned that there are different levels of Biological organization from
smallest to the biggest- cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, population, community, ecosystem then
Biosphere.
The cell being the smallest and basic unit of life is considered completely alive. It is the basic
functional and structural unit of life because all organisms are made up of cells and all the functions of the
body (physiological, biochemical, genetics and other functions) are carried by the cell.
Most of the cells cannot be seen by our unaided eye, but because of the advancement in science and
the invention of the Microscope, the study how life is carried out in the smallest level of organization in an
organism is now being unlocked. Have you not wondered how do cells look like? Are all cells the same? If
not, in what ways are they different?
After completing this module, you are expected to:
 Differentiate plant and animal cells according to presence or absence of certain organelles (S7LT-
IIc-3) and explain why the cell is considered the basic structural and functional unit of all
organisms(S7LT-IIe-5).

In activity 1 and 2, You were refreshed that the whole living world and the Living organisms like
plants and animals are structured and organized into different levels, and the smallest level in the Biological
organization are called Cells.

What is it

Cells are considered as the basic structural and functional unit of life since all organisms are made
up of cells and all the functions that take place inside the body of the living organisms are performed by
cells. Through the advancement in Science and the invention of the Microscope, the details about cells are
being studied intensively. Cells are not all the same and each part of the cell has a unique job to perform!
That is why it is considered as the smallest living unit of an organism!

THE PARTS OF THE CELL AND THEIR FUNCTIONS

Nucleus- serves as the
control center of the cell.
Plasma membrane/cell membrane- permits
some substances but prevents
others to pass through it.
Cytoplasm- a clear, jelly-like fluid that fills the
Figure 2. Source shorturl.at/hmtLO inside of the cell and surrounds all of the internal
structures and where all the rest of the parts of the
cell are found as well as the hosts of the processes
taking place inside the cell.
Vacuoles - are storage bubbles found in cells. They
are found in both animal and plant cells but are
much larger in plant cells that stores much water.
Scientists also called it vesicle in animal cells.
Vacuoles might store food or any variety of
nutrients a cell might need to survive. They can even store waste products so the rest of the cell is protected
from contamination. in some species of plant, it contains a poisonous substance to protect them against
their predator.
Centrioles- can only be found in animal cells and are structures needed for cell multiplication that will be
taken by you in higher science.
Mitochondrion- the powerhouse of the cell since it produces energy necessary for each and every single cell
to perfrom their jobs.

3
Golgi body/apparatus- the packaging center of the cell.it sorts,modifies,packages cell products where they
are needed.
Rough Endoplasmic reticulum- with attached ribosomes that manufacture proteins.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum- contains no ribosomes. It is the fat and lipids maker.
Ribosomes- the manufacturer of protein in the cell.
Nucleolus- the structure within the nucleus that produced ribosomes.
Lysosomes- the suicide bags of the cell. They destroy cell debris that are not useful anymore.
Cell wall- gives shape and protection for plant cells. It is only present in plant cell.
Chloroplast- the green organelle responsible for manufacturing food in the process called photosynthesis.It
is only present in plant cell.

What’s More

Now, you have learned that the cell is in itself living and performing the basic life processes for the
organism to sustain life, let us perform series of activities to understand more about cells and the difference
between plant and animal cells.

What I Have Learned

ACVITY 7: Share Similarities, Celebrate Differences!
Directions: Put a check mark () on the appropriate box. The first part is done for you.

Now we learned that Plants and Animal Cells have similarities and differences but all of the parts of their
cell are specialized for a specific purpose and regardless of what kind of cell,each is capable of carrying out
all the functions which are necessary for a living being. Perform activity 8 for you to be able to explain why
the cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life.

ACTIVITY 8: A Cell-ebration! 7

Directions: Study figure 3 below and answer the questions that follow by ticking (√) the box of the correct
answer.

1. What is the basic unit or building blocks of all organisms base on the
picture?
Cells
Tissues
2. Why are cells considered as the structural and functional unit of life?
(Check only 7 )

All organisms are made up of cells.

All cells are capable to perform all essential functions of life and it is the
sole base for making the entire body of the organism.
Each organism starts its life as a single cell.
All functions that take inside the Body of organims are
performed by cells.
Cells are specialized to perform various tasks.
Only plants have cells and they are not alive.
All animals have cells that live and breathe.
The cell itself is the smallest fundamental unit of structure and function
in living organisms that is considered completely alive.

Mi Ultimo Adios (Dr. Jose Rizal)
Adiós, Patria adorada, región del sol querida,
Perla del mar de oriente, nuestro perdido Edén!
A darte voy alegre la triste mustia vida,
Y fuera más brillante, más fresca, más florida,
También por ti la diera, la diera por tu bien.
En campos de batalla, luchando con delirio,
Otros te dan sus vidas sin dudas, sin pesar;
El sitio nada importa, ciprés, laurel o lirio,
Cadalso o campo abierto, combate o cruel martirio,
Lo mismo es si lo piden la patria y el hogar.
Yo muero cuando veo que el cielo se colora
Y al fin anuncia el día tras lóbrego capuz;
si grana necesitas para teñir tu aurora,
Vierte la sangre mía, derrámala en buen hora
Y dórela un reflejo de su naciente luz.
Mis sueños cuando apenas muchacho adolescente,
Mis sueños cuando joven ya lleno de vigor,
Fueron el verte un día, joya del mar de oriente,
Secos los negros ojos, alta la tersa frente,
Sin ceño, sin arrugas, sin manchas de rubor
Ensueño de mi vida, mi ardiente vivo anhelo,
¡Salud te grita el alma que pronto va a partir!
¡Salud! Ah, que es hermoso caer por darte vuelo,
Morir por darte vida, morir bajo tu cielo,
Y en tu encantada tierra la eternidad dormir.
Si sobre mi sepulcro vieres brotar un día
Entre la espesa yerba sencilla, humilde flor,
Acércala a tus labios y besa al alma mía,
Y sienta yo en mi frente bajo la tumba fría,
De tu ternura el soplo, de tu hálito el calor.
Deja a la luna verme con luz tranquila y suave,
Deja que el alba envíe su resplandor fugaz,
Deja gemir al viento con su murmullo grave,
Y si desciende y posa sobre mi cruz un ave,
Deja que el ave entone su cántico de paz.
Deja que el sol, ardiendo, las lluvias evapore
Y al cielo tornen puras, con mi clamor en pos;
Deja que un ser amigo mi fin temprano llore
Y en las serenas tardes cuando por mí alguien ore,
¡Ora también, oh Patria, por mi descanso a Dios!
Ora por todos cuantos murieron sin ventura,
Por cuantos padecieron tormentos sin igual,
Por nuestras pobres madres que gimen su amargura;
Por huérfanos y viudas, por presos en tortura
Y ora por ti que veas tu redención final.
Y cuando en noche oscura se envuelva el cementerio
Y solos sólo muertos queden velando allí,
No turbes su reposo, no turbes el misterio,
Tal vez accordes oigas de cítara o salterio,
Soy yo, querida Patria, yo que te canto a ti.
Y cuando ya mi tumba de todos olvidada
No tenga cruz ni piedra que marquen su lugar,
Deja que la are el hombre, la esparza con la azada,
Y mis cenizas, antes que vuelvan a la nada,
El polvo de tu alfombra que vayan a formar.
Entonces nada importa me pongas en olvido.
Tu atmósfera, tu espacio, tus valles cruzaré.
Vibrante y limpia nota seré para tu oído,
Aroma, luz, colores, rumor, canto, gemido,
Constante repitiendo la esencia de mi fe.
Mi patria idolatrada, dolor de mis dolores,
Querida Filipinas, oye el postrer adiós.
Ahí te dejo todo, mis padres, mis amores.
Voy donde no hay esclavos, verdugos ni opresores,
Donde la fe no mata, donde el que reina es Dios.
Adiós, padres y hermanos, trozos del alma mía,
Amigos de la infancia en el perdido hogar,
Dar gracias que descanso del fatigoso día;
Adiós, dulce extranjera, mi amiga, mi alegría,
Adiós, queridos seres, morir es descansar.
