Cells
• What are cells? – Cells are the basic building blocks of living thing.
• Can we see cells with our eyes? – No, we need to use a microscope because they are too
small.• How are new cells formed? – New cells are formed by a process called cell division.
• Do animal and plant cells have the same structure? – No, some of the parts are the same but plant cells have
a cell wall animal cells do not.

Cell Division
• Cells can divide to form two identical cells.
• This process is called Cell Division.
• Cell division allows living things to grow.
• Humans grow from a single cell called a zygote by cell division.

To form two identical cells

Animal Cells• Animal cells have three main
parts – A cell membrane – A nucleus – Cytoplasm
• The cell membrane is a very thin layer surrounding the cell.
• The nucleus is the control centre of the cell.
• Cytoplasm is a watery fluid between the nucleus and the cell membrane.

Plant Cells
• Plant cells also have a cell membrane, a nucleus and cytoplasm.
• Plant cells also have a cell wall.
• The cell wall is found outside the cell membrane in plant cells.

Tissues
• Plants and animals contain many different types of cells.
• Cells on the inside of your cheek are very different from red blood cells.
• A group of similar cells which carry out the same function are called Tissues.

Examples of Tissues
• Tissues are a group of cells which carry out the same function
Red blood Cells
Bone CellsCheek Cells

Organs
• A structure that contains two or more tissues working together is called an organ.
• Some examples of organs are ―Lungs―Heart―Brain―Kidneys―Leaves―Roots
Is this what a heart looks like?NO! It looks more like this and it is about the size of your closed fist

Systems
• A system is a number of organs working together.
• Examples of systems in the human body are— The respiratory system— The digestive system— The reproduction
system

Organisms
• An organism is a living thing.• Organisms are composed of a number of
systems.• These systems work together to allow the
organism to function properly and stay alive• Organisms are organised as shown below
