What are living things made of?
Cells work together to carry out the seven life processes that are needed for an organism to stay alive.
Other organisms are multicellular – they are made up of many types of cells. Can you think of some examples of unicellular and multicellular organisms?
Some organisms are unicellular – they are made up of only one cell.
Cells are the building blocks of life – they come in all shapes and sizes.

What is a cell?Animal and plant cells come in different shapes and sizes, but they all have three basic features.
Plant cells also have some extra features that make them different to animal cells.
cell membrane
cytoplasm
nucleus
animal cell plant cellMost cells have three basic parts: the nucleus, cytoplasm and cell membrane. They may also contain other small structures or organelles, that perform specific jobs.
Comparing animal and plant cells
Found in both animal and plant cells
Found only in plant cells

cytoplasm chloroplast
Functions of the organelles
Organelle Function
Cell surface membrane
Controls what goes in and out of the cell.Keeps the cell together.
Cytoplasm Jelly-like substance.Where the cell’s chemical reactions take place.
Nucleus Contains the DNA.Controls the cell.
Cell wall Supports the cell.Made out of cellulose.
Cell vacuole Contains cell sap.Helps support the cell
Chloroplast Contain chlorophyll, a green pigment.Make the plants’ food by photosynthesis.
Specialised cells
Different cells have different functions.
The structure of the specialised cells relates
to their function.
