3. TYPES OF CELLS

4. INSIDE THE ANIMAL CELL

5. PARTS OF THE CELL
•

6. NUCLEUS
• Nucleus: The cell nucleus acts like the brain of the
cell. It helps control eating, movement, and
reproduction

7. MITOCHONDRIA
• Mitochondria: They are organelles that act like a
digestive system that takes in nutrients, breaks them
down, and creates energy for the cell.

8. CYTOPLASM
• Cytoplasm: Fluids that fill the cell.

9. CELL MEMBRANE
• Cell Membrane: keeps any nasty things outside the
cell. The holes are there to let some things move in
and out of the cell.

10. VACUOLE
• Vacuole: 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
