That there is many kines of cells.There liver cells, Blood cells, White blood cells, Skin cells.

1. Cells are too small to be seen without magnification.
Cells range in size from 1 to 100 micrometers. The study of cells, also called cell biology, would not have been possible without the invention of the microscope. With the advance microscopes of today such as the Scanning Electron Microscope and Transmission Electron Microscope, cell biologists are able to obtain detailed images of the smallest of cell structures.

2. There are two primary types of cells.
Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells are the two main types of cells. Eukaryotic cells are called so because they have a true nucleus. Animals, plants, fungi and protists are examples of organisms that are composed of eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotes include bacteria and archaeans.

3. Prokaryotic single-celled organisms were the earliest and most primitive forms of life on earth.
Prokaryotes can live in environments that would be deadly to most other organisms. They are able to live and thrive in various extreme habitats. Archaeans for example, live in areas such as hydrothermal vents, hot springs, swamps, wetlands, and even animal intestines.

There are many cells that i cannot name.

Garrett H said...

The nucleus is in the middle of the cell and it is the brain of the cell.

Aaran H. said...

I relearned about the way a cell works. Roughly in the middle of the cell is it's nucleus and in the middle is the nucleolus.

Hunter J said...

I know the basic structure and function of cells.

Jordan M said...

I learned about an animal cell and a plant cell and that every living thing has cells.

there is a lot of cells and they have a cell wall and there also is and ukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells and organs and many more

Bryn W. said...

I learned about eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. I learned about the following parts of cells: Nucleus, Nucleolus, Chromatin, Cytoplasm, Mitochondrion, Ribosomes, Lysosomes, Cell Wall, Cell Membrane, E.R, Vacuole, etc. There are animal cells and plant cells. Plant cells have light energy. Animal cells don't. There are red blood cells, white blood cells, brain cells, heart/muscle cells, liver cells, kidney cells, skin cell.

James D said...

I know the basic stuff like the nucleolus

Hunter J said...

Eukaryotic cell

Maddy C. said...

I learned/relearned:
*not all cells have a nucleus
*plant cells use light for energy, and plant cells use food
*the parts of a cell are called oragnelles
*there are different kinds of cells that do different jobs. Like skin cells and things like that
*some organelles in the cell are the Golgi Body, cell membrane, ribosomes, smooth and rough E.R., ect.

The basic cells structure and function of cells and the nucleus is the control system.




























Zach S. said...

I learned that organelles are like small cell's within a cell . There are many different types of cells and I already knew that a nucleus is the brain of the cell.

Dominique G. said...

Kidney cells, E.R., Cell wall, Cell membrane, Liver cells, Heart/Muscle cells

Nucleus- The boss of the cell. Controls all of the cell's activity.
Chromatin- Bundle DNA.
Cytoplasm- The jelly like substance in the cell.

AlexisP said...

What I've learned in the past few weeks is that there are : White cells , red cells , plant cells and animal cells.

Lauryn Silva said...

I learned that there are many different parts of the cell. I learned that the part of the cell that controls the whole cell is the Nucleus. Not all types of cells have a nucleus. Some organelles are the smooth ER, the rough ER, the Mitochondria, the Golgi Bodies, and Cell Membrane. The parts that make a cell up are called Organelles.

like the nucleus

Katie L. said...

There are lots of different kinds of cells and they are not all the same. Some cells have a nucleus while others don't. Cells have lots of different parts that work together.

smitty said...

they r made up of orginals

Emily B. said...

I have learned that there are two types of cells animal, and plant. I learned about the nucleus and how it's like the boss of the cell and how animal cells have a cell membrane and a plant cell has a cell wall.

Max H said...

1. Animal cells have cell membranes, as the Plant cells have cell walls.
2. The nuceuli controls the cell.
3. There can be one celled organisms.

MorganD said...

There are a ton of different types cells. The nucleus is like the motor. Cells are made up of organelles.

I learned that there are a lot of different parts of the cell. The nucleus controls the entire cell. Cells are made up of organelles. Some are Rough ER, Smooth ER, and the golgi bodies.

ALice M. said...

In this section I learned:
-The parts of the cells are called organelles
-Not all cells have a nucleus
-The cells with a nucleus are called eukaryotic cells and cells with no nucleus are called prokaryotic cells
-

AlexisD said...

I know that there are different types of cells,Animal and plants cells,Animals cells have a nucleus, mitochondria,cell membrane,cell wall,cytoplasm,E.R.Smooth and rough. Chromatin,

Max H said...

nucleus

Aasyhia said...

I learned that cell have a lot of functions to it like nucleus, lysosome, ribosomes, cell wall, cell membrane,cytoplasm...etc.Nucleus controls what happens in the cell,cell wall protects the cell, cell membrane is the protective layer, cytoplasm is substance that constantly flows through the cell.

catie riley said...

i know that the nucleus is basically the brain of the whole cell and the little free ribosomes float around in the cell giving off protein to the body and the cell wall is like the shell it keeps everything in the cell together and protects it not all cells have a nucleus there are organelles that are rough(rough endoplasmic reticulum) and smoth ones (smooth endoplasmic reticulum)

Carly M. said...

Some of the organelles(Structures inside the cell) are Nucleus, mitochondria, cytoplasm, nucleolus, cytoskeleton, cell membrane, cell wall, ribosomes, lysosomes, and chloroplast. The types of cells are eukaryotic and prokaryotic.
There are plant and animal cells.

Jasmine B said...

Plant cells have a cell wall and animal cells don't, they have a cell membrane.Also, cells are made of organelles.

Owen R said...

Animals have a cell membrane. All cells in different organisms are built differently.

Kaylee C. said...

I re-learned that cells have nucleus's and that plant cells have cell walls and the animal cells do not.

Andrew E said...

The Cell wall is only found in plant cells, and is a layer of protection. Animal cells have a cell membrane. Cells are filled with cytoplasm.

Shane k said...

I learned that the nucleus is the commander of the cell, and I learned that there is a wall that protects the cell.

Maddy P. said...

Some of the parts of the cell are named the nucleus, mitochondria, cyotplasm, nucleolus, cytoskeleton, cell membrane, cell wall, ribosomes, lysosomes, and chloroplast. The types of cells are eukaryotic and prokaryotic. They are plant and animal cells. Plant cells have a cell wall and animal cells don't, they instead have a cell membrane. Also, cells are made of organelles.

Zachk said...

I now know that the nucleus is the control center of the entire cell.The free ribosomes float around inside of the the cell letting off protein to the body. The cell wall is like the cup of a pudding snack pack, it keeps things in.

Nathan C. said...

Cells have organelles, and organelles have different functions that support the cells survival.

Alissa H said...

Plant cells have cell walls and Animal cells have cell membrane. Cells have organells

Gia L said...

I learned that plant cells are different from animal cells. Plant cells have a cell wall, animal cells don't. Cells are made up of organelles. Cells are very small, so small you can only see them under a microscope.

kevinspearin said...

cells have organs like a heart and stuff

ConnorB said...

Cells have many parts like the nucleus and mitochondria. Only plant cells have plant walls. There are many different cells in the human body like skin cells, mussel cells and blood cells.

Journey B. said...

The nucleus is the boss, and it controls the cell. It holds all of the DNA (hereditary information) and tells the cell what to do. I learned the difference between rough ER and smooth ER. Rough ER has ribosomes in it, and smooth ER does not. The golgi body is like the packing and shipping section. The cytoskeleton is like the base of a cell. It holds the cell up and keeps it's shape. There are cells in all living things like animals, plants, and fungi. Plant cells have chloroplast, which is how they gain energy. Animals use mitochondria to get their energy. The cell wall is the outer part of the cell, and it's only in plant cells. Next is the membrane, and it let's certain things in and out of it. The lysosomes is the suicide sack, and hold digestive enzymes. Inside the nucleus is in the nucleolus.

Parker D. said...

Plant cells have a cell wall, where as animal cells don't. There are two different types of cells, Eukaryotic and prokaryotic. Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesys.

joe w said...

certain cells have different organells

Lauren S. said...

I learned what a Nucleus is. The Nucleus is what makes everything function. There are 2 types of cells Plant cells and animal cells.And that all cells have organelles...that have different functions.

The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all known living organisms. It is the smallest unit of life that is classified as a living thing (except virus, which consists only from DNA/RNA covered by protein and lipids), and is often called the building block of life.[1] Organisms can be classified as unicellular (consisting of a single cell; including most bacteria) or multicellular (including plants and animals). Humans contain about 10 trillion (1013) cells. Most plant and animal cells are between 1 and 100 µm and therefore are visible only under the microscope.[2]

The cell was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. The cell theory, first developed in 1839 by Matthias Jakob Schleiden and Theodor Schwann, states that all organisms are composed of one or more cells, that all cells come from preexisting cells, that vital functions of an organism occur within cells, and that all cells contain the hereditary information necessary for regulating cell functions and for transmitting information to the next generation of cells.[3]

The word cell comes from the Latin cella, meaning "small room". The descriptive term for the smallest living biological structure was coined by Robert Hooke in a book he published in 1665 when he compared the cork cells he saw through his microscope to the small rooms monks lived in.[4]

Some names of the parts of cells and some stuff about the human body. Also and the different types of cells.

jennw said...

I learned that the nucleus run every thing. the nucleus is what tmakes everything function. there are to tyoe of cells animal cells and plants they have orgnelles and animals have cells walls and plant cells don't.

david vincent said...

Cells are made up of organelles that provide energy and maintain function in the cell.Cells get their name from a monastery cell,the nucleus is the center of the cell and controls all of the cells activities.

DARREN P. said...

I've learned that the cell has a nucleus, a ribsome, a cell membrane, and some dna.

Cells have an outer wall or membrane. The cell has a Nucleus that runs the whole cell.There are different types of cells like muscle cells, nerve cells,White cells, blood cells,skin cells, Plant cells,and animal cells.

Damian palmer said...

1.animal cells have membranes but plant cells have cell walls instead

3.the nucleus controls what the cells does

2.cells are filled with cytoplasm

Mia W said...

I found out some new things that I didn't learn in 5th grade. Like the nucleus and the ribosomes and some important roles that all of the things in the cell do. I also learned some more names in the cells and that cells have many different functions. Also there are a lot of funny words that are names of things in the cells

Zoe D said...

I have learned about the nucleus directs the organelles to do what they're supposed to , and that chloroplast is only in plant cells, the cell membrane is the exterior of the cell, and that the ER are like conveyor belts in the cell. Cytoplasm is a gel-like substance and the golgi bodies package and move proteins.

The cell is a very very small part of the human body, which makes up the human body, the nucleus is found right in the middle of the cell. It's the boss of the rest of the cell, it keeps the rest of the cell in check. There are two types of cells Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells. Cytoskeleton is the base of the cell its what keeps the cell in its structure,only plant cells have the cytoskeleton. The mitochondria stores food and water, or energy. Each cell has cytoplasm, so that each part in the cell has enough room to move around. The other type of cell is the animal cell. Rough ER has ribsomes in it and smooth ER doesn't. Plant cells have chloroplast animal cells do not. Plant cells have a cell wall and the animal cells do not. Cells are made up of organells.
