How Do Cells Work Together? Lesson 2
How Do Cells Work Together? • Objectives: • You will know that living things are different, but share similar structures. • You will know that similar cells form different kinds of structures.
How Do Cells Work Together? • Questions: • What are possible reasons why one cell might have a size or shape different from that of another cell? • Do all cells have the same job?
How Do Cells Work Together? • Purpose: • We are going to read about different cell shapes and purposes as well as the special structures of some cells. • We will recognize how the shape of a cell is important to its job.
How Do Cells Work Together? • Quick Summary • Cells have specialized shapes and structures that help them perform specialized functions. • Nerve cells are long and branching. • Red blood cells are rounded discs. • Skin cells are flat. • Some cells have different kinds of hair-like structures that do different jobs.
