Life and Ecosystems
What is Inside of a Cell?
The Cell RapYou can find me in the lab
with a pen and a pad
I'm the mad scientist
but I ain't mad
Checkin' out my scope
Lookin' at some cells
tryin' to teach these kids
about the organelles
The Cell Rapand the kids say
“Teacher, what is a cell?"
they think it's a phone
or a room at the jail
so I tell ‘em bout the nucleus
it's acting like a brain
protected by a nuclear membrane,
The Cell Rapand the ribosomes
are so small to be seen
they make sure everybody in the cell gettin' protein
From the cell membrane
to the cell wall (cell wall)
it's cytoplasm y'all
(it's cytoplasm y'all)
The Cell Rap
Now things in the cytoplasm are mello
it's water, it's gel, it's jelly, it's jello
and there's vacuoles all over the place
storing up the water, food, and waste
The Cell Rapand the kid's say
“Teacher, your rhyme is tight"
you mean the one about the building blocks of life
I never thought I could be a star
just by rapping about the E.R.
The Cell Rap
and this rhyme's so hot
that it's a powerhouse
so call me mitochondria
and yo, I'm out
Remember:A cell is the smallest unit of any living
thing. The structures found inside cells each have a specialized job.
Cells and Living Things• Every living thing is made up of one or more
cells.• Cells are the basic building blocks that make up
all living things.• Cells have the same needs as any living thing.• Cells use the nutrients and energy in food to
grow.• Some organisms are just one cell.• Many are made of more than one.

Cell Parts
• Cells have many parts that allow the cell to grow, get energy, divide, and do its job.
Draw this chart in your notebook.
Cell Membrane• The cell membrane is the soft, flexible
covering that surrounds the cell and holds the parts of the cell together.
• It allows materials—water, sugar, oxygen—to enter. Also allows materials—carbon dioxide and waste—to exit.• The cell membrane protects the cell!
Nucleus• The nucleus is the part of the cell that controls
how the cell grows, changes, and does its job in the body.
• The nucleus is the CONTROL CENTER.• How could the nucleus of a cell be like our
brain?
Cytoplasm
• The cytoplasm is the gel-like material between the cell membrane and the nucleus.
• Many cell parts are located in the cytoplasm.
Vacuoles• Vacuoles are cell parts that are used to store
materials such as food and water.• They can sometimes act like a stomach, storing and
breaking down material.• They can also store wastes until the cell can get rid of
it.• They are found in the cytoplasm.
Mitochondria
• The mitochondria is the cell part where energy is made.
• Remember: Mighty Mouse, Power House.
Let’s Label
• Time to practice—Let’s see if you can label these parts of a cell.
