Cell Diversity Wordle

Wordle: Untitled
There are smaller pieces to cells that include proteins and organelles. There are also larger pieces called tissues and systems. Cells are small compartments that hold all of the biological equipment necessary to keep an organism alive and successful on Earth. There are millions of different types of cells. There are cells that are organisms onto themselves, such as microscopic amoeba and bacteria cells. And there are cells that only function when part of a larger organism. The cell is the smallest unit of life in our bodies. In the body, there are brain cells, skin cells, liver cells, stomach cells, ect. All of these cells have unique functions and features. One major difference in cells occurs between plant cells and animal cells. Many animals have skeletons to give their body structure and support. Plants do not have a skeleton for support and yet plants don't just flop over in a big spongy mess. The cell wall is a rigid structure outside of the cell membrane. The chloroplast allow plants to harvest energy from sunlight. Specialized pigments in the chloroplast absorb sunlight and use this energy to complete the chemical reaction.
