Description
Book Synopsis: In the leveled reader Plant Cells vs Animal Cells, fundamental science concepts in biology are explained through simply written text and colorful, fun illustrations. Young readers will discover that plants and animals have different types of cells. Cells are made of atoms and molecules and do different jobs inside living things. Both plant cells and animal cells are surrounded by a cell membrane and have organelles, which are structures inside cells that do different jobs. The nucleus of a cell is the organelle where DNA is made and held. DNA is a strand of linked atoms that tell the cell what to do. A ribosome is an organelle that makes proteins, which are long chains of atoms. Proteins do all the work inside a cell, cutting, joining, and moving molecules. A mitochondrion is an organelle that makes energy for the cell. Plant and animal cells are also different. Plant cells have a stiff outer cell wall in addition to a cell membrane. Animals cells have only a cell membrane. Plant cells have chloroplasts, which are organelles that catch sunlight to make food. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts and do not make food from sunlight. Animals get their food from eating other animals and plants. A pronunciation guide of scientific terms is included. 24 pages filled with engaging, colorful illustrations. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5.
Details
Discover the fascinating world of biology with the leveled reader Plant Cells vs Animal Cells! Packed with vibrant illustrations and simple text, this book explains fundamental science concepts in an exciting and engaging way. Young readers will learn that plants and animals have different types of cells and explore the amazing structures inside these cells.
From the cell membrane to the organelles, such as the nucleus and mitochondrion, this book covers it all! Find out how the nucleus holds DNA, which is like a blueprint, telling the cell what to do. Learn about the ribosomes, the tiny factories that make proteins, the essential molecules responsible for all the work inside a cell.
But the differences between plant and animal cells don't end there! Plant cells have a unique outer cell wall that provides rigidity, in addition to the cell membrane. They also have chloroplasts, special organelles that capture sunlight to produce food. In contrast, animal cells rely on other animals and plants for their food since they lack chloroplasts.
Get your young learners started on their biology journey with Plant Cells vs Animal Cells! By understanding the basic building blocks of life at a cellular level, they will develop a greater appreciation for the fascinating world of biology. With a pronunciation guide for scientific terms and 24 colorful pages filled with captivating illustrations, this book is perfect for children at Reading Level 1-3 and Interest Level 2-5.
Take the first step towards unlocking the mysteries of life with Plant Cells vs Animal Cells!
