Learn about the complex structures inside cells and what their functions are.

Get to know cell organelles and their functions while studying this resource. Challenge knowledge with supplied reviews.

This web resource provides basic information about structure and function of plant organelles through a large interactive cell drawing, as well as many opportunities to explore further. Links lead the learner to several short movies of...

Presents labeled illustrations of a plant cell and an animal cell which demonstrate the parts that are common and different. Next is a table listing cell organelles and stating whether each is present or absent in a plant or animal cell....

Make learning about cells fun and easy with a collection of short video clips about cellular biology. Find out about the structure and function of the main organelles inside an animal cell.

This module focuses on cell structure and how the organelles function together to form the smallest unit of life. The cell theory is also discussed along with the basics features of the cell. Site also includes an interactive practice...

Use this resource to discover the basic structure of a eukaryotic cell and some of the organelles it contains.

The parts of a eukaryotic cell are presented with short descriptions of the structure and function of each of its organelles.

Describes plant cells and the structure and function of their different parts.

Explains how plant and animal cells are different and describes the organelles in a plant cell.

The structure and functions of chloroplasts are described in detail here.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Even though plants and animals are both eukaryotes, plant cells differ in some ways from animal cells. Plant cells have a large central vacuole, are surrounded by a...

Lysosomes are found in both plant and animal cells. The structure and functions of this cell organelle are described here, with note made of the diseases that can be caused by defective lysosomes.

Describes the three types of plant cells and their differences, and the structures within a plant cell and their functions.

Explains how an animal cell differs from a plant cell and describes the many parts of an animal cell and their functions.

Presents labeled illustrations of a plant cell and an animal cell which demonstrate the parts that are common and different. This is followed by a discussion of their similarities and then of their differences.

Describes the characteristics of vesicles and the functions they perform in a cell based on which type they are.

The endoplasmic reticulum is found in eukaryotic cells. The characteristics and functions of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum are described and it is then compared with the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

The parts of a cell nucleus are described along with a list of the functions of a cell nucleus.

The structure and function of a vacuole inside a plant cell are described.

Explains what lysosomes are, the different functions they perform in a cell, and what can happen when they become dysfunctional.

The structure and functions of the Golgi apparatus are described. Includes a list of interesting facts.

There are three types of protein fibers in the cytoskeleton: microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. This resource examines each type of filament, as well as some specialized structures: flagella, cilia, and centrosomes.
