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.

In this third unit of a Biology course, students learn about cells and cell structure. They compare prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and learn about the specialized structures in a cell and what their functions are. They will also learn...

An illustrated overview of the structure and function of the cell and its structures.

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

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

This resource describes the structure and functions of the cell membrane.

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

Describes the cytosol, organelles, and cytoplasmic inclusions found in the cytoplasm of a cell, and the functions of the cytoplasm itself.

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...

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

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

Describes the steps in how to make a model of a plant cell using simple materials and sweet foods like jello and candy.

A cell lysis solution is used to disrupt cellular membranes. This resource provides a detailed explanation of how to make a cell lysis solution and describes the different ingredients, their functions, and the choices available, all...

Study the plant cell chloroplasts in the science of biology including their function, structure, and how they help make energy through the process of photosynthesis on this site.

Describes the functions of a cell and the many parts involved in those functions.

Explains what progenitor and stem cells are and presents a chart showing their major differences, as well as a list of their scientific applications.

Explains what chromosomes are, their structure, their functions within a cell, and the health impact of mutations in a gene sequence.

The characteristics of the rough endoplasmic reticulum are described and its role in protein synthesis, including creating proteins, folding them, transporting them, and checking them for quality.

NADH and NADPH are enzymes involved in cellular processes. Explains how NADH participates in catabolic reactions where energy is released and NADPH is involved in anabolic reactions where energy is consumed. Their functions and chemical...

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.

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.

The endoplasmic reticulum is compared to a manufacturing plant with an assembly line to help students understand the functions of this important cell organelle.
