Kids learn about cell ribosome in the science of biology. This organelle acts like a tiny factory making all sorts of different proteins for the cell using RNA and amino acids.

Study the mitochondria in the science of biology on this site. Find out how these tiny organelles inside cells produce energy for the rest of the cell through respiration.

Students determine which cell organelles have a similar function to different places in a city.

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

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

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 parts of an animal cell are presented with short descriptions of each of its organelles.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Covers the structure and role of the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, vesicle, vacuole, and centriole.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] All cells are one of two types, prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Students will learn the structural differences between the two cells, be able to give examples, and...

A chart which identifies each part of a cell, the location, the description, and the function.

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

In this interactive tutorial you will discover that the cytoskeleton is both a muscle and a skeleton, and is responsible for cell movement, cytokinesis, and the organization of the organelles within the cell.

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

Explains how chloroplasts evolved into their present form, how photosynthesis takes place in them, where they are found in plants, physical characteristics, and other functions they perform.

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.

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.

This resource is a cellular biology course site with clickable list that provides electron micrographs of various cell organelles and the like.

Students can learn about the location and the function of the major organelles in plant and animal cells. Resource includes descriptions of the functions of cell parts as well as a diagram of the two cell types.
