College-level course highlighting the biology of cells of higher organisms. Course topics include cellular membranes and organelles; cell growth and oncogenic transformation; transport, receptors, and cell signaling; the cytoskeleton,...

Investigate plant and animal cells by clicking on the different organelles to learn how their structure affects the function of the cell.

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

[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...

In this lesson, 5th graders will examine cell diagrams, then use their body, voice, and movement to become a particular part of a cell. Next, they work in pairs to create a dialogue between the different parts of the cell, exploring cell...

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

This lesson will introduce the cell's structure and function.

In this lesson, 5th graders will personify the parts of the cell physically and vocally.

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

This activity will challenge students to create dances to represent the different parts of a cell.

Why does a plant stand up on its own? Find out with this brief tutorial about the vacuoles in cells.

This lesson will illustrate the structure and function of the cell. It is 1 of 4 in the series titled "Cells: The Structural and Functional Units of Life."

Discusses the discovery of the cell nucleus, its location, size, structure, composition, and functions.

Learners will research prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The students will then research plant and animal cells, comparing and contrasting the two. Learners will also research the major organelles and the function of each. Students will...

An online video game where players take control of a tiny virtual submarine that explores plant and animal cells from the inside! Players learn about organelles, respiration, and photosynthesis.

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.

Game on the structures and functions of animal cells.

Find five instructional units on cells: levels of organization, interacting with the outside world, creating energy for the cell, coding and translating instructions, and making protein "machinery" to do things. Each unit is broken down...

Take this interactive, multiple-choice quiz over cells and cell structure, then review your score and any missed questions at the end.

Take this ten-question review quiz over the functions of a cell. Read more about each question after an incorrect answer is given.

Take this 13 question quiz to test your knowledge of the parts of a plant cell. Know vocabulary such as nucleus, chloroplast, and ribosome.

Students will learn about both POP Art and science in this pattern project. Working in conjunction with a science teacher in your school, students will view cells through a microscope and use visual diaries to create pattern templates....

Provides a labeled diagram of a plant cell and descriptions of the characteristics and functions of many of its organelles.

Gather information about prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and also the main parts and organelles of a cell.
