An illustrated presentation introducing the structure and function of the cell, including the two different types of cells: prokaryotic and eukaryotic.

This article illustrates the properties of cell division in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Discusses the features of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells that are similar.

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

[Free Registration/Login Required] Using a Venn diagram, drag the blue tiles into each part to correctly sort the characteristics of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells.

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

This investigation allows young scholars to observe cells from multiple sources. Plant, animal and bacterial cells will be observed as well as cells from multicellular organisms and single-celled organisms. After providing written...

A tutorial on symbiotic relationships that explores the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells as well as the origins of eukaryotic organelles possibly being from endosymbiotic relationship. This tutorial also offers...

A very nice introduction to this group organized in a concise, easy to follow format.

STEM biology lesson where by designing their own antibiotics, students will gain an understanding of how the differences between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells have played a role in their own health. They will also be able to...

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...

This 11-page Biology course handout gives a detailed explanation of cell structure, supplemented by many illustrations.

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

Take an interactive quiz over the classification of living things. After completing the quiz, check your score, and then revisit any incorrect question for further review.

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

In this unit, students look at the components of cells and their functions and discover the controversy behind stem cell research. The first lesson focuses on the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. In the second lesson,...

Students look at the components of cells and their functions. The lesson focuses on the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Each part of the cell performs a specific function that is vital for the cell's survival....

A complete, interactive course where students analyze the nature of the relationships between structures and functions in living cells.

General information on the cyanobacteria, the blue-green algae and the features that make them different from prokaryotic bacteria. Also included are pages that point to more specific info, like life history and fossil records.

An interactive module where students take a closer look at cells and relate their structure to function. They also discover how cell organelles work in systems to maintain important biological processes and how cells communicate.
