Students use guided scientific observation using a collection of models, visual material, and microscope slides to identify cell organelles. Then they demonstrate their understanding of the parts/characteristics of cells by identifying...

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

Try considering the structures of the body in terms of fundamental levels of organization that increase in complexity: subatomic particles, atoms, molecules, organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms and biosphere....

Describes the composition of cytoplasm, its functions, the cell organelles suspended in it and what their functions are, and lots of other information about this vital cell component.

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

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

Students will explain that the human body has different organ systems with different roles. Also, they will discover and illustrate the organelles that each system contains. In addition, students will describe the function of each...

Resource takes a look at the structure and function of the organelles mitochondria and chloroplasts. It also examines endosymbiosis, where the organelles probably came from.

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

A very brief explanation of the structure and function of this organelle.

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.

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

This concise site provides a brief description of the Protist Kingdom. In addition, you will find an explanation of the role of various organelles found in the cell.

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...

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...
