Tour of the Cell 1
Each of these slides deals with an individual organelle and displays a diagram along with labels of the structures. The most useful components of this slideshow are the summaries of functions and descriptions of how the organelles are...
Curated OER
The Cell as a System
Students review cell structures and investigate how the components of a cell operate as a system. They compare a plant and animal cell and then make a model of a cell. Students begin to understand the cell as a system by exploring a...
