In this biology lab, students investigate structures and functions of local plants. Students will include a detailed drawing of their particular plant with labels and include functions of each of the plant structures.

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

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.

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

The Casparian strip is found in the endodermis layer of a plant's roots and it assists the plant in absorbing water and nutrients from the soil. The structure of a plant root is described and the process by which the Casparian strip...

A lab exercise where students are challenged to build a three-dimensional structure of a plant. Students can review the basic anatomy and tissues in the plant with information found on the page. Students can also interpret ancient plant...

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

This web resource provides basic information about structure and function of plant organelles through a large interactive cell drawing, as well as many opportunities to explore further. Links lead the learner to several short movies of...

This lesson focuses on plant cell structures including the parts of cell structures and their functions, cell structures that are in both plants and animals, and the cell structures found only in plants and their functions. Links to a...

This resource provides a detailed diagram of animal, bacterial and plant cells and viral structure. Also included are detailed drawings, with definitions, of each of the cellular organelles.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Exercise provides an overview of special structures found in plant cells. It explains the function of the cell wall, explores the role of the central vacuole, and...

Discusses major aspects of leaf structure and function. Contains examples of modifications of leaf structure and function.

This is a thorough site which contains a glossary of plant/animal cell anatomy terms. Diagrams of both cells are included along with worksheets to label.

An interactive plant cell that presents labels and definitions of the different cell parts when selected.

From The American Phytopathological Society, this is a detailed discussion of the genomic sequencing of a type of nematode which is a plant parasite, including how knowledge of the genome structure might make it possible to create crop...

[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...

This StudyCards stack enables students to review information about the organelles of eukaryotic plant cell. They are tested on their ability to describe the structure, location, and function of different cell organelles.

Follow this link to a clearly labeled diagram of a plant cell. Includes written descriptions of all the parts of the cell.

A slideshow accompanied by music and text, a karaoke song to sing along to, and a 7-question multiple-choice quiz on the topic of plant cells.

This investigation allows students 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 descriptions...
