This lesson explains the difference between Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells. It is 3 of 4 in the series titled "Eukaryotic vs. Prokaryotic Cells."

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

This lesson focuses on cells including what they are, the parts of a cell, types of cells, organelles and their functions and more.

In this lesson plan site, each student is assigned a cell part to research, create, and place inside of a clear plastic drop cloth (the cell) the size of one-half of the classroom ceiling.

A slide-show presentation illustrating the differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.

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

Explore the difference between animal and plant cells.

This site lets students practice vocabulary words related to cell organelles. The same vocabulary words are presented in one of four different games for students.

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

This lesson explains the difference between Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells. It is 1 of 4 in the series titled "Eukaryotic vs. Prokaryotic Cells."

This activity offers an alternative to cell models to help the students to understand cells and their functions. Students are required to produce a travel brochure that describes a plant or animal cell as if it were a large exhibit or...

Why can't cells continue to grow larger and larger to become giant cells, like a blob? Why are most cells microscopic in size? Find out answers to these questions through this "hands-on" activity that simulates the changing relationship...

[Free Registration/Login Required] This Flipchart will go over the basic parts of a cell.

This site illustrates different parts of a plant and animal cell. The student may then drag and drop labels to the correct cell part.

Learn about gram staining and the characteristics of gram-negative bacteria. A discussion of cell wall structure is accompanied by a labeled illustration. Includes a list of examples of gram-negative bacteria organized by subgroup....

Explains cell structure and function and describes the parts of a cell.

Biofuels can provide energy without the reliance on environmentally harmful fossils fuels, but scientists are still searching for a plentiful source. Craig A. Kohn demonstrates how cellulose, the naturally abundant tough walls of plant...

This is a basic project on the effect of enzymes on apple slices. The goal of the project is to monitor enzyme activity by measuring the amount of apple juice released by pectinase.

Brief description of all the organelles.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Covers the common shapes and features of prokaryotic cells.

Understand the structure and function of fungi.

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...

Learn about the structure of a typical plant cell with this informative diagram. The diagram lists important parts such as the nucleus, cytoplasm, leukoplast, cell wall, chloroplast and ribosomes.

This site talks about severe storms. Topics include the dangers of thunderstorms, types of thunderstorms, components of thunderstorms, tornadoes, and modeling.
