Cell Structures and Functions

In this microviewer worksheet, students observe several types of cells. Students draw each type of cell and label the important parts. Students also answer questions relatable to the cell and the purpose for study.

A short piece of informational text which describes and illustrates the structure and function the cell membrane.

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.

In this biology activity, learners read about the parts of both plant and animal cells and examine cell diagrams. They read about the function of cell parts before answering 11 online fill in the blank questions.

Form follows function, from simple bacteria to complex mammals. Demonstrate this essential standard, LS1A, using the tips in a short video about the Next Generation Science Standards. Topics include when to introduce cells and organelles...

Students identify cell parts and their function. In this animal cell lesson, students view a video clip and discuss cell components. Students create an edible replica of an animal cell using food items.

Students understand how various cell parts function and how they are related to the genetic process by creating a model and symbol to depict the function of the cell parts. They research a cell part to determine function and then cut...

A concise overview of the proteins that give cell membranes the ability to carry out various functions for cells.

Students identify parts of a cell. In this biology activity, students create a simulated cell by using Jell-o, fruit roll ups, raisins, gum drops, and M&M's. Students construct the simulated cell and identify each part.

Students examine the roles of an animal cell's parts, how each part relates to one another and then demonstrate their knowledge by writing a story about the animal cell structure.
