Cells are the basic units of living things. Animal and plant cells are eukaryotic: their genetic material is enclosed in a nucleus.
Choose a cell, then tap a structure to find it.
Simplified models, not microscope photographs. Colours are added; sizes are not to scale. Ribosomes are shown as tiny dots.
Most animal cells and typical plant cells have these five structures.
Practise recognising each structure in a simple line drawing. Use its shape, size and position in the cell. Ribosomes are tiny dots.
Nucleus: genetic material and control.
Membrane: controls movement in and out.
Cytoplasm: most chemical reactions.
Mitochondria: aerobic respiration.
Ribosomes: protein synthesis.
Plant extras: cell wall, chloroplasts and permanent vacuole.
Name the structure, then match its job.
