Cells Alive! Label the Plant Cell Diagram

Interact with a plant cell to test your knowledge of the organelles.

To begin this interaction click the link below and wait for the game window to open up
Once open, click on the Plant Cell link in green letters
The interactive cell will appear on the screen, click/touch the organelles listed below the cell to learn what each organelle of the cell looks like as well as what each organelles functions is
Make a mental note of the difference in the Plant and Animal Cell diagrams: What organelles are found in a Plant Cell that aren’t located in an Animal Cell? Why are these particle organelles only located in the Plant Cell?
Go through each organelle to gain a better understanding on the Plant Cell and how it functions once all have been completed exit window and return to StepStone
