Khan Academy: Cells: Organelles in Eukaryotic Cells

This series of handouts and images asks young scientists to read short informational paragraphs, answer identification questions, and color and label diagrams of animal and plant cells. This is a complete resource that could be given as...

A simple coloring activity reinforces learning of the cell membrane structure. In addition, junior biologists answer fill-in-the-blank and short-answer questions detailing the function of the cell membrane. This learning exercise is five...

Now, this is a clever approach to understanding cell organelles; seven pairs of organelles are listed, and pupils write an explanation of how each pair cooperates to perform certain cell functions. Organelles include the nucleus,...

Can your class solve the Mystery of the Crooked Cell? Junior geneticists collaborate to learn about sickle cell anemia in a fascinating lesson plan. The included materials help them to examine the genetic factors behind the disease...

Adult humans are made of around 40 trillion cells that can't be seen these without some really powerful microscopes! Learners tour both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, learning how their structures are similar and different, and...

Despite their microscopic size, eukaryotic cells are probably one of the most complex systems ever! Explore the structure and function of the major organelles of eukaryotic cells — the nucleus, ER, ribosomes, golgi complex, lysosomes,...

Students clarify common misconceptions about cells. They assess initial knowledge of cells and cell behavior, read and discuss an article and consider the role of cell communication in the diseases of diabetes, multiple sclerosis and...

Learn how cells use checkpoints to regulate the cell cycle. This article provides an overview of cell cycle control, outlining the factors that influence a cell's decision to pause or progress at each checkpoint.

A video explaining embryonic and somatic stem cells by overviewing early development of an embryo. Also discussed is the reasons why embryonic stem cell research can be controversially. [19:54]

This article looks at a few of the most important core cell cycle regulators: proteins called cyclins, enzymes called Cdks, and an enzyme complex called the APC/C.
