Introduction
Cells are the basic unit of life. An animal cell includes many different organelles. Cells and their components cannot be seen with the naked eye. You must use a microscope.
Task
For this webquest, you will research animal cells and their organelles.
Process
1. Work with your lab groups.
2. Draw each organelle on a notecard. Write the name of the organelle on the other side.
3. Record the function of each organelle on the picture side of the notecard.
4. In a venn diagram, record differences between plant and animal cells.
