Introduction
Cells make up all living things. So what are cells and what do they do? What are they composed of and how and why do they function? Today you will be learning about organelles (parts of the cell) and what all living things (including YOU) are made up of. Lets get started!
Task
Use the web to research and make a list of the organelles (parts of the cell) and describe the structure and function of each part. Create a table, making each part easy to identify.
Process
Step 1: Visit this website to read about each organelle.
Step 2: Create a table with 3 columns; The part, structure, and function and fill in each space using your own words.
Here is a table generator to help you get started!
