Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Parts of the Cell - Plants vs. Animals. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

The nucleus of a cell contains DNA and functions as the command center of a cell.

The mitochondria of a cell generate the energy that a cell needs to perform its functions.

A vacuole in a cell is a storage area for nutrients and waste.

Plant cells have a cell wall that surrounds the perimeter of the cell, while animal cells do not.

The ribosomes in a cell make proteins that are needed to carry out life functions.

Eukaryotic cells have a defined nucleus.

Plant cells have larger vacuoles than animal cells to support a plant's structure.

The cell membrane is a semi-permeable membrane found around the perimeter of all cells. In plant cells it is located beneath the cell wall.

Cytoplasm is a fluid that fills all cells and supports the organelles in a cell.

Plants and animals are examples of eukaryotes.

The cell wall in plants provides structure and protection for the plant.

Eukaryotic cells have defined organelles.

The lysosomes in a cell contain digestive enzymes that aid in digestion and removal of wastes.

Plant cells have chloroplasts that aid in photosynthesis.

The functions of the cell membrane are to take in nutrients, expel waste, and provide protection for the cell.
