Cells Alive! Click on the interactive plant or animal cell to learn about the function of various organelles. Virtual Cell Get a close-up view of several organelles in 3-D! You will be able to choose certain organelles within the cell and manipulate them by zooming in on the organelle, rotating the image, and dissecting several organelles to view their contents. The intent of the activity is to provide you with a better feeling of the appearance (structure), function, and location of the organelles. Virtual Animal or Plant Cell Clicking on a term generates a pin. If the student correctly pins the term to the location of the structure in the image the pin will stick.
