Cell Organelle Computer Tutorials!
Do a google search for: Sheppard’s Software Cell Games
1. Click on the animal cell and plant cell to fill in the chart below.
2. Complete the chart with a brief, but accurate, explanation of what each organelle is responsible for! USE YOUR OWN WORDS!
Cell Organelle
Function of organelle (what does it do!)
plasma membrane
ribosomes
mitochondria
nucleus
golgi apparatus
cytoplasm
lysosomes and peroxisomes
endoplasmic reticulum
cell wall
chloroplast
large central vacuole
3. Go to “plant vs. animal cell” (found on plant cell page). List two ways that plant and animal cells are alike and two ways that they are
different.
How plant and animal cells are alike!
How plant and animals cells are different

4. Go to the section “play the game” for both the animal cell and plant cell. This game asks you to identify the cell parts (organelles) by how
they look. You will be quizzed on identifying cell parts in the near future, SO PAY ATTENTION TO HOW EACH ORGANELLE LOOKS!
Draw a picture of the cell on the back of this paper, labeling each part that the game asks you to identify.
NOW COMPLETE THE CELL QUIZ IN THE ANIMAL CELL SECTION! TAKE THE QUIZ UNTIL YOU GET 100% ON IT.
5. Go to the bacteria cell. List three characteristics of bacteria cells.
a)
b)
c)
6. Do a google search for: “Mixed Up Cells”. Work through the entire tutorial.
7. Do a google search for: “Cells Alive”. Click on the “Cell Models” link on the left hand side. Click on the red highlighted “Take me to the
Animation” link. Click on the green “Animal Cell” link. Fill in the following chart.
Cell Organelle
plasma membrane
ribosomes
mitochondria
nucleus
golgi apparatus
cytoplasm
lysosomes and peroxisomes
endoplasmic reticulum
Function of organelle (what does it do!) – In your own words (again)
