Vacuole Function and Structure – Extra Space Storage
The vacuole is a membrane-bound organelle that is present in all plant cells. The main function is for storage, defense, and acting as a space…
Chloroplast Function and Structure – Solar Panels
The chloroplast main function is to convert energy from the Sun into glucose for growth, a process called photosynthesis. They are in plants and certain…
Nucleus Function
Nucleus is a double-membrane organelle, and it controls cell activities and carries genetic information to pass to the next generation.
Golgi Apparatus Function – the Post Office inside the Cells
Golgi apparatus is a membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. The function of Golgi apparatus is to process proteins and send proteins to different…
Cell Organelles and their Functions
An organelle is a tiny cellular structure that performs specific functions within a cell, such as a nucleus, mitochondria, ER, ribosomes, lysosomes and Golgi.
Cell Biology on the Dining Table – Plant Cell Model
Plant cells share many organelles in common with animal cells. There are three unique features in plant cells, cell wall, vacuole, and chloroplast.
What is Mitosis (Food model of mitosis)
Mitosis is a process of cell division, one cell divides and produces two new cells that are genetically identical.
The Function of the Autophagosome and Endosome
Autophagosomes break down the misfunctioned organelles and recycle the nutrient. Endosomes bring outside material into cells.
Cell Biology on the Dining Table – Animal Cell Model Part II
Use this guide to build a creative animal cell model using household items. You will be amazed how much cell biology you will learn.
Cell Biology on the Dining Table – Animal Cell Model Part I
We choose fruit and vegetable to create our own cell model project. For example, we choose avocado seed for representing the cell nucleus.
