| Plant Cells |
Pictured here is a typical plant cell. All
plant cells are composed of definite
structures called organelles. Each
organelle has a particular job to do for
the cell. They are either enclosed in
or made up of membranes. Organelles
and the cell membrane are continually
changing, breaking down, and
reforming in a dynamic pattern of
activity.

about each organelle.

| For revision, you will now go to the "Check Your Knowledge" site to complete the labelling exercise on the PLANT cell. Once you have correctly labelled all ten organelles, print the results page to hand in to your teacher. |
