This activity allows you to explore the key features of a human cell. The aim of the activity is to match up different features of the cell to its function.
Learn about the key structures and organelles within the human cell, from the nucleus and DNA to the Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum.
Cells are the building blocks of all living organisms. They provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food and carry out various specialised functions. Our cells contain structures called organelles. These are the factories that carry out all the processes needed for the cell to survive and function. The organelles make proteins, process chemicals and generate energy.
