Welcome to The Cell Tour!

In this tour, you are asked a general question about each of the cell organelles. Linked to each question is a pop-up page with the answer. Print the general answer sheet and fill in the answers on it as you progress through the tour. For an additional challenge, print the cell function answer sheet as well.*

If you wish to label the parts of a plant cell and an animal cell, you can print out a plant cell image and an animal cell image.

At the end of the tour is an online self-quiz that allows you to test your knowledge of cell parts and their functions, as well as a page with some more in-depth questions for which you can seek out the answers.

Before you begin the tour, acquaint yourself with the various cell organelles by visiting the animal cell page, the plant cell page, and the prokaryote page. Each of these links will give you a new pop-up window.** When you are done exploring the cell, close the pop-up window and begin The Cell Tour from this page.
