Cell-ebration
(How Cells Work)


    This site has been created to show students how cells work.  It reviews the functions of the cell organelles. This web site focuses on the structure and function of the cell membrane.  Students will learn how the organelles interact with each other to keep the cell alive.  This web site adds to the knowledge of most middle school students about organelles and expands to how the cell works as a whole.  Scientists who study this area are known as cell physiologists.  Physiology is the study of the function of living things.
