Cell Structure and Function
The following links are related to the topics:
A. Compartments of the cell (cell organelles): Plants versus Animals
B. Cell Sizes
C. Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
D. Types of cells in the human body
Standard 1c: Students know how prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells
(including those from plants and animals), and viruses differ in complexity
and general structure.
Standard 1e: Students know the role of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi
apparatus in the secretion of proteins.

An amazing animated video of the life and functions of a white
blood cell.
Even if you don't know what ever is going on, you cannot miss the
beauty and
complexity of the "protein dance" that is invovled in
traffic inside the
cell and outward.
