Virtual Tour of the Cell

The "Virtual Cell" will allow you to get a close-up view of several organelles in 3-D! You will be able to choose certain organelles within the cell and manipulate them by zooming in on the organelle, rotating the image, and dissecting several organelles to view their contents. The intent of the activity is to provide you with a better feeling of the appearance (structure), function, and location of the organelles.

You should explore the following organelles within "The Virtual Cell": Please check them off as you go.

1. Mitochondria
2. Centrioles
3. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
4. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
5. Lysosomes
