Basics Of Cell Parts And Functions
Settings
Cells are the smallest units of life and have specially modified structures that help it to achieve its functions. Each cell contains smaller organelles that perform various functions such as metabolism, transportation, and secretion of substances. Do you think you can correctly identify the descriptions and functions of plant and animal cell parts? Let's check you now by taking this quiz!
