Abstract

Many students leave the biology classroom with misconceptions centered on cellular structure. This article presents an activity in which students utilize images from an online database called “The Cell: An Image Library” ( http://www.cellimagelibrary.org/) to gain a greater understanding of the diversity of cellular structure and the correlation of a cells structure to its function. Additionally, students develop an awareness of the structural variation of organelles across organisms.
