Giant Microbes - Animal Cell

Unique, adorable and educational, this colorful representation of the animal cell highlights these 11 organelles within the cytoplasma: cell membrane, nucleus, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, ribosome, mitochondria, centrosome, microtubule, peroxisome and lysosome.

Animal cells are remarkable, tiny building blocks. Consider a 1 mm grain of sand. You could fit over 200 red blood cells in that grain! There are hundreds of specialized types of animal cells from neurons to bone cells. Within all of these cells are organelles – circular, squiggly, irregular and rod-shaped structures. Animal cells have many features in common with plant cells, such as a nucleus, cytoplasm, reticula, ribosomes and mitochondria. Think about this, cells and their organelles allow animals to grow, eat, reproduce and even think!

A fun, hands-on-way to learn all about cell biology, animals and the wonders of the natural world. Makes an engaging gift for scientists, students, teachers, animal lovers and anyone with a healthy sense of humor. Features high quality materials and includes a beautifully illustrated diagram and educational information card.
