There are several examples of the eukaryotic cells. Algae, Fungi, Plants, and Animals are all composed of eukaryotic cells. Some algae and fungi are unicellular organisms; however other algae and fungi, and all plants and animals are multi-cellular organisms which are composed of specialized eukaryotic cells which interact in order to support the life of the multicellular organism.

Select either a plant or an animal cell. Select two structures or organelles of the cell (not used in part one above.) Explain these two structures or organelles – what do they look like, what are they composed of? Then describe how these plant or animal cell structures or organelles function. How do these functions support activities of the plant or animal cell and enable survival of the multi-cellular plant or animal organism?
