Text, Questions & Answers

Have you ever wondered what animals and plants are made of? Just like a building is made of many tiny blocks, every living being is made of millions of these tiny blocks called cells. Cells are so small that you need a microscope to see them. Imagine each cell like a tiny house, with different parts doing different jobs. Both animal and plant cells have a control room called a nucleus and a power plant called mitochondria. But plant cells also have a strong wall and a green part called chloroplasts for making food. Isn't it exciting to think that we're all made of these tiny wonder blocks?
