Find out what animal cells are made of and what each structure does in this free KS3 Biology worksheet — no preparation needed, just download and use. Perfect as a lesson starter, homework task, or quick revision activity for students aged 11-14.

The worksheet contains three questions: a multiple choice question identifying the correct function of a named cell structure; a fill-in-the-blank activity using a word box covering the four main cell structures and the process of respiration; and a short answer question asking students to explain what 3D means in the context of cells and describe what a scientific model is. A full answer key is included.

Want more? The full 100-mark premium worksheet goes deeper into the functions of each cell structure in detail, specialised animal cells including red blood cells, sperm cells, nerve cells, muscle cells and ciliated cells, and the evaluation and improvement of scientific models of animal cells. A complete lesson bundle combining the full worksheet and extension activities is also available on the iNewittAll TES store.
