Building Blocks of Animals & Plants: The Cell Cycle (Hardcover)

If even the tiniest cells are alive, does that mean they have life cycles? Yes! This colorful graphic novel explains how the cell life cycle works and why they’re so important to animals and plants. Readers will learn about the parts of the cell and their functions, along with the key differences between animal and plant cells. Along the way they'll be introduced to cell life cycles, cell division, and disease. Detailed graphics help readers visualize and understand how these microscopic building blocks support life. Readers will meet Robert Hooke, the scientist who published the first drawings of cells. Extend the learning with the Naked Egg activity found in the back of this text.
