Cell Structure and Function Project
Cell Structure 20 points: Basically two cell drawings; one of an animal cell
and one of a plant cell. The drawing will be done on 12” by 18” paper;
provided by me. The drawing will have a 2 inch heading that reads “Cell
Structure” with a 1” subheading that reads Animal Cell or Plant Cell. With
the paper folded in half, this leaves approximately a 9x9 inch area for
labeling and drawing the plant and animal cell; one per side. The drawings
will be neatly drawn and colored with a colorful background; borders must be
fine lined with black. As for labeling the drawing, it must look neat with
the use of a ruler for straight lines to each of the organelles. All
organelles must be spelled correctly. A 2 point deduction will occur for each
of the above instructions that are not followed.
Cell Function 30 points: In this half of the project, you must design a
factory, another type of workplace or some type of machine that has similar
functions to the individual cell organelles within a cell. Your design must
have a minimum of 8 functions that parallel the functions of the plant or
animal cell. The student must use the organelle functions of an animal cell
or plant cell but may not use both. Also a 2” header that reads “Cell
Function” must be written at the top with a 1” subheading for the name of
your factory.
An “A” project will require a minimum of 8 functions that are similar to that
of a cell organelle (no cytoplasm). Those functions must make sense and match
well with the function of the organelle. The factory must be well labeled and
correspond accordingly with a key that is numbered 1-8 with the correct
spelling of the organelles. Connections between the factory and the cell must
be creative yet must make sense. Also the factory must be fine lined black,
straight lines where needed and the drawings must be colored.
Deductions will be made for spelling errors, a poorly written key,
functions that are a stretch of the imagination or just don’t make sense,
lack of neatness, lack of color or not achieving the minimum amount of 8
functions.
Due Date: Sept. 28th
I will be available for help during
7th period study hall.
Class time will be given. Use time wisely!
