diagram and label parts of various cells (plant, animal, single-celled, multi-celled).

b. Identify parts of a plant cell (membrane, wall, cytoplasm, nucleus, chloroplasts) and of an animal cell (membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus) and determine the function of the parts.

RESEMBLES EACH ORGANELLE OF THE CELL

• CREATE A KEY FOR YOUR CELL TELLING WHICH CANDY REPRESENTS WHICH ORGANELLEo JUST LIKE A KEY FOR A MAP

GRADE• YOU WILL BE GRADED BASED

ON:o IF YOU COMPLETE YOUR CELL WITH

ALL 7 PARTS o IF YOU COMPLETE YOUR KEY WITH
