Cell Biology Mix book Project
You and a partner are going to create a mix book about cells! Here are the basic requirements:
You must define the function of the following cell organelles and have a picture for each:
Nucleus, vacuoles, lysosomes, cytoskeleton, centrioles, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum,
golgi apparatus, chloroplasts, mitochondria, cell wall, cell membrane
You must also determine if they are found in prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells (or both). **If Found
in eukaryotic cells, are they found in plant cells, animal cells, or both.
Do not directly copy the definitions from the book! Put them in words that make sense to you. If
you use websites, be sure to include them in a bibliography.
Be creative and have fun!
