Each of the 11 organelles will have their own page in your Cell Passport. For each cell organelle, include the writing in complete sentences... Organelle Name Picture of the Organelle Definition or Function of the Organelle Is the Organelle in Plant Cells, Animal Cells or Both? What City Part does this Organelle relate to? Task: Cells and Cell Theory Poem, Skit, Rap, or Song You and your partner will be constructing a poem, skit, rap, or song based on cell theory. Make sure to include all 3 parts of cell theory in your final project! Other things you could include are...
Prokayote: A unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and some other cell structures. Eukaryote: An organism whose cells contain a nucleus. Autotroph: An organism that is able to capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food. Heterotroph: An organism that cannot make its own food and gets food by consuming other living things. Classification Test on Monday, September 28th!!!No Homework from the textbook due on Monday, September 28th.
