Cell Coloring Instructions: Use the following color coding according to the functions of the cell organelles. Full credit (50 points!) includes: 1) Correct coloring, 2) List what each color represents, 3) List of the organelles and their functions. RED - Energy (Animal: Mitochondria; Plants: Mitochondria and Chloroplasts) YELLOW - Protein Preparation (Animal/Plant: Golgi, Rough-ER, Smooth-ER, Ribosomes, Nucleolous, Nuclear Membrane). BLUE - Genetic Information (Animal/Plant: Nucleus, Chromatin) GREEN - Waste (Animal: Change the Vacuole's name into Lysozome; Plant: Vacuole). BROWN - Physical Support (Animal: Draw Cytoskeleton elements, such as rods and branches; Plants: Cell Wall). Cytoplasm, Cell Membrane - are involved in nearly ALL of these processes. Leave uncolored (or add a very light background color).
