20. 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).
