Cell+Organelle+Trading+Card+Assignment+Sheet

Your assignment is to make a “trading card” for each cell organelle (make one for each cell organelle on your Cell Table handout). The trading card will feature a picture of the organelle on one side and information about it on the other. Then, you will compare the organelle to a part of the larger world (i.e. a school is part of a school system, a school system is part of the state school system, the state school system is part of the federal school).

Here’s where you use your Cell Organelle Research Worksheet. The side opposite of the picture should include: a. The name of your organelle. b. Where it is found. c. What it does. d. Something that performs the same function


 * PLEASE NOTE: The information that you use for the text part of your trading cards MUST BE IN YOUR OWN WORDS! DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT cut and paste text. If the text is NOT in your own words, you will get a zero for this assignment. Plagiarism (copying other people’s work and claiming it as your own) is NEVER ACCEPTABLE!!!**
