Part B: Build Your Own Cell Model

Using image editing software (Microsoft Paint, Photoshop, etc) create your own color diagram of the cell. Use the following guidelines. Turn in your model using a flash drive or email.

There are also several online image editors:
Pixlr ( http://www.pixlr.com/editor/ ) Sumopaint ( http://www.sumopaint.com/home/ )
Artpad ( http://artpad.art.com/artpad/painter/ ) | Fundraw ( http://www.fundraw.com/ )

• Identify whether your cell is a plant or an animal (no bacteria)
• All relevant cell organelles and parts must be represented and labeled
• You may NOT cut/paste other models you might find on the web, but you're welcome to use them for ideas.
