Drawing A Scale Model Of A Cell (Page 2 of 2) in pdf

Model Procedure

a. On a separate sheet of paper, measure the diameter of the cell (17centimeters) and draw a cell-

like rectangular shape on your paper. This will be the outline of your plant cell.

b. Using your calculations, make a nucleus to scale using the colored pencils.

c. Following the procedure for the nucleus, draw the rest of the organelles each in a different color.

Be sure to use the plant cell diagram in your textbook as a guide in drawing your organelles.

d. Once your drawing is complete, make a table and neatly print or type a key for the organelles.

e. Include a small colored drawing of the organelle in the key (this does not need to be to scale).

Include the organelle’s function in the key.

g. Staple your drawing to this sheet.

Applying your knowledge

18. What is the largest organelle in a typical plant cell? __

19. If you were drawing an animal cell, which you include these same organelles in your drawing? If

not, what organelles would you not include?

20. This method does not apply only to cells. List two other examples where scale models are used.
