4. Zoom in on:
 4 points - Bacteria cell – cell membrane, cytoplasm, DNA, ribosomes (1 pt. each)
 10 points - Plant cell – cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, ribosomes, chloroplast, mitochondria,
ER, Golgi body, central vacuole (1 pt. each)
 7 points - Animal cell – cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, ribosomes, mitochrondria, ER, Golgi body
 11 points - Must include a description of the function for each cell structure: cell wall, cell membrane,
cytoplasm, DNA, ribosomes, nucleus, chloroplast, mitochondria, ER, Golgi, central vacuole (1 pt. each)
_____ Total for Part 4 – 32 Points, may earn extra points for additional, correct cell structures and definitions
5. Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
 3 points - Prokaryote only – no nucleus, no membrane-bound organelles, smaller
 3 points - Eukaryote only – nucleus, membrane-bound organelles, larger
 3 points - Both – ribosomes, DNA, cell membrane
_____ Total for Part 5 – 9 Points, may earn extra points for additional, correct characteristics
6. Compare and contrast plant and animal cells
 3 points - Plant only – chloroplast, central vacuole, cell wall
 1 point - Animal only – no cell wall
 4 points - Both – mitochondria, cell membrane, DNA, eukaryotic or nucleus
_____ Total for Part 6 – 8 Points, may earn extra points for additional, correct characteristics
7. Flow map: cells make tissues; tissues make organs; organs make organ systems; organ systems make an organism
(2 pts each)
_____ Total for Part 7 – 8 Points Max
8. Creativity and neatness – circle: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 = not neat or creative; difficult to read; the person did not make an effort
5 = average; pretty easy to read and look at; maybe a little unorganized; met the requirements
10 = creatively displayed; neat; nice to look at; organized; this should be displayed as an excellent example
_____ Total for Part 8 – 10 Points Max
