Name ______________________________ Class ___________________ Date __________________ Skills Worksheet Critical Thinking Cellular Construction Mr. Dan Plumbob Patche & Splinte, Architects Dear Mr. Plumbob: We are pleased to inform you that we have chosen your firm to design our new Megalopolis factory. As you know, I have always been fascinated by the biology of cells. Therefore, I have decided to model our new factory after the cell of an animal. Your job is to design each part of the factory so that it represents a cellular structure. I have faith in your firm’s ability to complete this project. Sincerely, _____________________________________________________ (your signature here) SEEING RELATIONSHIPS 1. In the chart below, each part of a cell is compared to a part of a factory. In the right column of the chart, write in the function performed by each pair of components. The first one is done for you.
