amusement park, mall or anything you can imagine. Fill in the name of your model.
2. Fill in the function for each cell part in Table 2.
3. Fill in the part of the model that is represented in Table 2.

5. Include a map of your plant cell model on page 3. Label each part of your model A - H in the picture.
6. Create a map legend or key in the corner of your map which lists letters A – H and label the name of each part of your
model.
Directions - Part C: Application Questions: Annotate and answer questions 1 – 20.

In a faraway city called Cell City, the main export and production product is the steel widget. Everyone in the town has
something to do with steel widget making and the entire town is designed to build and export widgets. The town hall regulates
the entire city and has the instructions for widget making. Widgets come in all shapes and sizes and any citizen can get the
instructions and begin making their own widgets. Widgets are generally produced in small shops around the city.
After the widget is constructed, they are placed on special carts which can transport the widget anywhere in the city. The
town powers the widget shops and carts from a hydraulic dam that is in the city. The entire city is enclosed by a large
wooden fence, only postal trucks (and citizens with proper passports) are allowed outside the city. People that are not
citizens or without passports are required to fill out a tremendous amount of paperwork to be allowed to enter the city.
Small imports are allowed to enter Cell City but large imports do not have permission to enter cell city. Small exports
can easily leave the city but large exports have more difficulty leaving the city and as a result, assistance is needed.
