How to Create a Chart of Cell Parts
- 1). Create a new document in a graphics presentation or word processing program. Center the title, "Chart of Cell Parts" at the top.
- 2). Add three columns across the top of the chart. Title these columns: "Organelle," "Plant/Animal or Both" and "Job/Function."
- 3). Insert at least ten rows for the standard organelles, or cells parts. These are: "Cell Wall," "Chloroplast," "Nucleus," "Ribosomes," "Mitochondria," "Cell Membrane," "Cytoplasm," "Vacuole," "Golgi Body" and "Lysosomes."
- 4). Go to the second column at each row. Identify whether each organelle is a plant, animal or both. Some require further explanation. For example, write "all cells" for "Ribosomes" and "All Eukaryotes" for "Nucleus."
- 5). Jump to the third column at each row. Divide each section within this row into two parts. In the first part, discuss the characteristics of each organelle. For example, does the organelle work to maintain the cell's shape.
- 6). Devote the second part of the these sections to further commentary about the cells parts. For example, explain how many of the cells parts exist within the cell organelles.
- 7). Finish the chart with a text box at the bottom. Ask students to sketch what each organelle looks like.
