Cells are highly organized structures with parts that perform specific functions. Starting from the cell membrane with its incomparable abilities not only to provide shape and flexibility to the cell but also to determine the nature of its interaction with its environment. For you to recognize these functions, make an illustration (with a title) that shows a place which resembles a cell membrane. Also, write the things that you think they are similar. Your product will be assessed based on the following criteria: organization and content accuracy, appropriateness of elements, creativity, and appearance. The actual rubric to be used in assessing your product will be found on page 21.
