Eukaryotic Cell Components by Marybeth Fenton https://padlet.com/mfenton22_1/8zrtz514y90hsht6 It can be challenging to remember all the structures, and each of their function, of a eukaryotic cell. Grouping the structures by shared function can make it a bit easier. 'Remake' this Padlet to make a copy for the group. Use 'Share' and 'Privacy' to allow others in your group to work on it. Rename the columns with student names. Taking turns, read one card aloud to the group, then drag and drop it into the category that is the best fit for that structure and that function. Justify your choice to the group. Some structures have multiple functions - discuss and come to agreement. en-us 2021-03-10 19:08:57 UTC 2021-04-30 19:35:30 UTC hello@padlet.com The NUCLEUS houses the DNA, the genetic code of the
