What is Wrong with the diagram of
these 3 Plant cells?
What is Wrong with the diagram of
these 3 Plant cells?
Clear Continuous Lines – No Overlapping
Labels should touch the Structure
of the Cell
No Part of the Cell Should be
Shaded.
What are the
differences
between the
2 plant cell
diagrams?
Steps to follow for a biological
drawing
Before Drawing:
• Study the specimen carefully
• Examine the significant features that will be included in the
drawing.
During Drawing:
• DRAW ONLY WHAT YOU SEE!! Do not include what you think you
should see.
• Draw with a SHARP Pencil
• Clear continuous lines – No overlapping
• No coloring or Shading
