Animal Cell Project how to start?

I'm writing an animal cell project, but I don't know how to start. In the directions, it says i have to start off describing the organelles and how it is different from plant cells, but how do I start?

    I had to do this last year, first draw a diagram of an animal cell, I'd advise using many pictures but heres a good one:

    On another piece of paper, write out the organelles, their function and if they only appear in animal cells. (For instance, only animal cells have centrioles.)

    Explain other differences, such as plant cells are usually more square and animal cells are circular/no shape.

    Throw in any additional info to assure a 100.

    Source(s): I had to do this last year.

    gelatin would be good for the animal cell, but it would be hard to show the mitochondria and such inside it. The cake is good for the plant cell, since it's supposed to be stiff. But again, the organelles would be hard to put on there. Good luck ;)

    three major differences between plant and animal cells.

    plant cell has:

    1. a cell wall. to shape, support, protect whats inside! ( like a bra ) lol

    2. chloroplasts. which convert energy using photosythesis.

    3. a large central vacuole. which stores water.
