Imagine you are the nucleus of a plant or animal cell and have been asked to mentor an organelle that is new to the cell. Take your mentee on a tour of the cell, describing the major parts of the cell and their functions. You may present your tour in a variety of ways; just be sure it demonstrates a complete understanding of the organelles, their functions, and how they work together to support the cell.
An overview of different kinds of organelles can be found on Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell%20%28biology%29#Organelles Sometimes wikipedia articles are hard to understand, but a description might also be found in biology textbooks. All multicellular plants and animals are eukaryotic, so concentrate on that part of the Wikipedia article. Also remember that (in general) only plants (not animals) have chloroplasts, and (by definition) animals do not have cell walls (only plants, fungi, etc. have them).
