The best way to study a cell is to make one that you can eat. This cell shows everything that is in a plant

cell while still having something delicious to eat.

Chandler Emhoff

Cell Wall• We chose the red

twizzlers as the cell wall because they are similar in looks to what the cell wall would be.

• Cell Wall- The cell wall is a tough rigid layer that surrounds the cell and provides support and structure

Chandler Emhoff

Cell Membrane

• We chose the yellow twizzlers as the cell membrane because they are semi permeable to substances and they are also similar in looks.

• Cell Membrane- it is a semi permeable that protects and controls what substances go in and out of a cell

Chandler Emhoff

Nucleus

• We chose the cookie as the nucleus because it is similar in the shape of the nucleus in a cell.

• Nucleus- the nucleus is the brain of the cell and controls everything that happens in the cell. It controls what other parts of the cell do and how the cell moves

Chandler Emhoff

Mitochondria

• We chose the cashews as the mitochondrion because nuts are a very good source of energy and the mitochondrion produce energy.

• Mitochondria- The processes of making respiration and energy occur because of this cell

Chandler Emhoff

Ribosomes

• Ribosomes follow instructions from the nucleus and create proteins

• We used the long and skinny sprinkles to represent the sprinkles because that’s what we thought would represent ribosomes best because they are similar

Sammy Gigliotti

Vacuoles

• Vacuoles isolate substances that may be harmful

• We chose the Kit-Kat to represent the vacuole because it is large and the vacuole is the largest organelle

Sammy Gigliotti

Nuclear Membrane

• The nuclear membrane encloses the nucleus from the cytoplasm

• We chose the red twizzler around the cookie for the nuclear membrane because it the nuclear membrane keeps things out of the nucleus

Sammy Gigliotti

Cytoplasm

• The cytoplasm maintains internal pressure of the cell

• We chose the icing for the cytoplasm because it takes up the whole cell and it keeps the organelles in place

Sammy Gigliotti

Chloroplast

• For the chloroplast, we chose green jelly beans because they represent photosynthesis.

• The function of the chloroplast is to convert the sun’s rays into energy.

Canaan Knox

Golgi Body

• The Golgi body was represented by a piece of spaghetti because it looks like the Golgi body.

• The Golgi body groups lipids and proteins and packages them.

Canaan Knox

Rough E.R

• The Rough E.R. is represented as a piece of spaghetti covered with sprinkles as ribosomes because it looks like a Rough E.R.

• The rough E.R. performs the synthesis of protiens and transports them.

Canaan Knox

Smooth E.R.

• The Smooth E.R. is represented as a piece of spaghetti also without sprinkles on them. We chose this because it’s a smooth stringy like substance.

• The Smooth E.R. controls metabolic processes.

Canaan Knox

Lysosome-The lysosome in a cell disposes of the excess waste.

-We used the black jellybeans to represent the lysosomes because nobody in our group likes the black liquorish flavor so we decided that it should represent getting rid of waste.

Ethan Riley

Cytoskeleton-The main function of the cytoskeleton is to hold the cell together.

-We used sour straws to represent the cytoskeleton because they are a thick rigid structure that can keep all the other materials in place.

Ethan Riley

Nucleolus-The function of the nucleolus is to make ribosomes.

-We used icing to represent the nucleolus because they are similar in appearance.

Ethan Riley

Chromatin-The chromatin is the chromosomes before the cell is about to divide.

-We used sprinkles to represent these because they are both extremely small substances.
