7. Slide #2
• M &M’s: Peroxisomes- Convert stored oils into
energy molecules
• We chose M & M’s because they are small
• Folded Fruit Roll Up: Endoplasmic ReticulumMakes, stores, and transports proteins
• We chose this organelle because it looked like
other E.R.s we have seen before.

8. Slide #3
• Nucleolus: Fruit Gusher- Transcribes RNA – We picked the fruit
gusher because inside the gusher is goo that represents the genetic
code.
• Nucleus: Reese’s Cup- Controls the action of the cell- We Picked the
Reese’s Cup because it was the best part and it controlled the cell
like the nucleus
• Nuclear Membrane: Edge of Reese’s Cup- Controls on what goes in
and out of the cell- We picked this because in the middle (peanut
butter) would be the nucleus and the outside (chocolate) would be
the nuclear membrane.
• Vacuole: Marshmallow- Stores nutrients and water that the cells
need to survive- We picked the marshmallow because it was the
biggest part on the cell and was able to hold food and water.

9. Slide #4
• Mitochondria: Yellow Gummy Worms- Produces ATP- We
picked it because it looked different from the other parts
and had its own DNA.
• Cytoskeleton: Sour Punch Strand- helps the cell keep its
rigidity- We picked this because it looked like the right part
for the organelle
• Cell Membrane: Twizzlers- Controls what goes in and out of
the cell- We picked this because it was long enough to
cover the outside of the cell and it was able to let things in
and out of the cell.
• Cell Wall: Fruit by the Foot- helps protect the cell and help
keeps the cell shape- We chose it because it can expand
and is able to keep the cells shape.

10. Slide #5 & #6
• Cytoplasm: Brown Icing- All organelles are suspended in
here- We chose it because it the icing is able to hold all of
the organelles
• Chloroplast: White Frosting- Convert the Sun’s rays into
energy- We chose this because it gave it color and made it
stand out
• Chromatin: Blue Gummy Worm- make up content of
nucleus- We chose this because it was in a clump like
chromatin would be.
• Golgi Apparatus: Group of Twizzlers- pack and move lipids
and proteins- We chose this because the twizzlers have
twisted pieces that look like they are moving the proteins
around.
