1. Golgi Apparatus
We chose to use sour airhead
strips as the golgi apparatus
because they have a similar
appearance due to their
ribbon-like structure.
The golgi apparatus packages
protein within the cell so they
can be sent to their desired
location.

2. Cell Membrane
Twizzlers depict the cell
membrane due to the fact that
they are flexible and can
surround the cell.
The cell membrane separates
and protects the interior of the
cell from the surrounding
environment. It also regulates
the movement of different
substances going in and out of
the cell.

3. Mitochondria
We chose to use candy orange
slices to represent the
mitochondria because they
have a similar half-moon or
jelly bean shape.
The mitochondria produces a
source of chemical energy
called adenosine triphosphate.
They are also in charge of the
cell’s cycle and growth.

4. Cytoskeleton
We put incisions into the icing
of our cells to represent the
cytoskeleton. We did this
because the cytoskeleton is
within the cytoplasm and looks
like filaments.
The cytoskeleton is what holds
are the cell parts together in
the right places.

5. We chose a Devil Food Cake to
represent the Nucleus because
it had a hard outer layer, that
represents the Nuclear
Membrane, It had a softer
inside, that represents the
Chromatin, and it had a cream
filled center where we could
place the Nucleolus. It was also
soft enough that we could cut
into it to show all the parts. We
chose an orange skittle to
represent the Nucleolus
because it was round and was
small enough to fit inside the
Nucleus.
Nucleus- a membrane-bound
organelle found in eukaryotic
cells that contains the cell’s
genetic material

Nucleolus
Nucleolus- a non-membrane bound structure composed of proteins and nucleic found in
the nucleus

7. Also, we put nerds to
represent Ribosomes.
Ribosomes look like
tiny dot like structures
and we felt nerds
were the best way we
could represent them.
Ribosomes are a
particle containing
RNA and proteins that
bind and transfer RNA
and proteins. We put
more nerds on this
side of the E.R. side to
show that it is the
Rough E.R.
• Ribosomoes
LA

8. To represent the
Rough E.R. we chose
to use gummy worms
because the
endoplasmic
reticulum is like a
wavy worm like
structure and we felt
that gummy worms
could do the best job
in copying the looks of
the Rough E.R. The
Rough E.R. packages
and sends out
proteins.
• Rough Endoplasmic
Reticulum.

9. To represent the
Smooth E.R. we chose
to use gummy worms
because the
endoplasmic
reticulum is like a
wavy worm like
structure and we felt
that gummy worms
could do the best job
in copying the looks of
the Smooth E.R. The
Smooth E.R. makes
the proteins.

10. Lysosomes
We used skittles as the
lysosomes of our cell
because they are
round, and slightly bigger
than our ribosomes
(nerds.) The lysosomes are
the cells waste disposal
system; therefor, they also
help the cell with
digestion.

11. Cytoplasm
We used icing to represent the
cytoplasm of our cell because it
could be spread around all over,
and it has a jelly-like look just
like actual cytoplasm does. The
cytoplasm holds all of the
organelles in place.
