2. • I used clay to represent a cell and it’s organelles
because it can be moved and shaped without
damage and looks like cell organelles.

3. Functions
The cell wall provides structure for plant cells. The cell
membrane protects the cell and let’s only certain
thing enter or leave. The nucleus contains the cells
genetic material (The brain of the cell). The
mitochondria creates energy from the cell from
respiration. Chloroplast creates energy from sunlight
through photosynthesis. The Golgi body packages
proteins for the cell to use. The endoplasmic reticulum
forms an interconnected network between
organelles. Ribosomes creates proteins for the cell.
Vacuoles stores materials for the cell to use. The
nuclear protects the nucleus and nucleolus.

4. Functions cont.
• Cytoplasm is the gel that helps to protect the
organelles, keeps them in place, and is the place all
chemical reactions occur in the cell. Lysosomes are
used to digest food in the cell (like a stomach). A
cytoskeleton is used to provide structure and further
secure organelles in place. The nucleolus produces
ribosomes for the cells. The chromatin is a jumbled
up ball of chromosomes.
