2. Cell wall
• Cell wall: We used twizzlers for
the cell wall because they were
long and thick like the cell wall.
• Function: The cell wall is the
outer most layer of the cell and
the nucleus allows it to be able to
bring things in and out of the cell
CP
3. Cell Membrane
• Cell membrane: We used sour
gummy worms because they
weren’t as big as the twizzlers
and were the extra support to the
cell.
• Function: The function of the cell
membrane is it’s a extra
supporting layer to the cell and
helps the cell wall.

4. Nucleus
•
•
AC
Nucleus: We used a Halloween
cupcake because it was a
perfect size and also was a
representation of the control
center.
Function: The Nucleus of a cell
is the control center of the whole
inter cell.
5. Nucleolus
•
•
CP
Nucleolus: We used a orange chocolate
ball because it was small like the
nucleolus and contributed to factors
dealing with the nucleus.
Function: It contains all of the cells DNA,
is used as instructions to create building
blocks of the cells(proteins),and is also
know as the brain of the cell and controls
what goes on.
6. Mitochondria
• Mitochondria: We used a part of
a twinke to represent the
mitochondria and also were a
great example because of its
small size and shape.
• Function: The function of the
mitochondria is to produce
energy for various parts of the
body. It also helps in the building
of certain parts of the blood and
hormones like testosterone and
the estrogens.
SD
7. Chloroplast
•
•
AC
Chloroplast: We used vanilla wafers for
the chloroplast because it reminded us of
the sunlight and how they get food.
Function: The function chloroplast is only
found in plant cells, they use
photosynthesis to make ATP which
energy for the cell
8. Golgi Body
•
•
CP
Golgi Body: We used Mike and Ike’s for
the Golgi body or also know as the
Golgi apparatus because they where
slimy and the structure of them was a
great example.
Function: The function of the Golgi
body stores, packages and distributes
the proteins and lipids made in the
endoplasmic reticulum.
9. Rough E.R.
• Rough E.R: We used wipe cream
•
•
SD
and little chocolate candies because
it represented the lipids being carried
through the Rough E.R.
Function: Rough E.R. function is to
perform the synthesis of proteins and
transport of many biochemical
compounds in the cell
It is made up of a system of tubules,
vesicles, and cisternae and on the
surface it has ribosomes which make
it appear rough hence its name.
10. Smooth E.R.
• Smooth E.R: We used wipe
cream because it was
representing the protein being
transferred to the nucleus.
• Function: The function Smooth
E.R. is involved in the synthesis
of carbohydrate, female
hormones and lipids. These
organelles also help detoxify
certain compounds in the liver
cells. Smooth E.R. is also a aid
in the contraction of muscle cells.
AC
11. Ribosomes
•
•
CP
Ribosomes: We used brown
sprinkles because they were like
the ribosomes in a picture and
were the right color that was
needed to represent them.
Function: The function of the
ribosomes are protein
macromolecules made from
complex of RNAs and found within
all living cells.
12. Large Vacuole
•
•
SD
Large Vacuole: We used a
chocolate Debbie because it
was bigger than the nucleus and
also was the storage center of
the cell.
Function: The function of the
large vacuole in the plant cell is
to provide pressure against the
cell wall, giving the structure( in
place of a skeletal system). It
also serves to store water and
other ions.
13. Nuclear
Membrane
•
•
AC
Nuclear Membrane: We used
mini vanilla wafers because
they were smaller then the
chloroplast and were little
shields to protect the nucleus.
Function: The function of the
Nuclear membrane is to
regulate the in and out
movement of substances in cell
especially between the nucleus
and the cytoplasm.
14. Cytoplasm
• Cytoplasm: We used green
vanilla pudding because it
covered between everything
from the cell membrane to the
nuclear membrane.
• Function: The function of
cytoplasm is to provide support
to the internal structures of a cell
by being a medium size
suspension. As such, it helps to
maintain the shape and size of
the cell. The cytoplasm acts as a
site for vital metabolic reactions.
CP
15. Perioximes
•
•
SD
Lysosomes: We used gumballs
for the lysosome because they
looked like they would fit for the
job, and also the gum inside
was representing the inside of
the Lysosomes we saw in a
picture.
Function: the function of
lysosomes is that they contain
a powerful digestive enzymes
that digest excess or worn-out
organelles, food particles and
engulfed bacteria or viruses.
16. Cytoskeleton
•
•
AC
Cytoskeleton: We also used
Mike and Ike’s for the
cytoskeleton because we
formed and made them look
like cytoskeleton.
Function: The function the
cytoskeleton is to provide
support and shape to the cell
and anchors the organelles in
place. It also helps the
movement of materials in and
out of the cell.
17. Chromatin
• Chromatin: We used a couple
sour gummy worms because it
was representing little lines of
DNA found in the cell.
• Function: The function of the
chromatin is responsible for
transferring the DNA blueprints
of a cell over to the RNA, protein
and other DNA copies. It makes
sure that each part of the
blueprint is accurate.
