2. Animal Cell
We chose an animal cell to be our editable cell model.
We have included several of the vital cell parts to
include.
Katie LaBelle
3. Mitochondrion
The mitochondrion makes energy for the cell.
We decided to use a peach ring for a mitochondrion,
because it has sugar, which kind of represents energy.
Katie
4. Cytoskeleton
The Cytoskeleton helps hold the cell together and give
it it‟s shape and flexibility.
We chose straws to resemble the cytoskeleton
because it can keep shape well and resembles the
cytoskeleton.
Katie
5. Lysosome
The lysosome is sort of like a „suicide organelle‟,
because it gets rid of all unwanted or disfunctioning
materials.
We decided to represent the lysosome with a jellybean,
because it is small and compact, and unwanted
materials look like they could easily fit in, if there was
an opening.

6. Chromosomes
Chromosomes are the strands of proteins in the
nucleus that give the cells its‟ characteristics.
We used gummy worms to resemble the
chromosomes, because they could easily be split up in
half and be crossed to make an X, like a chromosome
would look like.
Brittney
7. Cell Membrane
The cell membrane protects the inner part of the cell.
We used yellow icing to represent the cell membrane
because it was different from everything else that we
used, and stood out, showing what we meant.
Brittney
8. Nucleus
The nucleus mainly controls all of the cell activities and
also holds genetic material.
We used a chocolate chip cookie to resemble the
Nucleus, because it was circular and could easily be
made into a center part, and had chocolate chips,
which could be the Nucleolus.
Brittney
9. Nucleolus
The nucleolus is the part in the nucleus that make the
ribosomes
We chose chocolate chips to represent a nucleolus
because they are small and they can be dense like in
interphase when a nucleolus is
Brittney
10. Nuclear Membrane
The nuclear membrane surrounds the nucleus and
keeps things out and only lets certain things in
We used yellow icing to represent the nuclear
membrane because it usually surrounds a cake
Amanda
11. Ribosomes
Ribosomes are small particles in the cell that makes
proteins.
We used sprinkles to resemble the ribosomes, because
they are very small, and can be sprinkled everywhere.
Amanda
12. Rough Endoplasmic
Reticulum
The rough endoplasmic reticulum moves ribosomes
from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
We chose the twislers with sprinkles because twislers
have holes in the middle for passage ways and the
sprinkles are tiny like ribosomes.
Amanda
13. Smooth Endoplasmic
Reticulum
The Smooth E.R. is basically like a “highway” that
transports materials from the nucleus to the cell
membrane.
We decided to use twizlers because they have groves
in them that could symbolize the paths that the
materials transport through.
Katie
14. Lysosome
The lysosome digests unneeded particles in the cell
We chose the cut, chocolate twizler because it is small
like a lysosome and it has ridges in it.
