3. Cell Wall
Cell Wall
• The cell wall, which in a plant is made of cellulose, gives the cell
structure and protects the cell.
• We used a cookie cake as the cell wall because we decided that
we could shape a cookie easily enough into a rectangle.

4. Plasma Membrane
Plasma Membrane
• The plasma membrane, which is made of phospho-lipids, controls
what goes in and out of the cell.
• For the plasma membrane we used gummy worms to represent it
because we knew we would be able to wrap the gummy worms
around the edge of the iced area of the cell. By: Morgan Doverspike
5. Cytoplasm
The cytoplasm is a fluid that fills the cell and holds the organelles in place.
Like the cytoplasm of a cell, the icing is doing the same job which is
holding all the candy and fruit in place of the cookie cake.
6. Chloroplast
Chloroplast
• The chloroplast converts the sun’s rays into energy that the cell
uses.
• We used the grapes to represent the chloroplast because they
are green and similar in size and shape.

7. Nuclear
membrane
The nuclear membrane is a physical barrier that separates the nucleus and
the cytoplasm. We used the outside of a snowball because it is protecting
the inside of the snowball (nucleus) from the icing (cytoplasm).
8. Nucleus
Nucleus
• The nucleus is the control center of the cell and contains the DNA.
• We used the inside of the snowball to represent the nucleus because
the snowball did a good job of representing all parts of the nucleus in
shape and size.

10. Chromatin
Chromatin
We used blueberries for our chromatins because
they’re small and they’re on the Nucleus. Chromatins
organize structures of the DNA.

12. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Rough Endoplasmic
Reticulum
We used twizzlers and sprinkles because they look like the rough
endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum are
involved in synthesis of proteins and is also a membrane factory for
the cell.

13. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Smooth Endoplasmic
Reticulum
We used twizzlers for the Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum because it
looks very similar to the actual smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The
smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of lipids,
including oils, metabolism of carbohydrates, and regulation of
calcium.

14. Vacuole
Vacuole
We used a pear as our cell vacuole because
it’s big like a vacuole. The vacuole of the cell
stores water and other nutrients.

15. Golgi Apparatus
The Golgi Apparatus groups lipids and proteins and packages
them into vesicles. We used fruit by the foot as it because it
gives the illusion that its tangled together.
