THE SLACK PACKS EDIBLE CELL
Josh Smith, Zoie Smith, Mikeelee Brink, Keeston Perry, and Ivy Ferko
Cell MembraneThe cell membrane in our edible cell is the pie crust. We chose the pie crust for the cell membrane because it looks like it and holds it together like a cell.
Author: Josh Smith
Nucleus
The nucleus in our edible cell is a plum. The nucleus is the brain of the cell. I chose a plum because it easily represents it because of the shape and also has the nucleolus inside.
Author: Ivy Ferko
Mitochondria
Author: Keeston Perry
We chose grapes as our mitochondria because they have similar shape. The mitochondria creates energy called ATP.
Golgi Body
Author: Zoie Smith
I chose to put green licorice as the Golgi Body because it represents the same form as the Golgi Body. In the animal cell, the Golgi Body packages items to leave the cell.
Rough E.R
Author: Mikeelee Brink
The function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum is to make lipids. It also contains ribosomes, unlike the smooth E.R. I chose liquorish because it is long and stringy like rough E.R.
Smooth E.R
Author:Author: Josh Smith
We used red licorice without the M&M’s for the Smooth E.R because it looks like it. The smooth E.R makes lipids(fat).
Ribosomes
Author: Ivy Ferko
Mini M&M’s represent the ribosome in our edible cell. I picked these out because they are the same size and shape on ribosomes which create protein.
Vacuoles
Author: Keeston Perry
The chunk of banana represents the vacuole which stores food and water. We chose this to represent it because is the same size as the vacuole.
Nuclear membrane
Author: Zoie Smith
The nuclear membrane is a double-layered membrane enclosing the nucleus of a cell that controls what enters and leaves the nucleus. In this edible cell, we used the skin of the plum because it surrounds the nucleus.
Cytoplasm
Author: Mikeelee Brink
The cytoplasm helps movement in the cell. I chose cool whip as the cytoplasm because it is smooth and liquidy.
Lysosomes
Author: Josh Smith
We used blueberries for our lysosomes because they look like them. Lysosomes dispose of cellular waste.
Cytoskeleton
Author: Ivy Ferko
I chose mini pop tarts as my cytoskeleton which connects everything and gives it shape. I put these in the sell because they are hard and take the same shape as the cytoskeleton.
Nucleolus
Author: Keeston Perry
The Nucleolus is the plum core. This is because it is in the middle of the nucleus or the plum. The Nucleolus contains ribosomes and DNA.
Chromatin
Author: Zoie Smith
The chromatin is the combination of DNA and proteins that make up the contents of the nucleus of a cell. The chromatin also packages DNA into smaller volumes to fit the cell. The chromatin is inside of the chromosome.
Chromosomes
Author: Mikeelee Brink
Chromosomes strands of coiled up DNA. Their function is to control the activities of the cell. I chose green licorice to represent chromosomes because they are strands like chromosomes.
