Nucleolus

• The group used caramel and an M&M to represent the nucleolus. We chose these two items because the caramel could be molded into a circle and the M&M finished the design. The nucleolus makes ribosomes. It get the materials to make the ribosomes from the rough Endoplasmic Reticulum or rough E.R.

Chromatin

• The group used Scooby-Doo sour straws to represent the chromatin in the nucleus. We used the sour straws because they had the structural shape of chromatin. The chromatin hold the genetics of a cell. They are need when the cell divides though mitosis.

Lysosome

• The Group used Sixlets to represent the lysosomes. Sixlets have the same round shape of lysosomes this is why we used them. Lysosomes have the important job of getting ride of different waste products in the cell or unwanted organelles.

Cytoskeleton

• To represent the cytoskeleton the group used Peel-apart Twizzlers. We made the Twizzlers look like they were weaving through the cytoplasm similar to the cytoskeleton. We chose the Twizzlers because the were easily pliable. The cytoskeletons job in the cell is to give structural support.

Cell Membrane

• We used peel apart twizlers as the cell membrane because they are thin and bendy like the cell membrane. The cell membrane is what keeps the harmful substances out of the cell and it also keeps some stuff from leaving.

Alex Eberhart

Nucleus

• We used orange icing as the nucleus because it was easy to shape it to look like a nucleus. The nucleus is like the brain of the cell. It is the organelle that sends out the information that will tell it what to do. The nucleus also holds some of the genetic material and DNA.

Alex Eberhart

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

• The smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum moves proteins that the Rough ER makes to the Golgi Body. We used gummy worms because they resemble the organelle.

Dillon Perry

Mitochondria

• We chose to use circus peanuts as the mitochondria because they almost have the same shape. The mitochondria are the organelles that produce ATP, a vital type of energy that the cells throughout the body must have in order to communicate with each other.

Alex Eberhart

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

• The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum performs the synthesis of proteins and transports biochemical compounds. We used sour gummy worms because it has the little white things that look like Ribosomes on it.

Dillon Perry

Golgi Apparatus

• The Golgi Apparatus uses enzymes to trim extra amino acids off proteins and sends unfinished proteins through the Smooth ER. We used sour straws because they resemble the organelle when a bunch are together.

Dillon Perry

Ribosome

• We used pop rocks for ribosomes because thy are small like ribosomes. Tiny, somewhat mitten-shaped organelle occurring in great numbers in the cell cytoplasm either freely, in small clusters, or attached to the outer surfaces of endoplasmic reticula, and functioning as the site of protein manufacture.

Scott Jordt

Nuclear Membrane

• We used twizzlers for the nuclear membranes because it looks like a membrane because it could be made into a circle. Regulates the in and out movement of substances in a cell especially between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. It is also charged with holding the nucleus together thus preventing any collapse.

Cytoplasm

• We used icing for the cell membrane because it covers the whole cell. The cytoplasm holds the organelles of the cell in place and also maintains the pressure of the cell.
