The Cell ModelBy- Beth Barnett, Kassi Niver, and Taylor Medsger
Kassi Niver
Cytoplasm• We used the icing for
the cytoplasm fills up the cake as does the cytoplasm in a cell.
• The function of the cytoplasm is to
maintain the internal pressure of the cell.
Taylor Medsger
Mitochondrion• We used jello for the mitochondrion because
it had folds, when it was separated, like the
mitochondrion does.
• The mitochondrion produces an energy-rich
molecule called ATP that fuels most of the
action in the cell.
Beth Barnett
Ribosomes• We used the nerds for
the ribosomes because they are small and they can go where ever you
want them to
• The function of the ribosomes are that they
create protein for the cell’s needs
Kassi Niver
Nucleus• We used a jawbreaker
for the nucleus because it is round and
resembles the nucleus.
• The function of the nucleus is to control the other organelles in the
cell.
Taylor Medsger
Cell WallWe used twizzlers as the
cell wall because
• The function of the cell wall is to maintain the
shape of the cell.
Beth Barnett
Nucleolus• We used the inside of
the jaw breaker for the nucleolus because it is
on the inside of the jawbreaker (nucleus).
• The function of the nucleolus is that it
produces ribosomes.
Kassi Niver
Plasma Membrane• We used the sour gummy worms for the
plasma membrane because
• The function of the plasma membrane is to control what nutrients and waste enter and
leave the cell.
Taylor Medsger
Golgi Apparatus
• We used fruit rollups because you could easy make it into the shape of
the golgi apparatus.
• The function of the golgiapparatus is to group items
and package them into vesicles.
Beth Barnett
Smooth ER• We used plain pancakes
for the smooth ER because it looks like a stack of
pancakes.
• The function of the smooth ER is it synthesize lipids and membrane proteins.
Taylor Medsger
Rough ER• We used chocolate chip
pancakes for the rough ER because it looked like a
stack of pancakes that had ribosomes on it.
• The function of the rough ER is to synthesize
proteins.
Beth Barnett
Cytoskeleton• We used the pan for the
cytoskeleton because it held everything in place.
• The function of the cytoskeleton is to maintain the cell’s shape and to help the inside of the cell move
