How to Make an Edible Cell Model

cytoplasm

Place an open plastic bag (we used 1-gallon ziplock bags) inside a sturdy container (like a large bowl or pan) – this makes pouring the Jello easier. Slowly pour the cooled gelatin into the bag – make sure that there is room in the bag for all the cell components that will be added later.

1. Use food coloring to tint the icing so that you have one color to represent the cytoplasm, a second to represent the cell membrane, and a third to represent the nucleus.
2. Place the candies on the cake to represent the cell’s organelles.

How to Create 3D Plant Cell and Animal Cell Models for Science Class

1. Step 1: Choose Plant Cell vs. Animal Cell.
2. Step 2: Choose Edible vs. Non-Edible Model.
3. Step 3: Consider the Parts of the Cell.
4. Step 4: Choose Your Materials.
5. Step 5: Build Your Model.

Some cells are organisms unto themselves; others are part of multicellular organisms. All cells are made from the same major classes of organic molecules: nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. Together they form tissues that themselves form organs, and eventually entire organisms.

Inside a Cell A cell consists of a nucleus and cytoplasm and is contained within the cell membrane, which regulates what passes in and out. The nucleus contains chromosomes, which are the cell’s genetic material, and a nucleolus, which produces ribosomes. The endoplasmic reticulum transports materials within the cell.

Phagocytosis, process by which certain living cells called phagocytes ingest or engulf other cells or particles. The phagocyte may be a free-living one-celled organism, such as an amoeba, or one of the body cells, such as a white blood cell.

The Steps Involved in Phagocytosis

• Step 1: Activation of the Phagocyte.
• Step 2: Chemotaxis of Phagocytes (for wandering macrophages, neutrophils, and eosinophils)
• Step 3: Attachment of the Phagocyte to the Microbe or Cell.
• Step 4: Ingestion of the Microbe or Cell by the Phagocyte.

Pinocytosis (Cell Drinking) Pinocytosis (“pino” means “to drink”) is a process by which the cell takes in the fluids along with dissolved small molecules.

The Golgi apparatus, also called Golgi complex or Golgi body, is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells (cells with clearly defined nuclei) that is made up of a series of flattened stacked pouches called cisternae. It is located in the cytoplasm next to the endoplasmic reticulum and near the cell nucleus.

(pĭn′ə-sĭ-tō′sĭs, -sī-, pī′nə-) n. Introduction of fluids into a cell by invagination of the cell membrane, followed by formation of vesicles within the cell. [Greek pīnein, to drink; see pō(i)- in Indo-European roots + cyt(o)- + -osis.]
