1. Edible Plant Cell Model
Carter Lellock

2. The function of the
cell wall is to support
and protect the body of
the cell as well as the
organelles inside.
We used fruit by the foot
to represent the cell wall
on our plant model because
it is long and thin just like a cell
wall.

3. The function of the
cytoplasm is to provide
support for the overall cell, a
means of transportation
throughout the cell, and
abase for which the
organelles are supported on.
We chose Cool Whip to
represent the cytoplasm on
our model because just like the
real cytoplasm, it provided a base
that we could put the organelles on. Carter Lellock

4. The function of the
mitochondria is to make APT
energy for the cell. It takes
in elements and chemicals
and in turn produces energy
that the cell uses for various
function like creating
ribosomes.
We chose Sour Patch Watermelons to
represent our mitochondria because they
are the same basic shape and they even
have a pattern that is similar to the surface
area pattern in real mitochondria. Carter Lellock

5. The function of chloroplast is to
take in sunlight, water, and
carbon dioxide and process
those into glucose, which is
sugar, and oxygen. This is
known as photosynthesis
and is crucial for the plant cell
as well as the plant that the cell
makes up. The glucose is used
as food while the oxygen is a
waste.
We chose Hershey Kisses for our Chloroplast
because we were able to easily recreate
its shape with them. Carter Lellock

6. Nucleus
• We used the Lindor
Chocolates for the nucleus
because it has a filling that
can be used as the
nucleolus.
• The function of the nucleus
is to store all the genetic
information of the
organism.
Casey Washburn

7. Nucleolus
• We used the Lindor
Chocolates for the
nucleolus because the
filling is used for Nucleolus.
• The function of the
nucleolus is to produce
and arrange sub units.
Casey Washburn

8. Vacuole
• We used the Fruit Roll-
Ups for the vacuole
because when you form
them into a circle it looks
like a pouch.
• The function of the
vacuole is to store
materials such as waste.
Casey Washburn

9. Smooth E. R.
• We used the Fruit By The
Foot for the Smooth E. R.
because when you scrunch
up the Fruit By The Foot it
looks like the Smooth E. R.
• The Smooth E. R. is the
transport system with in the
cell and it doesn’t have
ribosomes.
Casey Washburn

10. Golgi Body
Golgi Body
The Golgi body groups lipids and
proteins together into vesicles. It then
ships those vesicles in and out of the
cell.
We picked fruit roll ups because we could form the wavy look of the
Golgi body.

11. Rough E.R.
• The rough E.R. has ribosomes on it. Its job is
to make proteins that the cell needs.
• We chose fruit by the foot and skittles
because it was the best thing we could use to
represent it.

12. Ribosomes
• The ribosomes get info from the nucleus to
make proteins.
• We used skittles to represent ribosomes
because they are small and round like
ribosomes. Ribosomes

13. Lysosomes
• Lysosomes act as a garbage disposal. They get
rid of all cellular waste.
• We used skittles to represent lysosomes
because they are in a different location then
the ribosomes but look the same.

14. Chromatin
 We used Swedish Fish to
represent chromatin
because we could
make them stringy like
the DNA-type structures.
 The chromatin contains
some DNA of the
organism.

15. Cell Membrane
 We decided to use
cake as our cell
membrane because it
would be a good base
structure to place
everything in our cell on
top of it.
 The cell membrane
protects the cell from it’s
outside environment.
Kylee Knox

16. Cytoskeleton
 We used Swedish Fish as
our cytoskeleton
because it looked like
the actual cytoskeleton
in a cell.
 The cytoskeleton is what
helps the cell’s structure
stay in place and
maintain it’s shape.
Kylee Knox

17. Nuclear
Membrane
 We used Fruit By The
Foot to represent the
nuclear membrane of
our cell because we
could put it around the
nucleus very easily.
 The nuclear membrane
protects and provides a
barrier for the nucleus.
