• 3d Edible Plant Cell Project

3D Cell Project Grading Expectations The “A grade' cell model project will be two believable cells, in which students are expected to. Label each cell organelle correctly - is the label pointing to the right organelle?; describe each label of each cell organelle in your own words with accuracy - what does that organelle do? (full only credit for complete answers only). 3-D Cell Model Project (100 points) Project Assigned: (Plant Cell) or (Animal cell) Project Due: Thursday, October 29th. Objective: By making a 3-D model of the cell, the student will become aware of the various organelles and structures which make up a plant or animal cell. Examples of Student Projects - five cell models; three animal cells and two plant cells How to Build a 3D Model of a Cell - instructions from Wiki-How Jello 3-D Animal Cell Craft - When the gelatin is set, you can examine your 3-D gelatin cell and then eat it.

Know the parts of an animal cell. One of the most important parts of an animal cell model is correctly representing each of the parts of a cell. Remember that animal cells and plant cells look very different from one another: they have different parts, and animal cells are not as symmetrical as plant cells are.^[1] Be sure that you are familiar with the individual components of a cell, including their function, where in the cell they are located, and what they look like. All of this will help make your model more accurate. The parts of an animal cell you might represent include:

• Nucleus. The nucleus is in the center of the cell. DNA is contained here, and the nucleus also governs protein synthesis.^[2]
• Nucleolus. This is an organelle where RNA is produced. It is contained within the cell's nucleus.^[3] It is usually a slightly darker color than the nucleus.^[4]
• Nuclear membrane. This is a thin membrane surrounding the nucleus.^[5]
• Centrosomes. These help create microtubules and are located just outside the nucleus.^[6]
• Cell membrane. The cell membrane is the thin outside barrier of the cell, made out of protein and fat.^[7] It allows certain materials though while keeping other organic materials safely within the cell.^[8]
• Cytoplasm. This substance is contained by the cell outside of the nucleus and within the cell membrane. It contains the other organelles of the cell that govern cell function, and it has a jellylike consistency.^[9]
• Lysosomes. These organelles digest nutrients, and they are round in shape.^[10]
• Ribosomes. Ribosomes are very small and grain like in appearance. They aid protein synthesis.^[11]
• Golgi bodies. These look like a stack of flat circles, and they help construct membranes for other organelles.^[12]
• Vacuoles. These are asymmetrical sacs filled with fluid and surrounded by a membrane. They are used to store waste material.^[13]
• Endoplasmic reticulum. This is a set of connected, folded tubes within the cell, used to transport material from one part of the cell to another. An endoplasmic reticulum that is covered with ribosomes is referred to as a rough endoplasmic reticulum and one that is not covered with ribosomes is a smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum branches off from the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
• Mitochondria. Mitochondria convert glucose into energy for the cell.^[14] They can be round or rod-shaped.^[15]
