edible cell project

Smooth ERWe choose regular gummy worms for the smooth ER, because they can stretch along the nucleus on the side, just like a real smooth ER

would. The function of the Smooth ER is to transport materials.

Rough ERWe choose sour Gummy worms for the rough ER, because they are just like the smooth ER (regular gummy worms) but they have ribosomes,

which count as the sour part on the gummy worms. The function of the Rough ER is to transport materials around the cell.

Jasmine Thompson

RibosomesWe choose skittles, because they are quite small compared to the rest of the items we picked, just like ribosomes in a regular plant

cell. The function of ribosomes is to make protein.

Jasmine Thompson

CytoskeletonWe choose black licorice for the cytoskeleton, because it is long, and can reach out to the other candies, just like a a cytoskeleton does to

the rest of the cell parts. The function of the cytoskeleton is to support the cell.
