Today I made a cell that you would be able to eat. Though I advise you not to because it was made out of all kinds of grows things put together. Though I like bread, Jello, grapes, bananas, and carrots. I don't like them together. The first thing I did was I went down to the storage room and got lemon jello. We mixed it up and then I put one bag in a plastic cup. The plastic cup stood for the cell wall. That one was the plant cell. I filled it with half of the jello and then I took my other bag and put it in a bowl (so it didn't spill) and I poured the rest of the jello into it. That one was the animal cell. The bags stood for the cell membrane and the jello would stand for the cytoplasm. Then I took the dried prunes out and we cut them open. The prunes would be the nucleus. I took some carrot shreds and stuffed the dried prunes with it. the shredded carrots stood for the chromosomes. Then I put one stuffed dried prune into each bag. Then I took one piece of bread and rolled it till it was really thin (like a tortilla). I folded it up a bunch. Then I cut it to squares. That was the ER. Then I took dried prunes and cut them up like raisins. Then I stuck them in between the bread. Those were the Ribosomes. Then I put one of each in the bags. Then I took some thin slices on banana, stacked them on top of each other and put some in each bag. The banana slices stood for the Golgi body. Then I put in some mandarin oranges. The mandarin oranges stood for the mitochondria. Then I got some grapes and put them in the plant cell bag. They stood for the chloroplasts. Then I tied them up and put them in the fridge to freeze a little. When I pulled them out they were my own edible cells. :D ~ Rachel
