The Tupperware sandwich box represents the cell wall of the plant cell. Place the Ziploc bag into the Tupperware sandwich box and place it into the fridge.The Ziploc bag represents the cell membrane and the Jell-O represents the cytoplasm. CAREFULLY pour the Jell-O into one of the Ziploc bags and seal it. IF YOU BOIL WATER TO MAKE THE JELLO.ALLOW THE JELLO TO COOL IN THE FRIDGE OR FREEZER FOR A HALF HOUR OR MORE TO MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT BURN YOURSELF!!ДЇirst, begin to make the Plant cell. **Kids: Have an adult help you with this step since it may involve boiling water** Follow the directions on two boxes of Jell-O to make it.Do this by either filling them with water or air and see if any leaks out. Test the plastic bags to ensure that they have no holes in them.Use the graphic representations of the cells to guide your decisions of what best represents each of the organelles and also use the table at the end of this activity to help organize the materials. Choose fruit, vegetables, or candy to represent each of the organelles.Changes food energy into chemical energy the cell can use.Д¬ytoplasm - The fluid of the cell that all the cell's organelles are contained within. Mitochondria - The energy center of the cell. It can break down old and damaged parts of the cell and also store chemicals that the cell needs.Д¬hloroplasts - Only in plant cells, these organelles convert solar energy to chemical energy that the cell can use. Vacuole - In plant cells, it is like a very large lyosome. Peroxisomes - Breaks down H2O2, a poisonous by-product of some cellular processes. The digested waste can then be used to make new parts of the cell. Lysosomes - Digests the cell's food and wastes. In cells for different functions, it is responsible for making the proteins the cell needs to perform many functions. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum - It is 'smooth' since it does not have ribosomes attached to it like the rough endoplasmic reticulum. It has two functions: one is to make more membrane and another is to make proteins, such as antibodies. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum - It is 'rough' since it has many ribosomes attached to it. Golgi Body - Finishes processing the proteins made by the ribosomes and 'packages' them for transport to where they are needed in the cell. Ribosomes - Where proteins are created that the cell needs It controls what goes in and out the cell or each of the organelles. The membrane that surrounds the entire cell is called the cellular membrane. Membrane - Surrounds many of the organelles of the cell (except for ribosomes in this list) and also the entire cell itself. It also contains all the genetic material that determines the cell's characteristics. It controls many of the chemical reactions that occur within the cytoplasm (defined below under miscellaneous). Nucleus - The control center of the cell. Try to think of clever ways and remember the functions of the organelles. Then, after you think you have them memorized, complete the matching game on the last page. Make sure to also take a look at the animal cell above to see what the organelle looks like. Ask an adult to help you if necessary.Д®xamine this list of the organelles and each of their functions. **Remember to use fruits, vegetables, or candy that is available and that YOU like! If you make sure to use ingredients that you think go together and are yummy then you can eat your cell at the end!** Safety Use the shopping list at the end of this activity to guide you. Fruit or candy to represent the various organelles of the cell.2 boxes of light colored Jell-O (lemon is suggested).

Learn how to tell the difference between plant and animal cells.

Learn the different organelles that make up a cell.

However, the plant cell has some organelles that the animal cell does not, and the animal cell has some organelles that the plant cell does not have. If you notice in the pictures of the animal cell and plant cell below, they do not look exactly alike! Many of the organelles are the same in both the plant and animal cell and perform similar functions.

If an organelle were a piece of fruit, the membrane would be the skin of the fruit. A membrane's function is to separate the organelle from the area around it. These cells contain many organelles and a membrane surrounds many of these. The more complex cells in plants and animals are called eukaryotic cells. Notice that the prokaryotic cell has very few organelles. All the different parts of a cell are called organelles and each serve a specific purpose. Bacteria are examples of a prokaryotic cells and a picture of one bacterium can be found below. The simplest cells are called prokaryotic cells. Cells are divided into two types of cells based upon their complexity. The smallest and simplest unit of life is called a cell. 45 Minutes, additional 3 hours for Jello to set Age Appropriateness
