What household item could represent a ribosome?
Use play sand for the ribosomes. Ribbon and lace, zigzagged across the Styrofoam cytoplasm, represents the endoplasmic reticulum; ribbon for the smooth and lace for the rough.
What can you relate ribosomes to?
Ribosomes are found ‘free’ in the cell cytoplasm and also attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes receive information from the cell nucleus and construction materials from the cytoplasm. Ribosomes translate information encoded in messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA).
What food can represent ribosomes?
| Cell Component | Suggested “Building Material” |
|---|---|
| Golgi Bodies | 2 blue or green pieces of fruit roll up |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | 2 red or yellow pieces of fruit roll up |
| Ribosomes | 1 teaspoon of round cake sprinkles |
| Mitochondria | 4 hot tamale candies |
What everyday object is like a Centriole?
The Centriole(cell organizer) helps organize cells. They help the cell when it comes to dividing, they also help with positioning cells. An everyday item would be a tow truck because tow trucks position cars into designated parking slots.
What object are ribosomes like?
Ribosome are like a factory, because ribosomes make proteins like factories make different products. The cell membrane is like a security guard, because the cell membrane controls what goes in and out of a cell like a security guard controls who goes in and out of the gate.
What are ribosomes examples?
An example of a ribosome is one of the particles located outside of a cell that helps build proteins. A structure composed of RNA and protein, present in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells and serving as the site for assembly of polypeptides encoded by messenger RNA.
What candy can represent Centrioles?
twizzlers
We chose centrioles to be represented by twizzlers. Centrioles control the cell during cell division. We chose centrioles to be represented be twizzlers because centrioles look like twizzlers.
What foods represent rough ER?
sour gummy worms
Rough ER transports materials through the cell and produces proteins in sacks called cisternae (which are sent to the Golgi body, or inserted into the cell membrane). It is represented by sour gummy worms.
What household item represents a vacuole?
Central Vacuole – Place many cans and containers of food and bottles water in one cabinet – This will represent the central vacuole.
What everyday object is like a cytoskeleton?
The cytoskeleton is like the beams of a house because they help the house hold it’s shape.
What would a ribosome be in a school?
Ribosomes are like teachers in school. Ribosome helps to produce important proteins for a cell and teachers produce educated people. They act as a powerhouse organelles off the cell getting things done, and the staff do the same, making school run and function. The cafeteria in the school is like chloroplast.
What candy can represent lysosome?
It is represented by folded ribbons of hard candy. lysosome – (also called cell vesicles) round organelles surrounded by a membrane and containing digestive enzymes. This is where the digestion of cell nutrients takes place. They are represented by M&M’s.
