The Incredible Edible Cell

You will be required to construct a model of a plant OR animal cell. All models must be made out of
edible materials that will remain fresh at least 3 days without refrigeration. Avoid using materials that
have an unpleasant odor or that may be considered offensive!
Each model must include all of the following organelles
Cell wall (if plant cell)
Ribosomes
Cell membrane
Mitochondria
Nucleus
Vacuoles
Cytoplasm
ysosomes (if animal cell)
Chloroplasts (if plant cell)

!rades will be based on the following questions
Is your name on the pro-ect.
Is the cell type identified. Tell if it is a plant or animal cell/
Is the model a 01% representation of a plant or animal cell.
,re all the or2anelles included. (remember3 plant and animal cells are different)
,re the or2anelles correctly labeled. Each or2anelle must be labeled with its name and function/ "ou may
label each or2anelle or use a 4ey/
,re the materials acceptable.
Is the model under 05 centimeters on any side.
