Cell Diagram


Our Cell Diagram Project:
Zoe Gold, Elya Kaplan

This year in Science our teacher Liam tought us about the cell organelles.
Liam had us make a cell diagram. We could pair up or do it alone. We got to choose if we wanted to make an animal cell diagram or a plant cell diagram. Each team was required to include at least five organelles. Zoe and I paired up and made a plant cell. We had to label each organelle and say what they were in a paragraph of this exact sort. We used included a Mitochondria, which is the powerhouse of the cell. We chose to add Lysosome, Ribosomes, a Chloroplast, the Cytoskeleton, and the Golgi Bodies. For the Mitochondria we chose a small building. The Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, and we thought the small building resembled a powerhouse. For the Lysosome, we put a small orange ball. The Lysosome is a round shape, which is why we chose that. It's job is to digest the waste in the cell. For the Ribosomes, we chose marbles. The Ribosomes are also a round shape, but there are many of them, which is why we put multiple marbles. Their job is to make proteins.
For the Golgi Bodies, we put a stamp, because the Golgi Bodies store and sort the proteins.
For the Chloroplast, we put green jelly beans. We chose the jelly beans not because they are food, but because they are green. The Chloroplast performs photosynthesis, which is what makes the plant green.
 For the Cytoplasm, we chose the stuffing. The stuffing fills the cell, like the Cytoplasm. The Cytoplasm is important because the Cytoskeleton is in it, and the Cytoskeleton is what allows the cell to move.
