Edible Cell Models

Let’s look again at some of the models we saw yesterday.

 

Edible Cell Models

Edible models are a fun way to model the parts of a cell. Here the cytoplasm is represented by blue icing that the organelles are floating on.

 

Cell in a Bag

A cell in a bag is another great way to model a cell. Here the Ziploc bag itself is the cell membrane. The cytoplasm is represented by the water that fills the bag. The organelles (candies) move around in the cytoplasm (water.)
