3D MODEL OF AN ANIMAL CELL (which food i should use to decorate my model/cake)?
In my science class, we are suppose to make a 3-D model of a plant or animal cell. I chose to make a animal cell. But I decided I should make it out of cake. I want to decorate it with candy and things but I have NO IDEA what to decorate it with! What can I make the following things out of candy:
Mitochondria
Ribosome
Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R)
Golgi
Nuclear Membrane
Nucleolus
DNA (I was thinking of putting the Nuclear Membrane on top of the cake (Reeses chocolate & PB can be it) and on top put the nucleolus and DNA.)
Vacuole
CILIA (I want to put it on the side of the cake, but please dont say pretzel sticks because I don’t want to copy this other girl who did that)
Lysosome
Flagella (maybe making it out of the frosting or…??)
THANKS SO MUCH<3

A few ideas :
spaghetti or gummy worms – micro-tubules
a walnut or cabbage (in cross-section) – endoplasmic reticulum
a cashewnut – lysosome, etc.
Cooked pasta/spaghetti – ER
mini marshmallows – Ribosomes
marshmallows – nucleolus
whole grains [cooked kidney beans, etc] – for Golgi bodies, etc.
Scooped out marshmallows or some such fruit, etc. For vacuoles.
Here are a few general categories of foods you could look at closely & choose as an organelle [if you want the cake to be completely edible, cook the raw foods like grains & pasta before placing on cake] :
* seeds & whole spices
* breakfast cereals
* food grains & cereals & pulses
* biscuits, cookies
* candies
* pasta – so many shapes & colors!
* dry fruiits & nuts
* cheeses
* fresh fruits, veggies
You can use these whole, sliced, diced, turned, shaped/sculpted into the right shape, etc.
You can’t have Both cilia And Flagella on the same cell, can you? Anyways, you could use those long candy sticks or cooked pasta dipped in some strong starchy/sugar syrup solution to make them stiff or chocolate batons.
You can use frosting in diff colors to use as membranes such as nuclear membrane, etc.
Also use diff food colorings to give you an easily differentiated cell & organelles therein.
For Nucleus, I would suggest scooping out the center of the cake to make a kind of depression [trying to show the cell in cross-section] ; cover with colored frosting layer for NM, fill with jello within which you can place the DNA & Nucleolus.
Hope these help
Have fun

Im doing a History day Project on Rosalind Franklin (she discovered the DNA structure NOT watson and crick ) and i am doing a website and i need to have two more sections:
Effect in the 1950′s when it was discovered.
Effect it is TODAY!
I know it sounds dumb to ask about TODAY but i need General Ideas how it has changed life in science and why we need
THANKS! I NEED ANSWERS ASAP!!! IT”S DUE THE 10 of march!!!

During the time of Franklin not much was known about the structure of the DNA and as a result how the function was linked to the structure. Rosalind Franklin discovery involved an X-ray photograph of B-DNA which revealed the double helical structure of the DNA. This discovery elucidated what the DNA molecule looked like and how it performed its amazing heridatery function. There after more work was done to understand the working of the DNA molecule.

Betty asks…
i understand that with cytosine and guanine it has 3 hydrogen bonds and adenine and thymine have 2 but i need a way to physically represent that one has 2 bonds and the other has 3 with a 3d dna model. any ideas?

Draw your thymine and adenine and draw 3 dotted lines in between them, each line represents a bond. That’s how it was drawn in my biology book
”
type in “dna structure” on google to see what I’m trying to say here :p

I am in Biology 11 (no clue why I took it.. I absolutely hate biology), could someone please help!
I have to create a 3D model and label a DNA strand,
this is like something I am building …

If someone can help me label this DNA strand, thanks !

Each ball is a base, either A C T or G and they connect in pairs – A and T C and G
The structure is called a double helix. Hope that helped
