The Invisible Universe’s
Cell Top Model
(Cell Model, that is)
One of the Most Popular reality TV shows in The Invisible Universe is Cell Top
Model. This show develops the Top Cell Models in the Plant Kingdom and in the
Animal Kingdom. Eukaryote Cells come from all over to compete and win one of the
Modeling Contracts. Only the best looking Plant and Animal Cells can compete and the
competition is FIERCE.
The problem is Prokaryote Cells are left out of the competition! That is soooo not fair!
Due to a landmark discrimination court case, Prokaryote Cells may compete this year
in one of the existing shows. They can choose either the Plant cell competition or
the Animal cell competition to compete in while the coordinators get ready to
produce the Bacteria Cell Top Model show next season.
You are a Modeling Agent and you are getting your best clients ready to submit their
application to compete. You will need the following:
• A HEADSHOT – a labeled Sketch of your chosen Bacteria/Prokaryote cell
• An APPLICATION to compete – This will give details about your cell that will
convince the committee to choose your cell for the finals 12 contestants. It
includes:
o The features of your cell and the functions of these features,
o Qualifications to compete (proof of life processes – MRS. NERG)
o Background information
o Work experience
o A Venn Diagram comparing your cell and the other contestants
o A written statement to the committee about why they should be chosen
above their opponents
Task: Choose a bacteria cell to represent, research the background, draw a picture and label it,
complete the application and Venn Diagram, write a statement for your cell about whether it should
be chosen to compete.

Which show do you feel this cell is best qualified to participate in? (circle one)
Animal Top Cell Model
Plant Top Cell Model
NAME: ________________________________
Complete the Venn Diagram to justify your choice.
NAME: ________________________________
Write an explanation of your Venn Diagram detailing why you chose plant or
animal to compare your model to.
Make sure you summarize the similarities and differences between the model
and a plant or animal cell.
Finally include a persuasive statement about why your cell should be chosen to
be a finalist on the show.

Chose a model: Use the Internet to explore the kinds of prokaryotes and choose one
you are interested in studying. Wikipedia is acceptable for this kind of general search.
You may choose any prokaryote for your cell model. Below are some popular ones
that cause human diseases.
v Many cell model diagrams you find on the Internet contain more complex
structures than we studied. You only need to label what you learned in our unit.
v Also, if you cannot find an actual picture or diagram of your chosen prokaryote,
just find out what shape it is and look for a generalized diagram of that shape of
bacteria.
v Use Google Images to help you locate a diagram to sketch.
