CELL THEORY: Look at the cell theory on page 476 of your
book and record each of the step of cell theory below. This is
going to be on your final.
You are going to be creating an animal cell. We will only have
one class period to complete this project, so it is very
important that we complete this lab sheet ahead of time!
Then, we will be all ready to go!!
WORD BANK: This word bank may be used for the fill-in the
blanks questions. Use your book to fill in the answers for how
each serves the cell.
-SPRINKLES, RETICULUM, ENDOPLASMIC, PRODUCE
PROTEINS
-CYTOPLASM, JELLO-LIKE SUBSTANCE THAT
CONTAINS MANY CHEMICALS NEEDED BY THE CELL
-CELL, CELL, CELL
-BEANS, VACOULES, STORES FOOD AND OTHER
MATERIALS IN THE CELL
-CELL, TWIZZLERS ROPES, HOLDS THE CELL
TOGETHER
-RED
-GUMMY LIFE SAVER, NUCLEUS, HOLDS ALL THE
HEREDITARY MATERIAL FOR THE CELL AND
CONTROLS MOST OF THE CELL’S ACTIVITES
-MINI PEANUT BUTTER CUP, DISTRIBUTE PROTEINS
AND OTHER MATERIALS THROUGHOUT THE CELL
-ROLL-UP, ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, IT CARRIES
PROTEINS AND OTHER MATERIALS FROM ONE PART
OF THE CELL TO ANOTHER
-ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, ROUGH
-BREAK DOWN FOOD AND RECYCLE OLD CELL PARTS
1. Use a large sugar cookie to represent the animal _____.
An animal _____ is different from a plant ____ because it does
not have chloroplasts.
2. The sugar cookie has white frosting on it to represent the
_________. How does this help the cell?
______________________________________________.
3. The first step to making your animal ___ is to place two long,
thin, green, _________ _________ around the outside edge of
the cookie where the frosting ends to represent the cell
membrane. This helps the cell because
_____________________________________________________________
__________________________________.
4. The second step is to place a large circular shaped _____
____ _____ in the center of the cell to represent the _____.
Squeeze a gobstopper (jawbreaker) into the hole of the
nucleus to represent the nucleolus. What does the nucleus do
for the cell? ______________________________________________.
5. The third step is to place half of an accordion-shaped fruit
___ __to the left of the nucleus. This is used to represent the
smooth ___________ _________. This helps the cell because
_____________________________________________________________
__________________________________.
6. The fourth step is to take a piece of twizzlers candy and
place it to the left of the smooth _______ _______. This
represents the _____ endoplasmic reticulum.
7. The fifth step is to place a ____ _____ _____ _____ to the
right of the nucleus RIDGES SIDE UP! It represents the
Golgi bodies. The Golgi bodies
_____________________________________________________________
__________________________________.
8. The sixth step is to place 3 skittles at random anywhere on
the cell. The skittles represent lysosomes. Lysosomes are
important to the cell because they
______________________________________________.
9. The seventh step is to place one ___ hot above the Golgi
body to represent the centrosome.
10. The eighth step is to put 5 jelly ____ in any empty space on
the cell. These represent the cell ________. They serve an
important purpose for the cell because they
______________________________________________.
11. The ninth step is to “sprinkle” the candy ______ over the
smooth endoplasmic _______ and rough _________ reticulum.
The sprinkles are used to represent ribosomes. Although
small, the ribosomes are very important to the cell because
they ________________________________________.
12. Finally, draw a picture of your creation in the space below.
(Do NOT eat your project until I have seen it and taken a
picture!!)
