There is a special way of cells multiplying and regrouping. It makes more cells by splitting the it apart, and this unusual technique is called mitosis.
        Mitosis has 4 stages: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telephase. Throughout most of its life, a cell goes through a stage called interphase, where it stays still and does its work. This usually lasts for a certain amount of time. When the cell knows its time is ready, then the cell starts its first stage: Prophase.
        Prophase is when the cell membrane slowly starts to divide. During this stage, the cell prepares itself to divide in two. Then, after the membrane shrivels up, the cell goes into a new stage called Metaphase. Metaphase is when the cell slowly divides itself, and when this happens, copies of the cell's DNA called chromatids, start to form. By the time it's done, the cell has entered the third stage called Anaphase. Anaphase is when the chromatids slowly drift apart, and during this action, the two separated cells should be facing each other.When the chromatids have officially broke apart, the official two cells, also called daughter calls, are split. If the cell is a plant cell, then a cell plate divides them in two, and if the cell is an animal cell, then the cells slowly seperate itself, making two new cells in whole.

       So today's topic is about my edible cells project. The science teachers wanted to know if we learned anything today about the cells and its cell parts. In fact, I learned a few things and I would like to show. 
        First, I learned about the mitochondrion. It's the powerhouse of the cell, and breaks down food to release energy. Ribosomes are cell parts that make proteins, and they can be found stuck on the endoplasmic reticulum. Speaking of endoplasmic reticulum, they are long, wind-like tunnels that go through out the cell. The nucleus is the "brain" of the system, and controls what the cell parts do. Around the nucleus, is the nucleolus and the nuclear membrane. I also learned that vacuole stores food, waste, water, and enzymes.
        So you see, this project wasn't just for nothing. It made me learn more about the cell system and what the cell parts do to function the cell properly. There are many more cell parts that I would like to tell you, but there's no time. Hopefully the new 7th graders will have a chance to also experience the edible cell project!
