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!
