The Animal Cell

Materials :

-2balls of porexpan

-yellow and blue foam

-white and blue clay

-an egg of porexpan 

-a  black pen

-Blue paint

Instructions

1-First we cut and painted a quarter of the big ball. Then, we pasted some blue foam in the quarter we have previously cut.

2- For making the DNA and the nucleus, we used a second painted ball.

3- We have used red sponges for making the mitochondria and a green porexpan egg for the vacuole.

5- For  making the ribosomes we drew some dots  with a pen .

6- Finally we put some clay in the borders and labeled the different parts of the cell.

MAKING CELLS

                                            

THE PROKARYOTE CELL

Materials used for work

·         Cardboard

·         Colorful clay

·         Plastic cords of different colours

Performed process

First, and using the cardboard as a base, we have represented with white clay the "capsule", which is the outer part of the cell.

Then, with colored cords we have marked the lines that represent the cell wall and the membrane.

With red string and zig-zag shape, we have placed the DNA and finally with clay balls we have represented the ribosomes that are placed in the cytoplasm, just like the DNA.

Definition and function of the prokaryote cell

It is called prokaryotes to cells without a defined cell nucleus, that is, whose genetic material is dispersed in the cytoplasm, assembled in a zone called nucleoid.Being a unicellular and autonomous organism, it is capable of manufacturing the thousands of enzymes it needs for its metabolism. When it consists of a single cell, it must perform the basic functions of a cell and the functions of an organism.
