3D Cell Model Project( Tyrane) - Writing is Thinking



1. What kind of cell did you make and what are three distinguishing characteristics(cell parts, shape, etc) that made your cell different from the other types of cells? Make sure that you include the functions of the cell parts that you mention for full credit.

1A. I did a plant cell. It is square, it has a cell wall- a structural layer that surrounds some types of cells also outsided the cell membrane, and a large central vacuole- a large container that holds waste. 

2.   All cells have three major jobs that are needed in order to sustain homeostasis.  What are theses three basic functions?

2A. To reproduce, make proteins, and make energy. 

3.  What is a stem cell and where do stem cells come from?
3A. 

4.  What are some potential uses of stem cells?
4A.

Biology Cell Cake (Dajhauna and Charles)

My Partner and I did a Plant Cell.
1.  A Plant Cell has a cell wall, chloroplast and a large vacuole and an Animal Cell does not. A Cell Wall acts as a stiff wall surrounding the cell membrane, chloroplast captures energy and the large vacuole is a storage area for water.
2.Three Major jobs of a cell are to make protein, make energy and make more cells.
3. A stem cell is a cell of multicellular organisms that are capable of giving rise to identify more cells of the same type.
4. Stem Cells are used to differentiate into specific cell types and are a source of replacement cell and tissue to treat disease.
