am making a model of a plant cell using gelatin and adding food items for the organelles. does anybody know what i could use for the chloroplasts? i tried using "Mike and Ike" candy and jolly ranchers but they didn't work. One kind of like melted in the refrigerator for some reason and for some reason you couldn't see the jolly ranchers. does anybody what would be good for chloroplasts? it has to be green. please give me some ideas. thank you! if i use tic tacs, will anything happen to it? and would the size be ok? i used kidney beans for the mitochondria and lima beans for the lysosomes and millet(small yellow grain) for the ribosomes so i don't know if tic tacs are too small. it sort of has to be oval shaped.please help me, i am desperate. i thought about it a long time. anyone?

DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PUT MARSHMALLOWS INTO GELATIN? WILL IT WORK? WILL IT MELT? WILL IT JUST FLOAT AND YOU CAN'T MAKE IT GO DOWN? BECAUSE I NEED IT TO GO DOWN.

I'm doing a project with organelles, too. if you put marshmallows in jell-o it will float,but i don't know how to make it go down, really sorry, though

I don't know what it is you are building there but think about another substance (not necessarily food) and use green food dye. Glued and dyed toothpicks or popcicle sticks or something on that vein. You'll come up with something...just "think outside the box" as the saying goes.

Use a different kind of bean.
