what should i use to make a 3D animal cell?

Question

what should i use for the cell membrane? help please

what do you mean about using a plactic bag?

what do i use to make the nucleus

Answer 1

If your goal is to demonstrate osmosis through a simulated cell wall, you could use Visking Tubing. This is also known as dialysis tubing, and can be found through medical supply centers, hospitals, dialysis centers, Dr.'s offices, etc.

Answer 2

I remember making such a project in 9th grade. First, you'll want a transparent cell membrane. Some sort of clear plastic wrap works well (saran wrap, or maybe a cut up clear plastic bag). You'll need to use a bit of wire to help it keep it's shape, but that's ok. For all the organelles, just go to your local arts/crafts supply store and look around. You might find some pipe cleaners or paints or styrofoam shapes which you think would help make a good nucleus, or endoplasmic reticulum, or so on. Be creative! Finally, you have to decide how this cell will be displayed. If it will always be at the same angle, you can hang some organelles from the wire you used to keep the cell membrane's shape. If it will be put in different places at different angles, you'll have to use more wire to suspend them in place. If you want to do a half-cell, you can mount this all on a piece of posterboard, with the cell coming out like a hemisphere. Don't forget to label the cell parts! Just put names on slips of paper and glue them in the appropriate places.
Good luck!

Answer 3

I have judged science fairs where they used clear storage bags as the membrane to hold things together. They don't let things pass through, though.

Answer 4

I bought a styrofoam ball at a crafts store and cut it in half and used smaller styrofoam balls as nucleus and nucleolus, then made golgi, and endoplasmic reticulum out of playdough...have fun with it, one person made it out of jello...

Answer 5

Add more details for your question...Its too ambiguous.
