You could use cardboard and just draw and colour the organelles...

..but it would get soaked because im using vegetable oil for the cytoplasm in a resealable plastic bag

anonymous · Answer

hmm ah so perhaps plasticine will do?

its night i cant go to the shops nearly midnight

anonymous · Answer

Oh. Perhaps chia seeds will have to do. Just use a marker do draw something on it

anonymous · Answer

should i put it in a cup of water to soak so it gets this jelly stuff around it ans then strain before i put it in the vege oil?

anonymous · Answer

But wait. If you're using chia seeds for mito, then what are you going to use for ribosomes? Something larger will be better in this case.
Yes, I think you should soak it.

anonymous · Answer

ohk, about ribosomes since im in year 7, my teacher hasnt actually explained about the other parts of the cell yet, just the main parts. we're not really doing much on cells. i don't know about ribosomes ans stuff.
