Question 5

You make a model of a cell in a large, rectangular, clear, plastic container filled with the
following: gelatin; green M&Ms™; red licorice; several beans; one large, inflated balloon; candy sprinkles; and an avocado seed.
If the M&Ms™ in the cell model above represent mitochondria, how could the model be improved to demonstrate the function of mitochondria?

Accepted Answer

Replace the M&Ms™ with lights to demonstrate that mitochondria provides usable energy to the cell.

Answer

Replace the M&Ms™ with a remote control to demonstrate that mitochondria controls cellular functions.

Answer

Replace the M&Ms™ with harder candy to demonstrate that mitochondria provide structure to the cell.

Answer

Do not replace the M&Ms™ because they demonstrate that mitochondria provide food for the cell.
