What food looks like a mitochondria?
jelly beans
We chose jelly beans to represent the mitochondria. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell.

What candy looks like chloroplast?

What looks like a Golgi apparatus?
The Golgi apparatus (GA), also called Golgi body or Golgi complex and found universally in both plant and animal cells, is typically comprised of a series of five to eight cup-shaped, membrane-covered sacs called cisternae that look something like a stack of deflated balloons.
What candy looks like a Golgi?
Sour gummy worms = Golgi apparatus. Candy disc sprinkles = ribosomes.
Is coffee good for mitochondria?
Caffeine from four cups of coffee protects the heart with the help of mitochondria. Summary: A new study shows that a caffeine concentration equivalent to four cups of coffee promotes the movement of a regulatory protein into mitochondria, enhancing their function and protecting cardiovascular cells from damage.
What can damage mitochondria?
Overproduction of ROS can lead to mitochondrial damage, including mutations in mitochondrial DNA, damage to the mitochondrial respiratory chain and mitochondrial membrane permeability, and disruption to Ca2+ homeostasis.

What does ribosomes look like?
A ribosome itself looks like a little hamburger bun. It’s made of two subunits: a big one (the top bun) and a small one (the bottom bun). Eukaryotic ribosomes are found floating freely in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER or rough ER for short).
