cell model

[nikcola]

come on all you arty people

i need to make a model of a cell (well 2 models one bacterial and one animal ???) any ideas as what i could do im racking my brains i was thinking as using jelly for the nucleus(sP) but cant think of anything else

p.s it doesnt have to be food btw!!!

They were bloody enormous, so I'm guessing interphase (cytogenetics not my strong point though)

I don't quite believe that we are having this conversation!

I have to teach the upper sixth form human reproduction tomorrow! Deep Joy!

It is a tad surreal, isn't it?

Sorry nikcola, I'm not helping, am I

no its ok , ive shut my books and will go back to them tomorw after collage go i hate biology

Oh, don;t say that! It is a wonderful subject, honest

i like it i just dont get it and it makes me bloody angry

What are you working towards?

what do you mean what do i want to do ?

im on the access course and i hopefully want to go to uni to do either adult nursing or mental health nursing not sure which on yet,

i need level 3's in all of my biology assignments to pass the course ive already had my first assignmnet refered and done it again only to be refered again so i have to do another assignmnet cause i failed the first one iykwim

If you need help fire away.

I teach GCSE and A level Biology, so if I can help, just let me know.

Have you looked at the BBC bitesize s-cool revision websites? they can be very helpful.

thank you i will look now, i just struggle with consentration (i no that sounds silly) ill let you no what my assignmet is that ive got to do (im the only one in my group that has to re do it )

im going to make my cells tomoorw and make a start on the writen work,

the book i bought (totora and groblaski) i find it very confusing i think i need the dummys guide

Are they pitching it at GCSE, A level, higher? I'm guessing A level. I can recomend some books but will have to do it tomorrow as I am about to crash out.

Post me some details tomorrow and I will do what I can to help.

Night night

ok ill do it tomoorow thanks for all the help xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx its aparently AS level

Hiya - just a quick addition - when I did this last for a project with my Guides, we used one of those yellow plastic capsules from the inside of a Kinder surprise for the nucleus, then put bits of thread inside to represent DNA. You could use a camera film capsule instead, only the packaging doesn't taste as good...

We use the OCR text books in school and they are quite good. They take you through things step by step, have self check questions and summary pages

HTH

i also have to write about osmosis, movemnet across the cell wall??? and the diffrences of the two cells wish me luck im doing it all night tonite and not going to bed untill ive finished xxxxxxxxxx

shit ive made my cells now have to write 100 500 on each and my mind is blank someone help me its driving me mad

Don't panic nikcola Hav a look here and just expand it a bit!

(I'm hoping like mad you don't mean 100500 words on each )

Key pointto make nicola if you have to do osmosis with respect to the plant and animal cells, is that animal cells can explode if they get too much water entering them. In plants the cell wall stops this happening. In fact they need to be full of water to help to keep the plant unright. If they don't have enough water there isn't enough pressure against the cell walls and the plany will wilt.

no 500 on each thank god

thank you everyone for all your help i got a level 3 thnsk god!!!!!!!!

thank you
