When told that we can get creative with our interpretation of the cell, I thought of objects that were round like the Earth for example.

Then I thought of the Pokeball in Pokemon. I looked for a picture of an opened pokeball on the internet and copied it. Then, I colored the inside (cytoplasm) with blue.

The nucleolus is round or spherical in shape. However, in the drawing, I used Pikachu’s silhouette as the nucleolus. In my attempt to follow the Pokemon theme, I also made the endoplasmic reticulum shaped like lightning (But it looked like pizza. Hahaha).

The other organelles were shaped similar to other illustrations found on the internet.

The cell is the basic building block of life. These cells form tissues. Tissues form into organs. And these organs form the body systems that coordinate with one another to keep the body functioning normally.

The cells provide the body with structure. Moreover, they take in nutrients, convert those nutrients into energy like ATP, and carry out specialized functions.

Cells have organelles which help them in performing these functions.

Ribosomes (small organge-colored objects in the drawing), for example, produce protein which provides structure for the body.

Another example is the mitochondrion (green-colored object in the drawing). Mitochondria are the organelles that generate most of the chemical energy (ATP) needed to power biochemical reactions of the cell.
