Carrie made a gelatin fruit salad for her class picnic. She mixed orange gelatin and a can of fruit together and placed the mixture in the refrigerator overnight. When she pulled the mixture out in the morning, the gelatin had solidified with the fruit suspended in it.

Which cell organelle is best represented by the gelatin?


the vacuole


the nucleolus


the cytoplasm


the endosplasmic reticulum

Respuesta :

The answer is; cytoplasm


The gelatin, though solidifies, is fluid and this represents the thickness of the cytoplasm that is gel-like. The fruits suspended in the gelatin represent the colloidal nature of the gelatin. The fruits represent the organelles.
