Looking

At Cells Unit:6 Commission.


While the good Dr did his presentation a few weeks back now, there was really only one part in his whole presentation that peeked my interest. The Cell Cycle was them only one to which I could see my self in doing. When I saw his simple pie chart (like the one above) it made it, for me at least, very simple. So simple even a child could understand it. That is where I am going to start.

This is another graph that has a bit more info, a bit more science that could help me in the future.

Here are some more images focusing the cell growth it self. They both show the process very clearly. Show the main process is inside the cell and is not visible on the out side until it reaches the end and it begins to divide.

Both images show the same information, but I am also looking at how both images have portrayed the cells them selves. They both are quite round and bubble like in shape. -Perhaps bubble sound effects and underwater sounds would go well with these? Also it shows that the main process is inside the cell it self until it divides. - Maybe have it transparent in places? - However, they are still very simple, thus, should be able to use this kind of portrayal of the cell to inform children.

So looking back at the cycle as a hole. It is evident through the good Drs presentation and any other cell cycle graph that, it is fundamentality build up on a red light green light system. Green light to divide, red light to be decommissioned. In other worlds a traffic light system. Thinking on this I can imagine a city of cells in ones own body. Roads filled with traffic all waiting for their turn, like clockwork. The working cells, or the working man doing there shifts one at a time until being retired. The congestion of cells that go on and on. I can imaging traffic lights (or the relevant of) floating in the body, controlling the traffic of cells. Each of these three portray this system of an hourly like shift at work. This could be my way into the body and the cell cycle.
