Originally i chose show the creation and destruction of a human, Instead i have chosen to show the complete cell cycle before mitosis.

 My aim has been to focus on what happens within the G1, S, and G2 phases (Interphase) . I want to make the cell an environment of its own and show the different components and their behavior, kind of like a tour of the human cell in action.

Interphase

Let’s enter the cell cycle just as a cell forms, by division of its mother cell. What must this newborn cell do next if it wants to go on and divide itself? Preparation for division happens in three steps:

• G$_1$start subscript, 1, end subscript phase. During G$_1$start subscript, 1, end subscript phase, also called the first gap phase, the cell grows physically larger, copies organelles, and makes the molecular building blocks it will need in later steps.
  

  [Do cells always grow before they divide?]
• S phase. In S phase, the cell synthesizes a complete copy of the DNA in its nucleus. It also duplicates a microtubule-organizing structure called the centrosome. The centrosomes help separate DNA during M phase.

• G$_2$start subscript, 2, end subscript phase. During the second gap phase, or G$_2$start subscript, 2, end subscript phase, the cell grows more, makes proteins and organelles, and begins to reorganize its contents in preparation for mitosis. G$_2$start subscript, 2, end subscript phase ends when mitosis begins.

The G$_1$start subscript, 1, end subscript, S, and G$_2$start subscript, 2, end subscript phases together are known as interphase. The prefix inter- means between, reflecting that interphase takes place between one mitotic (M) phase and the next.

Human Cell Structure

Be cause the human cell is so complex I'm only going to focus on the the different cell parts that are involved the Interphase. My aim is to simplify some the shapes of the cells features and use them to create my structure.

CELL COMPONENT	DESCRIPTION/ STRUCTURE	FUNCTION(S)
CELL MEMBRANE	Bilayer of phospholipids with proteins dispersed throughout	cell boundary; selectively permeable (i.e. controls what enters and leaves the cell; membrane transport)
CYTOPLASM	jelly-like fluid (70% water)	suspends organelles in cell
RIBOSOMES	RNA & protein; dispersed throughout cytoplasm or studded on ER	protein synthesis
ROUGH ER	Membranous network studded with ribosomes	protein synthesis
SMOOTH ER	Membranous network lacking ribosomes	lipid & cholesterol synthesis
GOLGI	“Stack of Pancakes”; cisternae	modification, transport, and packaging of proteins
VESICLE	Cylindrical membrane sacs	Storage and transport
MITOCHONDRIA	Kidney shaped organelles whose inner membrane is folded into “cristae”.	Site of Cellular Respiration; “Powerhouse”
LYSOSOMES	Membranous sac of digestive enzymes	destruction of worn cell parts (autolysis) and foreign particles
PEROXISOMES	Membranous sacs filled with oxidase enzymes (catalase)	detoxification of harmful substances (i.e. ethanol, drugs, etc.)
CENTROSOMES	paired cylinders of microtubules at right angles near nucleus	aid in chromosome movement during mitosis
CILIA	short, eyelash extensions; human trachea & fallopian tube	to allow for passage of substances through passageways
FLAGELLA	long, tail-like extension; human sperm	locomotion
MICROVILLI	microscopic ruffling of cell membrane	increase surface area
CYTOSKELETON	Protein strands that makeup cellular frame	Provide shape of cell, locomotion
OTHER STRUCTURES	Accumulations of substances	storage
NUCLEUS	Central control center of cell; bound by lipid bilayer membrane; contains chromatin (loosely coiled DNA and proteins)	controls all cellular activity by directing protein synthesis (i.e. instructing the cell what proteins/enzymes to make).
NUCLEOLUS	dense spherical body(ies) within nucleus; RNA & protein	Ribosome synthesis
CHROMATIN	DNA wrapped in protein forming nucleosomes	Protection of genetic material

Visually I'm taking influence from abstract visualizations and fractal geometrical patterns and movements, a clean matted sci-fi aesthetic with factory like mechanical structures, and also abstract music videos.
