    Of course we are made of cells, every living thing is made of cells, animals to plants. Cytoplasm reminds me of the word ectoplasm... Weird how is that was the first thing that came to mind. I tried explaining to my sister that we are made of cells... She thinks we are all skin and bones. She will learn one day, until then, I eill show here these videos.

      Ah yes! Ecoplasm - the slime of Ghostbusters! The word part "cyto" means "cell" and plasm means "something formed or moulded" - it usually refers to liquidy matter. (Notice how close it is to plasma which is the watery part in your blood)

      Ecto means "outside - or external"

      You and your sister are both right; we are made of skin and bones (and muscles and organs) - but all of those tissues are made of cells!

    Good question! Facts like that should always be backed up with a reference. You should check the brainpop website and see if they have references.
