Download A cell is like a car..

By: Julia Aldridge
Nucleus
 A nucleus is like the driver of the car. It controls the
car, just like a nucleus controls a cell. The nucleus is
the control center of a cell.
Cell membrane
 The cell membrane controls what goes in and out. Just
like the doors on a car controls who or what enters and
exits the car.
Cell wall (plant)
 The cell wall is for protection, structure, and support.
This is like the frame of a car. If the car had no frame
there would be no support to drive it.
Endoplasmic reticulum
 These are passages for proteins to move through. This
is like the fuel line of a car. The fuel line carries gas
from the fuel line to the gas tank, like an endoplasmic
reticulum carries proteins .
Golgi Apparatus
 This packages and ships proteins. This part of the cell
is like a carburetor because the carburetor puts gas in
the engine just like a Golgi apparatus ships proteins.
Mitochondrion
 The mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the cell. It
produces energy, which is like a car battery, because
the battery gives the car energy to start up.
Vacuole
 This stores food, water, and waste. This Vacuole is like
a gas tank because the gas tank stores the gas for a car
which makes it run, like the vacuole stores the cells
necessities.
Ribosome
 A ribosome produces protein. This is like the engine,
because the engine produces the force to move the car,
like the ribosome makes the proteins to force the cell
to work.

an animal cell..
