Name: ____________________________________________ Date: ______________________________ CELL CITY ANALOGY Cell – the basic unit of life. Organelle – is the small specialized structures found inside a cell that perform a specific function. The cell is a fabulous piece of machinery. All tiny intricate parts or organelles work together to make the cell function properly. We can compare cells to real-life structures that enable us to better understand the functioning of the organelles and of the cell as a whole. The figure below shows a city that is a model for a cell. Study the figure and use it to complete the analogy below. A cell is like a city. For example: 1. The cell membrane would be the ____________________________ because ____________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________. 2. The nucleus would be the ________________________________ because ________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________. 3. The endoplasmic reticulum would be the _____________________________________ because __________________________________________________________________________________________. 4. The golgi apparatus would be the _______________________________ because _________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________. 5. The mitochondrion would be the _______________________________ because _________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________. 6. The vacuole would be the _______________________________ because _________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________. 7. The lysosomes would be the _____________________________ because ________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________. 8. The ribosomes would be the _____________________________ because ________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________. 9. The cytoplasm would be the _____________________________ because ________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________. 10. Does the “Cell City” represent a plant cell or an animal cell? Explain your answer.
