Name: _____________ Exploring Cells and Analogies “Life is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you are going to get.” Forest Gump said it best. When Forest Gump compares life and a box of chocolates, he is pointing out the similarities between the surprises in life and surprises in the kinds of chocolate that is packaged inside the box. Other than the surprises that come in both life and chocolates, the two do not have much in common. This comparison of similarity between two normally non-similar things is called an analogy. Analogies are helpful in understanding new topics, and they also show a high level of understanding when compared to an academic topic, such as the CELL! Eukaryotic Cells, Prokaryotic Cells, and Viruses: Answer the following questions using complete sentences. 1. What is larger? A Eukaryotic Cell, a Prokaryotic Cell, or a Virus. 2. What is more complex? A Eukaryotic Cell, a Prokaryotic Cell, or a Virus. 2. Of the three choices (Eukaryotic Cells, Prokaryotic Cells, and Viruses) which one(s) have organelles. In the following box, explain through brainstorming, mind-mapping, idea-dumping, or writing sentences, how your city, school, or factory is different and more complex than Prokaryotic city/school/factory and Viral city/school/factory. Name: _____________ Drawing your conclusions: Draw arrows showing which direction the water should move in each situation. No dots indicates pure water, many dots indicates water with many impurities. Water Tube In each situation, why does water enter the dialysis tube? In the following box, explain how water enters your city, school, or factory. The way you choose water to enter should show your understanding of osmosis, by being analogous to how osmosis brings water into cells. Name: _____________ In the chart below, choose a part of a city, factory, or school that the given cell part is analogous to. Additionally, explain why you believe the two parts are analogous. First, circle what you are comparing the cell to: Part/Characteristic What is it Explanation Of Cell analogous to? Nucleus Cell Membrane Enzymes Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Apparatus Chloroplast Mitochondria Assembly of Macromolecules City Factory School Name: _____________ The Central Dogma: Complete the following sentences: ________ is a molecule that contains information in all living things. In the cell, information (________) is stored in _____________________. Converting the DNA to __________ is a process called _______________. Once ______________ is completed, information is taken outside the _____________ by ___________ to the ________________. Here, the information is converted into “protipups” by a process called ____________. Once created, the ___________ are sent to the __________________ or the post office of the cell where they are modified, packaged, and sent on to do their jobs. Putting it all together: In the following box, explain through brainstorming, mindmapping, idea-dumping, or writing sentences, how information in your city, school, or factory flows from one place to another and how it is analogous to how information flows in the central dogma.
