Cells R Us! Cell Simile () Project Name: __________________________________ Cell Simile Chart of Organelles My cell is like a: _____________________ Here is an example of comparisons of cell parts to parts of a factory. DO NOT USE THIS ONE!!!!! Factory Job Shipping and Receiving Dept. Cell Organelle Plasma Membrane CEO – Chief Executive Officer Factory Floor Nucleus Assembly Line Rough ER (Endoplasmic Reticulum) Golgi Apparatus Finishing and Packaging Dept. Cytoplasm Power plant Mitochondria Product Storage Vacuole Product Ribosomes Job Cell Organelle Simile Just as the shipping and receiving department controls what enters and leaves a factor, so the plasma membrane regulates what enters and leaves a cell. Just as the CEO directs all operations of the factory, so the nucleus and DNA controls all cell activities and what proteins will be made. Just as the factory floor holds all of the machinery and parts in the factory, so the cytoplasm is the where all the organelles and activity are found in the cell. Just as the assembly line is the place where the workers to their job in the factory, so the ER is the place where the ribosomes do their job of assembling proteins. Just as the finishing and packaging department prepares factory products for shipment, so the Golgi apparatus prepares the proteins for use or export out of the cell. Just as the power plant provides energy for all the activities in the factory, so the mitochondria are the source of the ATP that is used for energy in cell processes. Just as factories need to store products to ship, vacuoles store items such as food, water, wastes, and other chemicals. Just as the factory produces a product that will be sold and used, the ribosomes of the cell produce proteins that will be used to build the items coded for in the DNA sequence.
