Name: ___________________________ Date: ____________________________ Cell Analogies Worksheet An analogy is a comparison between two things which are similar in some respects, but otherwise different. Analogies are used to explain something by comparing it point by point with something else. Instructions: Fill in the spaces below for each cell part in order to create a one-sentence analogy that shows the similarity between the function of the cell part and the function of the object you selected to represent the cell part in your project. Be sure to explain the reasoning behind your analogies (see the underlined section of the example). Example Analogy: “The nucleus is like a brain because it controls and coordinates the activities of the whole cell in the same way the brain controls and coordinates the activities of the body.” Remember: This project counts as a test. Your analogies need to be accurate, complete, and original. 1. The plasma membrane is like _________________________ because the plasma membrane _______ _______________________________________________________________________________________ in the same way ________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________. 2. The nucleus is like _________________________ because the nucleus __________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ in the same way ________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________. 3. The cytoskeleton is like _________________________ because the cytoskeleton _________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ in the same way ________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________. 4.
