In Class Body Analogy Project
SOCES
Objective: To understand the cell organelles and their function in a cell.
Standards: Cell Biology: 1. Life depends on many chemical reactions that happen in specific parts of cells called Organelles
CB1a: cells have a semi-permeable (cell) membrane that controls what goes in and out of a cell.
CB1c: the difference between Prokaryotes, Eukaryotes (including plants and animals), and Virus cells in how they are made up.
CB1d: the main idea (Central Dogma) of molecular biology shows how information moves from DNA to RNA during Transcription,
and Translates into proteins on ribosomes in the cytoplasm.
CB1e: how endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi bodies (apparatus) help move proteins.
CB1f: sunlight (energy) and carbon dioxide are turned into sugar by chloroplasts during photosynthesis.
CB1g: mitochondria break down sugar (glucose) into carbon dioxide and usable energy (ATP) during cellular (aerobic) respiration.
Make sure all (4) group member names are on top of the paper. Hand in to me at the
appropriate time.
Directions: You are Ferris Bueler. You love bodies, but you are not so into Biology. In
order to understand the cell, you will compare it to something you understand, describing all
parts of your example, the organelle they represent and what their job/function is in the “cell,”
REMEMBER, Include 1) Cell organelle and 2) FUNCTION, 3) Body organ and 4)
function/structure
.
For example, of the cell were a body
Organelle
Function
like Organ
Function
The Nucleus controls the cell like the brain controls the body.
You CANNOT use the same organ more than once.
Criteria:
 All 12 animal cell organelles included, with function defined
 Comparisons to organs appropriate
 Function/structuere of organ included
 Poster complete
Scoring:
All possible organelles included
All parts compared to cell organelle
All organelles labeled with jobs
All organs labeled with jobs

Ex 12 organelles +2 EC
Ex, Brain is Nucleus
Ex. Controls the cell
Ex, Holds instructions
For example, if the cell were a body:
 The Nucleus controls the cell like the brain tells the body what to do
 The DNA has specific instructions like the nerves carry specific instructions
 The RNA are messengers like hormones carry messages in the body
 The Ribosome makes proteins like the muscles recruit more muscles (protein)
 The Cytoplasm creates space between organelles and store raw materials like blood fills in the spaces
and carries the raw material to all parts of the cell
 The Cell membrane controls what goes in and out of the cell like the skin protects and controls what
goes in and out
 The Nucleolus makes ribosomes like the hypothalamus produces the most hormones
 Endoplasmic reticulum (smooth) makes lipids like the liver makes fat
 The Golgi body ships out material like the large intestines make material ready to leave the body
 The Vacuole stores materials like love handles stores the extra fat
 The Lysosome breaks down materials like the small intestine digests most food
 The Cytoskeleton gives structure support and movement like the skeleton supports and helps move
 The Centrioles control cell reproduction like the ovaries/testes control human reproduction
 The Mitochondria convert sugar into usable energy like cells change food into energy.
 The Cell Wall gives structure like ligaments give structure to the skeleton
 The Chloroplast turns sunlight into energy like cholesterol which used sunlight to make vitamin D in
our skin
