Cell analogies booklet Amanda Nyuma P.d 3 Biology Plant cell Illustration Animal cell Golgi body The Golgi Body Modifies, Sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage in the cell. This is an analogy to a shipping company which packages and sort things out to different parts of an area/town. Cell membrane The cell membrane Regulates materials entering and leaving the cell; It protects outside the cell and supports it. This represents the gate because a gate controls what comes in and out of a community and also protects a community to an extent. Nucleolus The nucleolus is like a chef because it makes RNA within the nucleus and it is a reservoir for RNA.The chef is like the nucleolus makes food for people within a restaurant. Nucleus The Nucleus is like the brain because it controls the activities of the cell and similar to how the brain controls the human body. Rough ER Rough ER would be like a highway because it is a pathway for lipids and other materials to move through similar to the highway, which helps controls, which way cars go on the highway. Smooth ER Smooth ER is an analogy to a cafeteria because it produces lipids and proteins to distribute to the cell similar to how a cafeteria produces food for people. Ribosomes Ribosomes are like Factory workers Ribosome’s are able to interpret messages (RNA) from the nucleus about what to build. This is an analogy to factory workers because they are being told from the owner of the company what to make. Cytoplasm Cytoplasm is like fruit Jell-O because it holds many organelles important for cell life. Fruit Jell-O is like Cytoplasm because it holds the fruits in place till they get in our mouth. Vacuole The vacuole is like a pantry. This is because it stores things in the cell like salts, proteins, and carbs. A pantry is like a vacuole because it stores things like food till further use. Cell wall A cell wall is like a house because it shapes, supports, and protects the cell as a house protects and shelters a family living in it. Chloroplast Chloroplast is like a McDonalds drive through because it uses sunlight to make food possible for plant life. A drive through is like chloroplast because it uses food from different places to give/and produce food to different peoples. Mitochondrion Mitochondrion is like a power plant because it produces energy for the cell to use, the power plant is like the mitochondrion because it produces energy for humans. Flagellum The Flagellum moves the cell around so it is like a boat captain. The boat captain is like the flagellum because it moves the boat around. Cilia The cilia are like a person driving a small car because it moves the cell around with its very small hairs. A person driving in the car is like the cilia because it controls where the car is going and moves it. Lysosome The lysome is like the small intestine because it breaks down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins into small molecules for the rest of the cell to use. The small intestines break down food in our body that we need making it similar to the Lysosome. Cytoskeleton Cytoskeleton is like the skeletal system of the human body because it maintains the shape of the cell. The skeletal system is like cytoskeleton because it helps the body maintain its shape. Also both protect the cell/body.
