A cell is like a school…
The nucleus is the like principal because like the
nucleus controls the cell, the principal controls the
school.
The cell membrane is like the front desk because the
front desk regulates what enters and leaves the
building, like the cell membrane regulates what enters
and leaves the cell.
The cell wall is like the school building because it also
protects and supports like the cell wall does.
The endoplasmic reticulum is like a hallway because it
is a passage for students to classrooms like the ER is a
passage for proteins.
The golgi apparatus is like a janitor because they ship
and package the trash outside like the golgi apparatus
does with proteins.
The mitochondrion is like a weight room because we
get stronger and produce energy in the weight room
like the mitochondrion does for the cell.
The vacuole is like a cafeteria because it also stores
water, food, and waste.
The ribosome is like a classroom because we produce
our work in the classroom like proteins are produced
in the ribosome.
Plant Cells
• Contain a cell wall which is the outermost
covering of the cell
• Contain chloroplasts which carry out the
process of photosynthesis and give plants
their green color
• Are usually square
• Contain one large central vacuole
Animal Cells
• Contains a cytoskeleton inside the cell
• Does not contain chloroplasts since animals
do not carry out photosynthesis
• Can be any shape
• Contain many small vacuoles
Plant and Animal Cells
• Perform cell respiration
• They are eukaryotes meaning they have a
nucleus
