Cell/Prison Analogy
By, Timmy Walsh
Cell Membrane/Guards
The Guards are like
the cell membrane in the
way that they control
what goes in and what
comes out of the prison
just like the cell
membrane controls goes
in and out of the cell.
This organelle is found in
both the plant and animal
cell.
Cytoplasm/Prison Yard
The prison yard is
the open space in
which everything is
found similar to the
cytoplasm the liquid
substance surrounding
all of the organelles in
the cell.
This organelle is found in
both the plant and
animal cell.
Nucleus/Warden
The warden
controls the prison,
telling the guards
what to do; similar
to how the nucleus
manages the cell
and tells it what to
do.
This organelle is found
in both the plant
and animal cell.
E.R/Prison Hospital
The prisoners go the
prison hospital to get
better, like the
proteins go through
the E.R. to get
polished up.
This organelle is found
in both the plant and
animal cell.
Ribosomes/Prisoners
The prisoners are
forced to make things
like license plates,
similarly the
ribosomes make
proteins.
This organelle is found
in the animal cell.
Nucleolus/Police Officers
The police officers
arrest the criminals and
put them in prison
making them prisoners,
a similar process takes
place in the nucleolus
only the nucleolus is
making ribosomes
instead of prisoners.
This organelle is found in
both the plant and
animal cell.
Mitochondria/Prison Generator
The prison generator makes electricity
for the prison just like the mitochondrion
make energy for the cell.
This organelle is found in both the plant and
animal cell.
Golgi Body/Cell
The Cell holds a
prisoner like the golgi
body packages the
proteins.
This organelle is found
in both the plant and
animal cell.
Vacuole/Holding Cells
The holding cells hold
the offenders until their
court case where their bail
is set or they’re put in
prison; this is like the
vacuoles temporary
storage of materials inside
the cell.
This organelle is found in
both the plant and animal
cell.
