CELL COMPARISON & CONTRAST Created by: Melinda Vue Plasma Membrane Function: Plasma membrane allows transportation of substances in and out of the cell. Location: It is the a layer between the outside environment and inside environment of the cell. Compare: The gate is the cell membrane a layer between the house (inside of the cell) and the outside property (outside of the cell). Contrast: However the gate can’t really control the what goes in and out, like the membrane, because it can’t secure the house perfectly. As an example, people can climb over it, but in the plasma membrane nothing can enter or leave unless it allows it to. Nucleus Function: The nucleus is the control center of the cell and has instructions of DNA, RNA, and to make proteins. Location: It is located in the middle of the cell’s cytoplasm, but not always in the middle of the cell. Compare: The main office is the control center of the school. The main office is the nucleus while the school is the cell outside of the nucleus. Contrast: The main office contains information for every student where as the nucleus only contains your instructions of DNA, RNA, and works only for you not others. Ribosomes Function: Ribosomes synthesis proteins, to help support the cell’s functions. Location: Ribosomes are located in the E-R or floating in the cytosol. Compare: The chef cooks food for the customers when they need food so they can have energy to live on and do their work. The ribosomes make proteins when needed so it help the cell function. Contrast: The chef must stay in the kitchen to be able to cook the food, but the ribosomes are able to synthesis proteins in the E-R or floating in the cytosol. Cytoplasm Function: Cytoplasm is the liquidly solution in a cell with different dissolved molecules. Compare: The tea fluid is like the cytoplasm, while the cup is the cell membrane. Location: It is inside of the cell after the cell layer called the, “cell membrane.” Contrast: However the tea fluid doesn’t have other dissolved molecules other than the tea itself, while the cytoplasm has different dissolved molecules. Mitochondria Function: The mitochondria is the storage of the cell’s energy. Compare: This jar is like the mitochondria that contains sugar (which is the energy). Location: The mitochondria is located in the cell’s cytoplasm. Contrast: However the cell doesn’t always rely on ATP energy, however it can do passive transport besides ATP. Chloroplasts: Function: Chloroplasts(only found in plant cell) does photosynthesis by turning sunlight energy into sugar to food for the plant cell to use. Location: The chloroplast is in the cell’s cytoplasm. Compare: The water filter converts unclean water to clean. The chloroplasts converts light into sugar while the water filter converts dirty water to clean water. Contrast: The water filter doesn’t use energy to convert dirty water to clean water while the chloroplast needs sun light to convert. Cell Wall Function: The cell wall (only found in plant cell) is the outside rigid layer that protects the plant cell and gives the plant cell it’s shape. Compare: The chocolate brown cake layer is like the cell wall protecting the white cheese cream between it. Location: It is the cell layer after the cell membrane; the outside layer of the cell. Contrast: The cell wall is rigid but the chocolate cake is not rigid. Rough E-R Function: The rough endoplasmic reticulum does protein synthesis and packages it. Compare: The packer person packages the boxes like the same task the rough endoplasmic reticulum does too. Location: It is located next to the nucleus. Contrast: However the packer person didn’t create the objects in the box, their only duty was to pack it. Smooth ER Function: The smooth endoplasmic reticulum creates and stores lipids and steroids. Location: It is connected to the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Compare: The food container is like the smooth endoplasmic reticulum that works like a storage. Contrast: The difference is that the container storing the food cant create the food. Golgi Function: The Golgi is a packaging, storage, and shipper of the substances/molecules it created. Location: It is located in the cell’s cytoplasm close to the nucleus. Compare: The mailman ships/delivers mails, while the Golgi ships out substances to where they need to be. Contrast: The mailman doesn’t make the mails he delivers into something different, where as the Golgi can make the substances more complex. Vacuoles/Vesicles Function: The vacuole stores waste and food. Vesicles are small membranes sacks that can store and transport substances. Compare: The plastic bag can store anything and contain anything that can fit in it just like the vacuoles and vesicles. Location: They are located inside of the cell. Contrast: However it can not transport the items inside it like the vesicles. Large Central Vacuole Function: The large central vacuole is the largest vacuole in plant cells and stores food and waste(it very watery inside of it). Compare: The pencil pouch stores the writing utensils you need to use, just like how the large central vacuole stores food it needs. Location: It is located in the middle of the plant cell. Contrast: However the pencil pouch can not store waste like the large central vacuole. Lysosomes Function: Lysosomes has enzymes that digests food and break down (recycles) things like the cell when it dies. Location: The lysosomes float in the cytoplasm until they are needed, then they go there. Compare: The stomach digests food just like the lysosomes. Contrast: The difference is that lysosomes can float around the cytoplasm, but the stomach around can’t float in our body. Centrioles Function: Centrioles (only in animal cells) are nine groups of microtubules (spindle fibers) which supports(takes part in) cell division. Location: It is located in the cell near the nucleus. Compare: The pill dissolving in the cup of water is like the centrioles which are needed to start the cell division. Contrast: The difference is that the centrioles don’t dissolve in cell division. Microtubules Function: Microtubules are thick protein tubes that supports the cytoskeleton and the structure. Location: It is located in the cytoskeleton. Compare: Milk has calcium which helps build strong bones of the body skeleton, just like the microtubules which help support/form the cytoskeleton. Contrast: The difference is that the milk doesn’t make/form the body’s bones like microtubules but the milk helps strengthen it.
