Download Cell analogy of the ocean - NylandBiology2012-2013

In both plant and animal cells
(eukaryotes)
 Analogous part- the surface
 The cell membrane separates the cell
from the outside environment like how
the surface separates the water from the
rest of the world.

Is located in all eukaryote cells
 Analogous part- the water column
 the cytoplasm is the internal volume of
the cell within the membrane is like the
water column which is the internal
volume of the surface.

In all eukaryote cells.
 Analogous part- Apex predator(great
white shark)
 The nucleus controls the cell and and its
functions while the apex predator
controls the seven seas

Located in eukaryote cells
 Analogous part- currents
 Moving/ transporting materials and
substances is the main job of the
endoplasmic reticulum much like the
currents that move the water.
 East Australian current

Located in both plant and animal cells
 Analogous part- sea creatures
 the sea creatures mate and produce
protein which is the function of the
ribosomes(make protein)

Located in both plant and animal cells
 Analogous part- the brain of the apex
predator
 The nucleolus is the center of the nucleus
like the brain is the center of the
predator.

In all eukaryote cells
 Analogous part- sun/ plankton
 the sun sends energy to the plankton
which is th basis of the ocean food chain

In both plant and animal cells
 Analogous part- thermocline
 The thermocline separates warm water
from cold water like how the Golgi body
separates substances.

In both plant and animal cells
 Analogous part- Reef
 The vacuoles job is to store items a reef
stores many living things.
