Cell Analogy Chart:
Prompt
You will DRAW OR COPY an animal & plant cell (into two
different files) and find pictures from the Internet, clipart, or
scanned from newspapers/magazines that depict the function
of the cell’s organelles. These pictures should NOT be directly
related to living systems, but should accurately represent the
individual organelle’s FUNCTION within the cell. For
example: a section of a road map showing interconnecting
roads may be analogous to the function of the endoplasmic
reticulum. This is because the endoplasmic reticulum’s ‘job’ in
the cell is to transport packaged materials within the cell or to
the outside of the cell (as stated on page78 of your text).
This means that you will first need to find the functions of
each of the organelles found in each type of cell. These can
be found in your textbook by reading chapter 4 and looking up
the organelles in the glossary of the book. If more than one
function is described, pick the one that appears to be the most
important. You should be able to determine the most
important function if you read the text section carefully.
Pictures representing each of the following organelles will be
included:
2
PLANT CELL
ANIMAL CELL
Cell Wall
Cell Membrane
Ribosomes
Golgi Apparatus
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Mitochondria
Vacuole
Lysosomes
Microfilaments
Nuclear Membrane (Envelope)
Nuclear Pore
Nucleus
Nucleolus
Chromatin
Cytoplasm
Chloroplast
Plasma (Cell) Membrane
Ribosomes
Golgi Apparatus Endoplasmic
Reticulum
Mitochondria
Microfilaments
Spindle Fibers
Vacuoles
Lysosomes
Nuclear Membrane (Envelope)
Nuclear Pore
Nucleus
Chromatin
Cytoplasm
Cilia
Also, create a Word Document which briefly (1 or 2 sentences) explains each
analogy. For example, if you used a section of road map as a symbol for
endoplasmic reticulum, you might say, “The endoplasmic reticulum can be
symbolized with a road map because it provides a path for transporting materials
within and to the outside of the cell.”
You should start the electronic ‘poster’ like that shown below, and then add all
additional organelles contained in the term boxes above:
NUCLEUS
PLANT CELL
This is were you
would paste the
analogy of a
nucleus’
function
