The Cell by: Garrett smith

A Cell is Like a Hotel

Nucleus The Nucleus in a cell is like the manager in a hotel. The manager controls the hotel like the nucleus controls the cell

Cell membrane The cell membrane in the cell is like the security guards in a hotel. The security guards control who goes in and out of a hotel, just like the cell membrane controls what goes in and out of the cell.

Cell Wall The cell wall of a cell is like the building structure of a hotel. The building structure supports the hotel just like the cell wall supports the cell.

Endoplasmic reticulum The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in the cell is like the elevators in a hotel The elevators in a hotel allow the people to travel through the building, just like the ER in a cell allows the proteins to travel through the cell

Golgi apparatus The Golgi apparatus in a cell is like the bell boys in a hotel. The Golgi apparatus ships the proteins off to there destination in the cell, just like the bell boys escort the people to their hotel rooms.

Mitochondrion The mitochondrion in the cell is like generators in the hotel. The mitochondrion in the cell produces energy like the generators in the hotel produce energy.

Vacuole The vacuole in the cell is like the storage room in a hotel. The vacuole stores food and waste just like the storage room stores supplies.

The ribosome in the cell is like the hotel rooms in the hotel. The ribosome produces protein like the hotel rooms produce income for the hotel.

Comparison Animal cell Cell membrane Many small vacuoles White, pink and red Don’t have chloroplast Plant Cell Cell wall Have chloroplast One large vacuole Photosynthesis Both are necessary for life Both have similar structure
