Cell organelle By; Jennifer England

A cell is like a house.

Nucleus While the nucleus is the control center of the cell, people control everything inside the house.

Golgi Apparatus The Golgi apparatus packages/delivers proteins. A mailbox to a house sends and receives mail.

Endoplasmic Reticulum The Endoplasmic Reticulum are passages for proteins to move through the cell. The chimney for the fire place is a passage way for smoke to exit, while heating the house.

Vacuole The vacuole stores food/water/and waste. Inside of the house is where food and water is stored.

Cell Membrane The cell membrane regulates what goes in and out of the cell, the front door of a house is where everything comes in and out of the house.

Mitochondrion The mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the cell. Electricity provides energy for the house.

Cell Wall The cell wall protects, supports and gives structure to the cell. The house itself and everything outside of it protects and holds it up.

Ribosome Ribosome's produce protein. A water heater to a house produces hot water.

Comparison of plant and animal cell A plant cell have cell walls and a animal cell doesn't. A plant cell does photosynthesis and cell respiration but the animal cell does cell respiration only. A plant cell has chloroplast and is green the animal cell doesn’t have chloroplasts and is not the color green. A plant cell has one large central vacuole and a animal cell has many small vacuoles. A plant cell is square and a animal cell is any shape.
