How a cell is like a horse show. By: Danielle

Cell membrane or fence around show ring The cell membrane observes what goes in and out of the cell at certain times. A show fence only allows certain horses and their riders in at certain times during certain shows just like a cell membrane watches what goes in and out

Cytoplasm or sand in the show arena Sand is what is inside the arena and keeps everything in place. In barrel racing and pole bending it holds the barrels and poles in place

Lysosomes or owners and helpers Lysosomes clean up and dispose of cell waste. Just like horse owners clean and dispose of horse waste.

Mitochondria or snack booth A mitochondria provides food for the cell. A snack booth in the same way provides food for the exhibitors.

Ribosomes or chef The ribosomes make proteins for the cell. The chef in the same way makes all different food for everyone who is showing or watching.

Endoplasmic reticulum or trailers and walk ways The E.R works as a moving way for all things in the cell that needs transported. Just like trailers bring horses to the shows and the walk ways allow you to go from one way to another.

Golgi body or the ribbon maker A Golgi body packages everything in the cell. A ribbon maker provides awards for the show packages them and brings them to whoever needs them.

Nuclear membrane or judges stand A nuclear membrane keeps everything together for the nucleus. A judges stand holds all the information to help the judge keep everything together and organized.

Nucleus or judge The nucleus runs everything in the cell. The judge keeps everything running and tells all the horses what to do.

Chromosomes or show coordinator The chromosomes hold the DNA for what the cell is going to look like and how big it will be also. The show coordinator holds all the information on what the show is going to be like, how many classes there will be to compete in , and where it will be held.
