1. The cell is like a car

2. Ribosome Synthesize proteins from amino acids that are later transported to the rough ER. like the fuel pump in your car if the tank is the amino acid the gas is the protein

3. Rough endoplasmic reticulum Transport network for ribosome's and it receives proteins from ribosome Like the fuel lines for your car it moves gas to engine

4. Golgi apparatus Acts as distribution center it distributes and stores proteins from ER. Like carburetor or fuel injection it moves gas into the engine

5. Plasma membrane The semi permeable wall separates outside from inside Like an air filter it separates and filters

6. Chromosomes a DNA packed protein that is found in the nucleus. It contains all of the cells information. Like a VIN number it contains all the information about the vehicle and is found in the engine compartment.

7. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum Helps break down and synthesizes lipids also helps detoxify chemicals such as alcohol. Like the fuel filter it helps filter gasoline and move it to engine

8. nucleus Center of the cell that contains all the genetic information Like the owners manual it contains all the information about the car

9. nucleolus Center of the nucleus were rDNA is synthesized from instructions in DNA Like one page of the owners manual the instructions to get to this page are in the maunel

10. vesicle Tiny sacs that help transport proteins in and out of cell Like exhaust pipe it helps transport exhaust of engine and away from the vehicle

11. Lyosomes Digest materials and help recycle nutrients and proteins within the cell. Like engine oil it helps break down dirt in engine and recycles throughout engine

12. chloroplast Organelles in plant cells only that perform photosynthesis Like a solar car it converts suns energy into usable energy for the car

13. mitochondria “power house of the cell” It makes usable energy for the cell to do work Like pistons they take energy from combustion and turn it into work

14. cytoskeletion Series of tube shapes in the cytoplasm that gives cell its rigid shape Like the frame of a car it gives the vehicle its shape and stucture.

15. cytosol Within cell membrane and holds organelles in place in the cytoplasm Like the bolts that holds all the components inside a car in plac e
