1. Cell City Project

2. Cells are like Cities
Cells have different organelles that function just like the different parts of a city
You are going to match the parts of the city to the organelles of a plant cell
Good Luck!!

3. Town Hall Holds all the administrative offices of the city
Tells the city how it is going to function

4. Nucleus Nucleus functions like the Town Hall
Tells the cell what to do just like the town hall tells the city what to do

5. Power Plant
Provides energy for all the people in the city

6. Mitochondria Mitochondria functions like the power plant of the cell
It provides the energy for the cell just like a power plant

7. Garbage Truck/Landfill
Landfills store waste
Garbage Trucks transport or remove waste from houses or business to the landfills

8. Vacuole
Vacuoles store and remove waste from a cell just like a garbage truck and landfill would for a city

9. Road and Highways
Roads and highways are used to transport many things around the city

10. Smooth and Rough ER
Although the Smooth ER makes chemicals, the main goal of the ER is to transport things throughout the cell just like roads

11. US Postal Service The postal service has many responsibilities.
They package items we bring them
They transport letters and packages across town

12. Golgi Body
The Golgi Body packages and transports materials for the cell just like the post office does for our city

13. Grass and Forests
The grass and forests of the city are kind of just in the background of the cell where nothing else is

14. Cytoplasm
The cytoplasm does hold everything in place, but it is also just the background of the cell often overlooked

15. City Police The city police department works to protect the city
It keeps the bad guys in jail and makes sure the good guys are following the rules

16. Cell Membrane
The Cell Membrane works to protect the cell from intruders just like the city police
