1. A Cell is like a Solar System

2. Nucleus/Sun
The sun is like the nucleus of a cell because it is the source of power for everything in the solar system just like the nucleus is the source of power for every process in the cell.

3. Cell Membrane/Asteroid Belt
An asteroid belt is like a cell membrane because it keeps most things out
while other stuff gets into the solar system. Just like how the cell
membrane controls what goes in or comes out of the cell.

4. Cell Wall/Gravity
Gravity is like a cell wall because it keeps everything
in place and everything in orbit

5. Endoplasmic Reticulum/Orbit
An orbit is like an endoplasmic reticulum(ER) because the orbit is how all planets stay on their own path around the sun. The ER are the passages for proteins to move through the cell.

6. Golgi Apparatus/Rocket
A rocket is like the Golgi apparatus because it carries astronauts to different areas of the solar system.

7. Mitochondria/Sun
The sun is also like the mitochondria because the sun supplies all the power to the solar system.

8. Vacuole/Solar System
The solar system itself is like the vacuoles because the waste that is in the solar system has nowhere to go.

9. Ribosome/Sun
Just like the nucleus and the mitochondria, the sun is also like the ribosome because the sun produces what the solar system needs.

10. Cell wall-outermost covering
Chloroplasts-photosynthesis
Usually square
Usually one large vacuole
Cytoskeleton-inside cell
No chloroplasts
Can be any shape
Many small vacuoles
Do cell respiration
Are eukaryotes
(have a nucleus)
