CELL PART ANALOGIES
2
Parts of a Cell
3
Cell Membrane The cell membrane controls what goes in and out of the cell. The cell membrane is like a screen door, because a screen door holds things out but lets air in.
4
Cytoplasm The cytoplasm holds cell parts in place. The cytoplasm is like nails or glue because it holds things together.
5
Nucleus The nucleus controls all of the cells activities. A nucleus is like a tour guide because they control all of the places people go on tours.
6
Lysosome A lysosome digests and recycles materials. A lysosome is like an engine because an engine recycles oil. It is the cell’s garbage disposal.
7
Endoplasmic Reticulum The endoplasmic reticulum is like a road way in the cell. The endoplasmic reticulum is like a freeway, because it gets people from place to place.
8
Golgi Apparatus The Golgi apparatus assembles, packages and delivers. The Golgi apparatus is like a post office, because the whole point of a post office is to package and deliver things.
9
Chromosome A chromosome stores information. A chromosome is like a flash drive or a book because they store information.
10
Centriole A centriole helps organize the cell when it is divided. A centriole is like a secretary because they organize things.
11
Cytoskeleton The cytoskeleton holds the shape of the cell. The cytoskeleton is like the beams of a house because they help the house hold it’s shape.
12
Mitochondria The mitochondria burns food for energy The mitochondria is like a fire because fires burn wood for energy.
13
Vacuole The vacuole is used for storage (mostly for water). The vacuole is like a cupboard because you store things in it.
14
Chloroplast The chloroplast turns energy from the sun into energy the cell can use. A chloroplast is like a solar panel because it uses the sun’s energy for other things.
15
Cell Wall The cell wall surrounds the plant cell and protects it. It is made of a hard non-living substance called CELLULOSE.
