Our School As a Cell
By: Christopher Gu, Joely Skinner,
Naomi Urnes, and Paola Dacosta
Nucleus as Office
• The Nucleus is like the office because the
office and the nucleus both serve as a
control center.
Nucleolus as Dr. Baugus
• The nucleolus is like Dr. Baugus because
the nucleolus produces ribosomes just like
Dr. Baugus produces teachers.
Cell Membrane as Doors
• The cell membrane controls what goes in
and out of the cell just like doors control
who and what comes in and out of the
school building.
Cytoplasm as Volume of School
• Cytoplasm is the jelly like substance inside
the cell in which all organelles float in just
like the volume of the school holds all the
students and staff members inside.
Golgi Body as Busses
• The golgi body packages proteins and
send it to another organelle just like the
busses package kids and send them
home.
Lysosome as Janitor
• Lysosomes produce enzymes that destroy
bacteria just like janitors clean all dirty
places in the school that can cause
sickness.
Mitochondria as Generator
• Mitochondria are the power houses of the
cell which provide energy for the cell just
like the generator provides energy for the
school.
Ribosomes as
Students
• Ribosomes produce protein just like
students produce money for the school.
Rough ER is like hallways
• Rough ER is the a system that transport
ribosomes to other parts of the cell just like
hallways transport students throughout the
school building.
Smooth ER as Empty Hallways
• Smooth ER is a system of transportation
for other organelles just like hallways
during class time which are empty.
Vacuole as Dumpster
• The Vacuole stores the cells water supply
and waste products just like a dumpster
which stores waste products.
Cell Wall as Walls
• The cell wall maintains the cells shape and
protects the cell just like the school walls
keep the shape and protect the school.
Chloroplast as Art Room
• Chloroplast produces chlorophyll which
maintains the plant cells green color just
like the art room produce colorful paint
which keep the schools color.
Pop Quiz!
1. Why is the nucleolus like Dr. Baugus?
2. Why are mitochondria so similar to
generators?
3. What does a lysosome do?
4. Ribosomes produce proteins for the cell
as ______ produce money for the
school.
Answers
1. The nucleolus is like Dr. Baugus because
they both produce something.
2. Mitochondria are similar to generators
because they both produce power.
3. Lysosomes produce enzymes that kill
bacteria just like janitors.
