Transcript The cell is like a car - APBiology2015-2016

The cell is like a car
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
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
Golgi apparatus
•
Acts as distribution center it distributes and stores proteins from ER.
•
Like carburetor or fuel injection it moves gas into the engine
Plasma membrane
•
The semi permeable wall separates outside from inside
•
Like an air filter it separates and filters
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.
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
nucleus
•
Center of the cell that contains all the genetic information
•
Like the owners manual it contains all the information about the car
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
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
Vacuoles
•
Help store waste and move products in and out of the cell they are bound the membrane
•
Like the catalytic converter on you car it helps clean and stores waste movie out of the car
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
chloroplast
•
Organelles in plant cells only that perform photosynthesis
•
Like a solar car it converts suns energy into usable energy for the car
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
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.
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
