• Do the parts of the cell compare to any
parts of a city?
• What cell parts do you remember from
yesterday?
• How many can you relate to the parts of a
city?
• Each part of the cell has its
own function or purpose.
• The parts of the cell can
be compared to the parts
of a city based on their
similar purpose.

• You are going to create your own real
or imaginary city.
• Each part of your city will correspond
to a part of the cell.
• Your city must have:
• a name
• a border
• a ruler (mayor, king, queen)
• police force or protection
• make a product
• have a way to deliver the product
• power system
• a way to deal with the garbage
• An analogy is a similarity between like
features of two things, on which a
comparison may be based.
Endoplasmic
Reticulum
The road represents the
endoplasmic reticulum because they
are both transportation systems
Choose an Animal
Cell City or a Plant
Cell City
The plant cell will have two extra
parts:
Cell Wall
Chloroplasts
You will receive an extra 2 points if
you choose the plant cell.
1. Sketch your city in pencil on large computer paper.
2. Label and circle each part of the city
1. A-M for plant cell
2. A-K for animal cell
3. Create a legend in the corner of your city.
4. Color your city completely and neatly

• Your map/picture must be neat, colorful,
correctly labeled, and have a legend or key.
• Use pencil first then color.
• Be creative! Have fun with it.
• Past examples included
• underwater cities
• prehistoric cities
• skate parks

Body
• Explain each part of the cell and make an
analogy to your city.
• Make sure you are detailed and add
descriptions.
Conclusion

• Sentence 2-4: Summary supporting at least 3
ideas from the body.
• Sentence 5: Choose
– Ask the reader a question
OR
– Challenge the reader to do something

Cell city project Essay
My city best represents a animal cell because it does not have a cell wall or chloroplast. In a animal cell there is no
call wall or chloroplast.
My city is like a cell because every part in my city does a similar job of that in a cell. In a cell the nucleus acts like
the brain or control center and in my city the White House is like the nucleus because in the United States the President and other
people in the White House control the rest of the United States. In a cell the nucleolus is where ribosomes are made so for my city
because you can't really create a farm the Mid West states represent the nucleolus because that is the region of the United States
farms are located. In a cell the chromatin contains the genetic material, the instructions that direct the functions of a cell. In my
city the Congress represents the chromatin because they make laws that people have to follow. While a cell has a nuclear
membrane to control what goes in and out of the nucleus my city has White House Security who controls who goes in and out of
the White House. In a cell the endoplasmic reticulum has the job of catting materials form one part of the cell to another for my
city I used curriers because they carry products around in the states. In a cell the lysosome breaks sown old cell parts and releases
the substances so they can be used again well for my city I decided that waste management would be best because waste
management takes care of the old things we no longer used and they recycle what can be used again such as paper and plastic.
Most animal cells do not have a vocoule but I have decided to include it in my cell city. The vacuole is a large storage for the cell,
in my city it is represented by a warehouse because people store thing there. In a cell the cytoplasm creates energy, and builds,
and transports things to another part of the cell. In my city states act like the cytoplasm because the states build things and crate
energy (most), and they all transport things. Ribosomes in a cell produce proteins well in my city farms would be like ribosomes
because farms crow crops and crops produce nutrients. The golgi body can be thought of as the mail room because it receives
proteins, and newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and sends them to other parts in the cell.
In my city I have used the U.S Postal to represent the golgi body because they receive things, package them, and send it off to
another part of the United States. Mitochondria makes energy in a cell and in the United States energy is created by solar panels,
dams, and windmills so for mitochondria I am using solar panels, dams, and windmills. Finally the last organelle is the cell
membrane. The cell membrane controls what goes in and out of the cell, and in my city I used customs because they are the
people that allow you in or out of the United States.
For these reasons I think my cell city represents a animal cell.
