Cell
A cell is like a doctor’s office as a whole (the
building, the people, and the business).
Cell Wall
Only plant cells have a
cell wall. The cell wall is
the structure of the cell
that supports it. The
building itself would be
like the cell wall because
it is the structure of
the office.
Cell Membrane
The cell membrane regulates what goes in and out
of the cell. The doors to the building regulate who
comes in and who goes out of the office.
Nucleus
The nucleus is the
control center of the
cell. Most offices have
a boss/manager that is
in control. They take
care of things that
the doctor is to busy
to deal with. Without
a boss/manager, it
would be very hectic.
Mitochondrion
The mitochondrion is the power house of the cell.
It produces energy (ATP) for the cell. The
receptionists that are at the front desk schedule
appointments and take care of patient’s
paperwork. Without patients, there would be no
business. So the receptionists are like the power
house of the office and the patient’s business
would be the energy.
Ribosome
Ribosomes produce
proteins for the cell.
Advertising a doctor’s
business promotes people
to become patients
there. So the
advertising would be like
the ribosomes and the
patients would be like
the proteins in a cell.
Golgi Apparatus
The golgi apparatus packages and shifts proteins in
the cell. When patients (proteins) arrive, they
have to remain in the waiting room, fill out papers
that go into their charts, and are eventually taken
back to a room to see the doctor. This process
gets the patients (proteins) ready step-by-step to
be seen by the doctor just like the golgi apparatus
gets the proteins ready and shifted in the cell.
The endoplasmic
reticulum are passage
ways for proteins to
move through the cell.
The hallways in the
building are passage
ways for the patients
(proteins) to go from the
waiting room to the room
where they will see the
doctor.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Vacuole
The vacuole stores
water, food, and waste
in the cell. Patient’s
charts store information
that is needed to
continue business with
that patient.
Animal Cell:
Plant Cell:
•cell wall- outter most
covering
•chloroplasts- photosynthesis
•usually square
•one large central vacuoles
•cytoskeleton- inside the cell
•no chloroplasts
•can be any shape
•many small vacuoles
Both Cells:
•do cell respiration
•eukaryotes
•have a nucleus
