A cell is made up of many organelles.
A cell and it’s organelles can be compared to
a shopping mall.


The nucleus controls what goes on
throughout the cell.
The manager has to ok everything that goes
on in a mall before it happens.


The mitochondria is the power house of the
cell.
The food court is where people to go get
more energy when they’re shopping in a mall.


The cell membrane controls what goes in and
out of the cell.
The doors control what go in and out of the
mall.


Cytoplasm is the jelly-like stuff in the cell
that keeps everything in place.
Security guards keep the mall in line and
everyone in their place.


Lysosomes digest and remove things.
Shoppers buy the clothes and food in the mall
and take them home.


The Golgi Apparatus transports things
throughout the cell.
A sale paper in a mall transports messages
throughout the mall.


The Rough E.R. makes and packages proteins.
A restaurant makes and packages food,
where the shoppers get protein.


The Smooth E.R. is used for storage.
Shoppers store the items they want to buy in
a shopping cart.


Ribosomes are found on the Rough E.R. and
they contain proteins.
The food you eat contains protein as well.


Centrioles are essential in cell division.
A shopper can’t shop without money.



The vacuole stores the water in the cell.
Shoppers and can stop and get water at
anytime from a water fountain.
Water is used in homeostasis to help with
temperature and hydration. .



Mitosis is nuclear cell division. Two
genetically identical cells are formed in
mitosis.
Cytokinesis is the division of cytoplasm.
Meiosis is sexual cell division and it forms
two genetically different cells.
