Transcript Slide 1

A cell is like a truck
A nucleus is like a…
The nucleus is like the person that drives the
truck. The person controls the truck like the
nucleus is the control center of the cell.
The cell membrane is like…
The cell membrane is like a fuel filter
because the fuel filter keeps the dirt
and stuff out and lets the fuel run
through it. The cell membrane
regulates what goes in and out of the
cell.
The cell wall is like…
The cell wall is like a truck frame
because the frame holds the truck
off the ground and supports the
vehicle. The cell wall is protection,
structure and support for the cell.
The endoplasmic reticulum(ER) is like…
The endoplasmic reticulum is like a gas line
on a truck because it helps things move
through the vehicle.
The Golgi apparatus is like…
The Golgi apparatus is like the wiring
in the truck because the wires help
deliver the energy through the truck.
The Golgi apparatus packages and
delivers proteins.
The mitochondrion is like…
The mitochondrion is like the battery
because it powers the truck up for it
to run. The mitochondrion is the
power house of the cell.
The vacuole is like…
The vacuole is like the gas
tank because it stores gas for
the truck to run. The vacuole
stores food, water and waste
for the cell.
The ribosome is like…
The ribosome is like the motor
because it produces different
things to keep the truck running.
The ribosome produces proteins.
