Cell Part
Kingdom Analogy
Why this analogy makes sense
1
Nucleus
King
The nucleus is the largest organelle and directs all cell activity, just like a king who controls and directs activity going on throughout the kingdom and is known as the biggest person in relation with power.
2
Nucleolus
Peasants
The nucleolus is the organelle which produces the ribosomes (farm) throughout the cell, just like the peasants who work hard to keep the farm fertile and running.
3
Ribosomes
Farm
The ribosomes are the organelles that produce the protein throughout the cell, just like the farms provide food and nutrients for the entire kingdom to feast on.
4
Cell Membrane
Draw Bridge
The cell membrane allows things to enter and exit the cell, just like the draw bridge is the only way into the kingdom
5
Lysomes
Maid
Lysomes are the organelles which is key to discarding waste and unwanted materials, just like the maid cleans and makes things clean and get rids of the waste.
6
Cell wall
Kingdom wall
The cell wall creates a protection and barrier for the cell and creates its shape , just like the kingdom walls protect the people inside of it from attacks and dangerous people
7
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Roads
ER is a network of tubes or membranes which transports things such as nutrients, just like the roads are a way for people to get around to certain areas
8
Flagellum
Horses
The flagellum is an extension of the cell that helps with locomotion, the ability to move from one place to another, just like horses are the main method of transportation in this era.
9
Mitochondria
Garden
The Garden is like the cells Mitochondria. The garden takes manure and seeds that have been brought into the city and transforms them into food that provides energy for the people just like the mitochondria produces ATP which is food for the cell allowing it to function.
10
Golgi Bodies
General Post office
Golgi bodies modify the proteins and sends them throughout the cell, just like how mail is packaged
