The Cell Membrane could be compared to something like the doors and windows of a car. The function of the cell membrane is to protect the inner parts of the cell from its surroundings. A Cell Membrane also works …show more content…
The endoplasmic reticulum of a cell's main use is to make, package and distribute certain types of proteins. There are two distinct types of ER which are smooth and rough. Smooth ER works to create and store lipids while the rough ER works to package proteins. Endoplasmic Reticulum is like the gas tank of a car because it helps to store and distribute gasoline to the engine of the car. The Golgi Apparatus can be compared to something like a car filter. The main purpose of the Golgi Apparatus is to take in certain productions from the rough endoplasmic reticulum and checks to make sure that none of the chemicals are in their wrong place. If the Golgi apparatus does find something in the wrong place it will send it back the rough ER. A Golgi apparatus is like the filter of a car because like a filter it chooses which products can and can not pass through it which keeps the cell healthy much like how a car keeps dust and debris out of the …show more content…
The function of the mitochondria is to take in nutrients and break it down to turn it into energy for the cell. The mitochondria also play a big part in cellular respiration and help limit the amount of calcium in the cytosol. The mitochondria are like the battery of a car because like the mitochondria the battery provides energy for the car to make it run. Centrioles within the cell can be compared to the parts of a car engine. The function of centrioles is to help with cell division in animal cells. Centrioles are mainly made up of protein strands called microtubules. The centrioles found within a cell can be compared to the engine parts of a car because parts in an engine need to be changed periodically much like how centrioles help duplicate the cell. Lysosome within a cell can be compared to something like the exhaust of a car. The function of the lysosome is to digest and remove waste such as old organelles or food particles. Lysosome work when a part of the cell is damaged or there is a waste and it is moved to the lysosome where it is broken down and released through the cell membrane. Lysosome is like the exhaust of a car because like an exhaust lysosome help break down and eject harmful
