Many teachers use the example: “A Cell is like a factory….the nucleus is the boss, the golgi packs and ships materials, the mitochondria provides the power/generator, etc.”
Your task is to come up with a NEW analogy.
A cell is like a……?
Be sure to include these cell organelles and justify your responses.
1. nucleus
2. mitochondria
3. endoplasmic reticulum
4. chloroplast
5. ribosome
6. golgi body
7. lysosome and vacuole
You have a choice as to what product you would like to submit for this assignment. Choose one of the following:
Describe your analogies and justify your responses.
Create a powerpoint that shows your analogies and justifications.
Draw a diagram of your analogies with a key to justify your responses.
CELL ANALOGY
A cell is like a mall, the nucleus is the mall manager, the mitochondria is the food court, the hallways of the mall are the endoplasmic reticulum, the food In the court is the ribosomes, the sale papers are the Golgi apparatus, the maintenance workers are the lysosomes, the water fountain is the vacuole.
The mitochondria-convert simple sugars to energy so, shoppers convert their paychecks to money.
The mall is like a cell because it holds everything inside of it.
The nucleus is the mall manager because the nucleus is the one that does all the work and manages everything.
The mitochondria are the food court because the mitochondrion is where the cell makes food.
The hallways of the mall are the endoplasmic reticulum because that is where everything is from or made just like endoplasmic reticulum in the cell.
The ribosomes are the food in the court because that’s where the cell gets its food.
The water fountain is the vacuole because water fountains hold water same as water fountains do.
The sale papers are the Golgi apparatus because when a cashier makes a sell and releases that item to the customer is the same as the Golgi in the cell that stores and
