Cell Analogy Project Ideas

The cell wall is like a bullet proof vest, because a cell wall protects the cell like a bullet proof vest protects its user. The cytoplasm is like a jello salad because the cytoplasm surrounds and suspends the cell’s organelles like the jello surrounds and suspends the fruit in the jello salad.

• Cells are Like Schools. The hard exterior of a school building keeps it standing like a cell wall does in a plant cell.
• Cells are Like Cities.
• Cells are Like Cars.
• Cells are Like Zoos.

They regulate what goes in/out. The cell wall in a plant cell is like the frame on a car. The frame supports the car as the cell wall supports the plant. Golgi apparatus is like the fuel pump on a car.

Golgi Apparatus can be compared with PANCREAS and LIVER slightly. Golgi Body mainly takes part in secretion in a cell.

A Golgi body, also known as a Golgi apparatus, is a cell organelle that helps process and package proteins and lipid molecules, especially proteins destined to be exported from the cell.

The Golgi Apparatus is like a small packaging system. It’s particular function, is to store/package protein enzymes and carbohydrates before they are sent to a location. An example of the Golgi Apparatus is a postal office. A postal office packages and sends mail to different locations.

If all the mitochondria are removed from cell then the cell will die because mitochondria are the powerhouse of. It provide energy to the cell (in the form of ATP). If there is no mitochondria in the cell then there will be no energy supply to the cell to perform necessary function and for metabolism .

Answer: If the plasma membrane ruptures or breakdown then the cell will not be able to exchange material from its surrounding by diffusion or osmosis. Thereafter the protoplasmic material will be disappeared and the cell will die. 4. What would happen to the life of a cell if there was no Golgi apparatus?

If there were no Golgi apparatus, various substances would not be in a position to be transformed in proper forms for further use. Hence, the absence of Golgi apparatus will hamper the formation of new cells during cell division.

1. Write clearly.
2. Explain main parts of the cell (the organelles).
3. Connect parts of the analogy to parts of the cell (the organelles).
4. Make the cell functions accurate.
5. Explain the analogy of the cell to a system.
6. Include your name, date, and the title of the analogy project.

An animal cell is like a restaurant. The cell membrane is to a cell as doors are to the restaurant. They assemble the “ribosomes” in a cell. The dishes in a restaurant are like Ribosomes in cells because proteins are assembled on them, and they’re scattered all around the cell.

The cell wall is like the walls of the restaurant because the walls protects the restaurant from environmental conditions and gives shape to the restaurant in the same way the cell wall protects, supports, and gives shape to the plant cell.

The flaggella is equivalent to the backside of a restaurant, as they both protrude from the main structure. Golgi Bodies (packages the proteins of the cell): The golgi bodies are equivalent to the delivery men of a restaurant, packaging food before it is delivered.

Cytoplasm: The dining area. The cytoplasm is the jelly-like material inside the cell where the organelles are, like the dining room containing the tables and chairs are where the people sit.

Through the microscope, the nucleolus looks like a large dark spot within the nucleus. A nucleus may contain up to four nucleoli, but within each species the number of nucleoli is fixed. After a cell divides, a nucleolus is formed when chromosomes are brought together into nucleolar organizing regions.

Within the nucleus is a structure called the nucleolus, whose job is to make ribosomes. Color the nucleolus black.

The Nucleolus Although structurally distinct, it is not surrounded by a membrane. It is the site of transcription of the genes for rRNA molecules, for which there are 400 genes in a diploid human cell, distributed in multiple tandem repeats on 5 different chromosomes.

The nucleus contains one or more nucleoli, which serve as sites for ribosome synthesis. The nucleus houses the genetic material of the cell: DNA. Before any cell is ready to divide, it must replicate its DNA so that each new daughter cell will receive an exact copy of the organism’s genome.

Chromosome Condensation DNA in this highly condensed state can no longer be transcribed, so all RNA synthesis stops during mitosis. As the chromosomes condense and transcription ceases, the nucleolus also disappears.

noun. plural: nucleoli. nu·cle·o·lus, njuːˈkliːələs. (cell biology) The round granular structure within the nucleus of a cell, composed of proteins, DNA, and RNA, and functions primarily for the creation of ribosomes.

What does DNA do? DNA contains the instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce. To carry out these functions, DNA sequences must be converted into messages that can be used to produce proteins, which are the complex molecules that do most of the work in our bodies.
