PRESENTATION OUTLINE

The CELL as a City

BURG, HICKS, SUICO 7

NUCLEUS

CITY HALL- FUNCTIONS AS THE CONTROL CENTER
We chose City Hall to symbolize the Nucleus because they both control their respective structures. The nucleus is considered the control center of the cell, as city hall is considered the control center of a city.

VACUOLE

RESERVOIR- STORES MATERIAL
The vacuole stores water and other materials in large quantities, which a reservoir does for its city. It stores water for later use.

CHLOROPLASTS

SOLAR PLANT- TAKES ENERGY FROM THE SUN
Chloroplasts and solar power plants both produce natural energy created from the sun.

RIBOSOMES

GROCERY STORES- GIVES ENERGY
The ribosomes are like the grocery stores because they provide food in the form of protein.

CHROMATIN

HOSPITAL- CONTROLS HEALTH INFORMATION
Chromatin take care of most things related to DNA, RNA, and Protein. A hospital is the place that takes care of health related situations.

MITOCHONDRIA

RECYCLING CENTER- TAKES WASTE AND CREATES INTO SOMETHING NEW
The mitochondria produces a new form of energy from old materials, just like how a recycling center reproduces new materials from old materials.

CELL WALL

CITY WALLS- PROTECTS
The walls of a city protect said city, the same way a cell wall protects the cell.

CYTOPLASM

THE ROADS- BOTH ARE THE "PUBLIC SPACE"
The cytoplasm symbolize the roads because they're both public, free space for the city/cell

GOLGI APPARATUS

MAIL ROOM- PACKAGING SYSTEM
The Golgi Apparatus and mail room are the central packaging centers, which is why we compared them to each other.

PLASMA MEMBRANE

BORDER PATROL- CONTROLS WHAT GOES IN OR OUT
We picked the plasma membrane to be the border patrol of the city because both control who or what goes in and out of the city or cell. They both add protection.

VESICLE

SUBWAY SYSTEM- TRANSPORT
The vesicles are the subway system because they transport materials within the cell. The materials represent people and the cell represents the city

ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM

GYM- BREAKS DOWN FAT AND LIPIDS
The endoplasmic reticulum is a gym because it breaks down the fats and lipids in a person or cell.

CYTOPSKELETON

GROUND- THE FOUNDATION OF THE STRUCTURE
The cytoskeleton is the ground because it is the support system in which the cell is built on.

NUCLEOLUS

LIBRARY- STORES INFORMATION
The Nucleolus is the library because they both store important information about everything in the cell/city.
