PRESENTATION OUTLINE

THE CELL AS A CITY

BY NATALIA ROSENFELD AND GRACE ALCEDO

NUCLEUS: CITY HALL

COMMAND CENTER
City Hall functions like a nucleus because it's the center and middle of Los Angeles, California. Like the nucleus, it functions as the center and most important part. City Hall controls all the activities in the city just like the nucleus controls all the activities in a cell.

CELL MEMBRANE: CITY LIMITS

PROTECT AND ORGANIZE: PROTECTION BARRIER
Like a cell membrane, city limits act as a protection barrier. City limits control what goes in and out of a city like a cell membrane controls the substances that enter and leave a cell.

RIBOSOMES:CITY CONSTRUCTION COMPANY

CONSTRUCTS AND BUILDS
City construction acts as a ribosome because they are both constantly building and constructing

MITOCHONDRIA: POWER COMPANY

PRODUCTION OF ENERGY
Like the mitochondria, the Los Angeles power company produces energy. Both the mitochondria and the LA power company are in charge of electricity and energy.

CENTRAL VACUOLE: WAREHOUSE

STORES AND HOLDS MATERIALS
A warehouse functions like a vacuole because they both store and hold necessary materials. Like a vacuole, a warehouse contains important materials.

LYSOME: FOOD PROCESSING PLANT

REMOVAL OF WASTE
Food processing plants are like lysosomes because they both break down materials to create a final product.

CHLOROPLAST: SOLAR POWER PLANT

PRODUCES ENERGY FROM SUN
Like Chloroplast, Solar power energy captures the energy from sunlight and converts it and stores it.

ROUGH ER: ROAD SYSTEM

MOVING, TRANSPORTING, AND ASSEMBLING
Like the rough ER, the road system moves and transports objects.

CYTOPLASM: OPEN SPACE

SHAPING AND FILLING UP SPACE
The cytoplasm and open space are alike because they shape the environment or cell and fill up the surrounding regions.

CYTOSKELETON: TRANSPORT SYSTEM

PROVIDES ROUTES OF TRANSPORTATION
Like the cytoskeleton, the transport system provides routes of transport and travel.

SMOOTH ER: MANUFACTURING PLANTS

MAKING OF PRODUCTS
Just like the smooth ER makes vesicles and lipids, the manufacturing plants makes and creates products.

GOLGI APPARATUS: POST OFFICE

MODIFIES, SORTS, AND PACKAGES
Like the Golgi Apparatus, a post office modifies, sorts and packages products, mail, and goods.

VESICLES: UBER

TRANSPORTATION
Like a vesicle, Uber's transporte people from one llave to another while vesicles transport materials from one place to another.

CELL WALL: CITY WALL

PROTECTION AND SUPPORT
A city wall is like a cell wall because one helps protect the interior of the cell while the other protects people inside the city. They both are used as protection.
