CELL AS AN OFFICE

CELL MEMBRANE

• Boundary of the cell
• We chose a receptionist because he/ she controls who comes in and out of the office.

CYTOPLASM

• Suspend the organelles and fills the cells
• I chose air because it fills our lungs.

NUCLEUS

• Control center of the cell
• I chose the boss because like the nucleus he/she works as a control center.

NUCLEOLUS

• An area in the nucleus
• I chose a mug because it’s usually in the bosses office.

CYTOSKELETON

• Network of protein fibers and gives cells its shape.
• We related this to the walls of the office because it gives the office shape arms separates workers.

SMOOTH ER

• Contains no ribosomes and makes lipids and vesicles.
• We related this to a because packaging takes place and then is transported

ROUGH ER

• Transports proteins that were made on the ribosomes
• I chose an letter because they are used to transport things like a rough ER

RIBOSOMES

• Site of protein synthesis and makes protiens
• I chose a coffee machine because it makes coffee that gives us energy.

GOLGI BODIES

• Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins.
• I chose boxes because it sorts and packages like the Golgi body does.

VESICLE

• Transport materials within the cell.
• I chose a shipping truck because it transports materials like a vesicle.

MITOCHONDRIA

• Powerhouse of the cell
• I chose coffee because it gives energy to workers just like the mitochondria does.

VACUOLE

• Fluid filled sac used for storage of water, food, etc.
• I chose a refrigerator because it stores food and water just as a vacuole does.

LYSOSOMES

• Contain digestive enzymes that break down cellular waste.
• I chose a paper shredder because just like a lysosomes it breaks down waste.

CELL WALL

• Rigid layer outside of the cell membrane. Gives support and protection.
• I chose the building walls because it surrounds and protects the offices.

CHLOROPLAST

• Carries out photosynthesis.
• I chose solar pannel in an office because it gives energy to everything I’m the office like a chloroplast.

CENTRIOLES & CENTROSOMES

• Made of micro tubes and aids in cell division.
• I chose a desk because it aids and supports the things on the desk and the people.
