PRESENTATION OUTLINE
THE CELL IS A CITY
SAHERN AND VARTANIAN PER. 2
CELL MEMBRANE
- Monitors and Controls passage of materials of cell.
- Forms a boundary between a cell and the outside environment
- Allows nutrients and waste to pass through
We chose a police man for the cell membrane, because like a police man it monitors what comes in and goes out of the city.
CYTOPLASM
- Jelly-like substance that contains dissolved building blocks
- The fluid that fills the cell
- Semifluid liquid where organelles are found in cell.
- Building blocks include proteins, nucleic acids, minerals, and ions
My partner and I chose this picture of bricks since they are the building blocks used to build walls or buildings. They are like the cytoplasm.
NUCLEUS
- Storehouse for the DNA
- Bound by double membrane
- Contains nuclear envelope
- Also includes chomatin
We chose this picture of the Capitol Building because it acts like the main office in the city or nucleus.
NUCLEOLUS
- Dense region where tiny organelles essential
- Tiny organelles make proteins
- Makes parts needed to build a ribosome
- Carries messenger RNA and some ribosomes
We chose this picture of a mayor because he acts like the person who works inside the Capitol Building or the nucleus.
CYTOSKELETION
- Network of proteins that changes constantly
- Changes constantly to meets the cell's needs
- Contains filaments that reinforce the cell shape and function
- Helps in cell movement
- Made from proteins
We chose this picture of a road, because it constantly changes since it keeps on changing for the benefit of the city. This happens so it that people can drive over it easily.
SMOOTH ER
- Surface that doesn't contain ribosomes
- Network of tubules
- Where lipids, synthesis, and carbohydrate metabolism take place.
- Removes toxins
- Metabolizes carbohydrates and produces lipids.
We chose this picture of a subway because, it is like a network of stations like the Smooth ER that has a network of tubules.
ROUGH ER
- Surface that contains ribosomes
- Shape of flattened sacs
- Manufactures and packages proteins
- Many lysosomal enzymes
- Membrane-embedded proteins
We chose this picture of an IN-N-OUT Restaurant because they creates burgers and and sell them to the public. This is like the Rough ER because it manufactures and packages proteins and protein is found in the burgers we eat.
RIBOSOME
- Tiny organelles
- Link amino acids to form proteins
- Produces proteins
- Does not have membranes
- Can be free, or found on smooth ER.
My partner and I chose this picture of a construction site sign since they link together objects to build something. This is like a ribosome since a ribosome links amino acids to form proteins.
GOLGI APPARATUS
- Consists of closely layered stacks
- Stacks of membrane-enclosed spaces
- Process, sort, deliver proteins
- Aids in modification
- Looks like flat pita bread stacks
We chose this picture of a bread store since the Golgi Apparatus looks like a flat pita bread. We believe that you can find a bread store in the city so like the Golgi Apparatus is the bread store.
VESICLE
- Found in the plant and animal cell
- A small membrane
- Bound sacs that divide materials from cytoplasm
- Transports materials from place to place in cell
My partner and I chose this picture of the UPS Logo since they transport packages from place to place in the city. This is like a Vesicle since a Vesicle transports materials from place to place in the cell.
MITOCHONDRIA
- Supplies energy to the cell
- Bean shaped and have two membranes
- Generates ATP from fuels
- Cells can contain 1-1000 mitochondria
- Can have own DNA and divide in cell
We chose this picture of the Glendale Water & Power (GWP) since it supplies energy for the city. It acts likes the Mitochondria since that supplies energy to the cell.
VACUOLE
- Fluid-filled sac used for storage of materials
- Can store proteins, food, and broken down waste
- Also pumps water to help plant support and growth
The storage box acts like the Vacuole since it stores extra items that the owner has. The Vacuole stores materials for the cell.
LYSOSOME
- Membrane-bound organelles that contain enzymes
- Defend a cell from invading bacteria and viruses
- Also breaks down damaged or worn-out cell parts
- Found only in animal cells
- The digestive system of the cell
The garbage truck acts like the Lysosome since it collects waste and breaks it down. It then takes the waste to the garbage dump where it is broken down.
CENTRIOLE
- Cylinder-shaped organelles
- Made of short microtubules arranged in circles
- Helps chromosomes move during cell division
- Found only in animal cells
We chose this picture of the UHAUL Truck since it is a moving company that helps people move from place to place. It is like the Centriole since the Centriole helps chromosomes move during cell division.
CELL WALL
- Gives protection, support, and shape to the cell
- Helps the plant cell maintain its shape
- Protects from physical damage
- A rigid layer found in plant and bacteria cells
My partner and I chose this picture of a stone wall since it gives protection to people and helps support a building. It is like the cell wall since the cell walls give protection, support, and shape to the cell.
CHLOROPLAST
- Organelles that carry out photosynthesis
- Series of complex chemical reations
- Converts solar energy into sugar
- Food producer for the plant cell
We chose this picture of a solar panel since in collects energy from the sun and changes it into energy the people can use. Solar panels are like Chloroplast since it converts solar energy into sugar for the cell to use.
CENTROSOME
- Small region of cytoplasm
- Produces microtubules
- Moves chromosomes during cell division
- Found in animal cells
My partner and I used another picture of someone moving since the Centrosome helps move chromosomes during cell division.
