1. Cell Organelles Eukaryotic Cells

2. Cell Parts Cells – the basic unit of life Organelles - small structures inside a cell with specific functions. Analogy – City of Rocklin

3. A) Cell Membrane/Plasma Membrane Analogy – Oxford city limits 1.Function: Regulates materials entering and exiting the cell. 2.Plants AND animal cells have these. Cell membrane

4. B) Cytoplasm 1.Function: All cell contents that lie between the cell membrane and the nucleus. (organelles + cytosol) 2. Plants AND animal cells have these. Analogy – All air, water, life that are in Oxford, except Town Hall Cytoplasm

5. C) Nucleus 1.Function: “Control Center.” 2.Plants AND animal cells have these. Analogy – Town Hall Nucleus (the whole thing)

6. D) Endoplasmic Reticulum Analogy – Roads & Sidewalks 1.Function: Transportation route for proteins. a.Rough ER: has ribosomes b.Smooth ER: no ribosomes 2.Plants AND animal cells have these. Rough ER Smooth ER

7. E) Ribosomes Analogy – Restaurants, Factories, Builders. 1.Function: Makes proteins. 2. Plants AND animal cells have these.

8. F) Vacuoles Analogy – Grocery stores, water tanks. 1.Function: Storage for water, nutrients or waste. 2.Plants AND animal cells have these.

9. G) Lysosomes Analogy – Recycling center 1.Function: packets of enzymes that break down materials in a cell. 2.Much more common in animal cells than in plant cells.

10. H) Mitochondria Analogy – Duke Energy 1.Function: Produce energy for the cell – site of cellular respiration. “The Powerhouse” 2.Plants AND animal cells have these.

11. I) Golgi Apparatus Analogy – Post Office 1.Function: Packages, labels and ships proteins out of the cell. 2.Structure: Plants AND animal cells have these. Golgi Apparatus

12. J) Cytoskeleton Analogy – Wood, cement, steel beams 1.Function: Provide support and structure for the cell. 2.Plants AND animal cells have these. Microfilaments Microtubules

13. K) Chloroplasts (Plants only) Analogy – Solar Panels 1.Function: site of photosynthesis (converting sun and CO2 into sugar). 2.Plant Cells ONLY

14. L) Cell Wall (Plant cells only) Analogy – ground, rock wall 1.Function: Provides support for the cell and the plant. 2.Plant Cells ONLY Cell Wall

15. Cell Parts Analogy Create an analogy (besides the city analogy) for the cell and its parts Possible ideas: –Stadium –School –Restaurant –House –Mall –Waterpark

16. Stadium Example: Cell membrane: wall of stadium, gates Cytoplasm: everything inside the stadium. Nucleus: the control room for the stadium. Etc…
