1. Cell Analogies Cell Membrane Cell Wall Nucleus Cytoplasm Chloroplast
Mitochondria
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Golgi Apparatus
Lysosome

2. Cell Membrane Security and confinement
helps confine the cell’s contents and controls what enters and exits the cell

3. Cell Wall Building strong walls
cell wall provides strong structural support

4. Nucleus
Library and copying service
houses and protects the cell’s DNA

5. Cytoplasm
Mixing it up
the cytoplasm is a mixing area that speeds up the cell’s metabolism (reactions)

6. Chloroplast Energy capture and storage
chloroplast makes sugar (glucose) from carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water

7. Mitochondria Making energy
mitochondria consume sugar and oxygen and distribute the energy for all the cell’s activities

8. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Manufacturing and transport
the ER helps assemble proteins and fats and transports them to the Golgi apparatus

9. Golgi Apparatus Shipping department
the Golgi apparatus packages and ships products like enzymes and hormones

10. Lysosome Housekeeping and recycling
lysosomes digest waste products and recycle worn out parts
