1. Cell Analogy By Kallie Mac and Victoria Auten

2. Cell

3. Mail Room and Route

4. Mitochondria  Plant and animal  Function: generates energy “Power House”  Analogy: Generator because it runs the mail belts, shoots, and transportation networks.

5. Ribosomes  Plant and animal  Function: Builds the proteins; catalyzes the synthesis of cell proteins  Analogy: Labeling and capping machines because they package the protein, in this case the mail, for delivery.

6. Nucleus  Plant and animal  Function: Contains genetic material “brain”  Analogy: Computer data base because it contains information like addresses and delivery which are essential to the mail room.

7. Endoplasmic Reticulum  Plants and animals  Function: Makes proteins “factory”  Analogy: Mail room because it contains all the machines and data bases necessary for transporting and maintaining the mail.

8. Golgi Apparatus  Plants and animals  Function: Modifies the protein and sends it away “ups”  Analogy: The mail truck because it take the mail away from the postal office

9. Centrioles  Animals  Function: They form organizing centers for mitotic spindles  Analogy: Cubbies in the mail room because they organize the mail into different cubbies by mail right.

10. Plasma/Cell Membrane  Plant and animal  Function: The semi- fluid membrane controls what goes in and out of the cell  Analogy: The mail chute because it allows some letters to pass through the shoot freely while redirecting larger packages to a belt.

11. Lysosomes  Animals  Function: Breaks down the cells old macromolecules for recycling  Analogy: The return center because they take the mail with no address or the wrong address to the recycling center where it is redistributed.

12. Cytoplasm/Cytosol  Plant and animals  Function: It is the fluid that organelles float in  Analogy: Workers because they put the mail in the cubbies and hold the mail room together.

13. Chloroplasts  Plants  Function: Photosynthesis occurs inside  Analogy: The plant inside the mail room because it allows photosynthesis to occur in the workroom.

14. Cytoskeleton  Plant and animal  Function: Gives the cell structure  Analogy: The mail building itself contains the mail so it can be delivered and processed.

15. Vacuole  Plant  Function: Stores water  Analogy: Mail bin because it stores the mail that has not been sorted yet.

16. Cell Wall  Plant  Function: A wall consisting of stiff supporting fibers  Analogy: Route boundaries because it contains the mail to strict distribution points.
