Cell Organelle

1. Cell Organelle By: Michael Thompson

2. A cell is like a car

3. Nucleus- controls the cell • The nucleus is like the driver of the car because the driver controls the car like the nucleus controls the cell

4. Cell membrane- regulates what goes in/out of the cell • Cell membrane is like the doors because the doors let people in and out like the membrane regulates what comes in/out

5. Cell wall (plant)- provide protection/ structure/ support • Cell wall is like the frame because the frame supports the car like the cell wall supports the cell

6. Endoplasmic Reticulum- has passages for proteins to move through • Endoplasmic Reticulum is like the fuel lines because the fuel line has a passage for the gas like the endoplasmic reticulum has passage for the proteins

7. Golgi apparatus- package and ships out protein • Golgi apparatus is like a carburetor because the carburetor put gas in the engine like the Golgi apparatus ships the proteins for the cell

8. Mitochondrion(powerhouse)- produces energy for the cell • Mitochondrion is like a battery because the battery gives energy for the car to start like the mitochondrion produces energy for the cell

9. Vacuole- stores food, water, and waste for the cell • Vacuole is like a gas tank because the gas tank stores gas like the vacuole stores food for the cell

10. Ribosome- produces proteins • Ribosome is like a engine because the engine produces the force to move the car like the ribosome produces the proteins for the cell

11. Animal cell Plant cell A animal cell has a cytoskeleton inside of it for structure and support. They can be any shape. They only do cell respiration. They also have many small vacuole. A plant cell has a cell wall on the outside for structure and support. They are square shaped. To produce energy they do photosynthesis, in the chloroplast, and cell respiration, in the mitochondrion. They have 1 large central vacuole.
