Cell Structure and Function Analogy: Restaurant
Golgi Apparatus Analogy: Expo Window in kitchen
The Golgi Apparatus functions in the final modification, storage, and sorting/dispatching products. The Expo Window applies the final modifications to the food; replating the food, putting on toppings for food items, and ensuring food items were cooked properly.
Intercellular Junctions Analogy: Computers for orders
Intercellular Junctions function in the communication between cells. Servers put the orders into the computers which are sent back into the kitchen. The computer sends different orders, hot food to hot side and cold food to cold side, to different areas in the restaurant (i.e. bar drinks to the bar).
Plasma Membrane Analogy: Doors of a restaurant
Just like the doors of a restaurant, the plasma membrane allows and regulates what molecules are allowed to enter and exit the cell.
Lysosomes Analogy: Dishpit/Garbage area
Lysosomes are the "clean up crew" of the cell, just like the dishpit in a restaurant. The dirty plates, and broken glass, etc. need to be disposed of, the dishpit cleans the used plates and utencils.
Cytoskeleton Analogy: Host Stand to seat tables
The Cytoskeleton functions in the maintenance of the cells shape, and movement of organelles inside cells. The Host Stand of the restaurant chooses where to seat the guests and controls where, when and how many people get sat at which tables. The Host Stand and Cytoskeleton relate because they each control the flow/movement of the cell/restaurant.
What makes up an animal cell?
- Plasma Membrane
- Nucleus
- Free Ribosomes
- Lysosomes
- Golgi Apparatus
- Intercellular Junctions
- Cytoskeleton
- Mitochondria
Free Ribosomes Analogy: Food (ATP) produced in restaurant
The Free Ribosomes in animal cells produce the proteins that are used inside of the cell; food is produced in the restaurant for the guests who come to eat.
Mitochondria Analogy: Cook of Restaurant
Nucleus Analogy: Manager of restaurant
The Mitochondria functions in cellular respiration which functions in the production of ATP. The cook, cooks the food (ATP) before sending it out to be consumed by the guests.
The manager of a restaurant controls the function and what goes on in the restaurant. The nucleus of the cell controls much of what goes on within the cell.
