Spongebob Cell Analogy

Cell Membrane

The outer shell of the cell, sort of like the skin. I allows some substances in and some out.

Just like the cell membrane, the Krusty Krabs walls surround the restaurant and keep the people in and also let the people out.

Cell membrane

Peroxisome

The peroxisome breaks down toxic materials in the cell (the waste.) This can be compared to the bathroom In the Krusty Krab because it gathers all the wastes and gets rid of it.

Peroxisome

Cytoskeleton

A series of proteins that help the cell with shape, support and movement.

The Walls are the cytoskeleton in the Krusty Krab because they help give the overall shape of the restaurant.

Cytoskeleton

Nucleus

The

Nucleus

The nucleus is the main control center for the cell and acts like the brain for the cell.

Mr. Krabs is like the Nucleus since he is the owner of the restaurant and makes all of the decisions.

Endoplasmic Reticulum

The endoplasmic reticulum creates a network of membranes found throughout the whole cell. Basically transporting materials produced in a cell. This can be compared to the rock Spongebob and Squidward used to deliver their pizza to the customer from the Krusty Krab.

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Cytoplasm

Cytoplasm is the gel like fluid that fills the cell and runs through it, which is similar to the water that surrounds the ocean and Bikini Bottom.

Cytoplasm

The Vacuoles

Vacuoles are storage compartments found in cells.The freezer and refrigerator holds and stores the food for the Krusty Krab just like the Vocuoles.

Vacuole

Lysosome

The Lysosome serves as a recycling center and disposal center for the cell. Like the Lysosome, Squidward and Spongebob are the ones who clean up and take care of the restaurant.

Lysosome

Centriole

The Centriole is involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell division. And like cell division, the cash register divided an keeps the money from all of the profit they get from selling their food.

Centriole

Ribosomes

Help the cell to function by making proteins for the cell and like The Krabby Patty, it helps the customers gain protein by consuming the Krabby Patty.

Ribosome

Chloroplasts

Chloroplasts are the food producer of the cell, Just like how Spongebob makes all of the Krabby patties and supplies them to the customers.

Chloroplast

Golgi Apparatus

Packages proteins inside the cell before they are sent to their destination.

Krusty Krab delivery is just like Golgi Apparatus because it packages and delivers the food the customers orders.

Golgi Apparatus

Mitochondrion

Where the cell gets it's energy. Food that we've digested reacts with oxygen in the mitochondrion to make energy for the cell.

Just like how the electricity in the Krusty Krab makes all of the appliances run efficiently.

Mitochondrion

Cell Wall

The definite walls orboundaries that is part of the outer structures of cells.

A comparison to this could be the walls separating the eating area, the kitchen, and Mr. Krabs' office because it separates the boundaries of the different areas of the restaurant.
