The cell membrane controls the transport of materials in and out of the cell, cell recognition, communication, and homeostasis. Like car doors that control what and who enters the car.
The Nucleus is like the driver of the car. It controls all of the cars parts and functions and contains all of the information and directions needed to get from one place to the other, and complete the road trip. Just like the nucleus contains DNA that sends a certain code to the ribosomes using RNA.
The nucleolus is like the ECU (Engine Control Unit) in a car because it control's ribosome production, like the ECU controls functions such as headlights, gas level, and break lights that are needed when driving.
Ribosomes produce protein. This is like the engine, because the engine produces the force to move the car, like the ribosomes produce the proteins to force the cell to work.
The car battery Is the power source of the car. Just like the mitochondria is the power source of cells. It produces ATP energy that the cell requires to function, like a car requires electricity.
The Chloroplast is like the gas pedal because it provides the car with the force to move. Like the chloroplast provides the cell food to move. They both give the car and the cell energy to move.
The rough ER is like the fuel lines of a car. It is a channel for fuel to flow through like the ER is a channel for materials like proteins.
The carburetor of a car mixes gasoline and oxygen to create a highly combustible mixture for the car to run off of. Just like how the smooth ER creates lipids and hormones. The lipids then create ATP energy by splitting and becoming a sugar (glycerol) and a fatty acid. The Glycerol is used in the formation of ATP energy which makes the cell run like the mixture that the carburetor makes to help the car run.
The vacuole is like the gas tank because it stores the gas for the car like the vacuole stores food, water, and waste in the cell.
The Golgi Body is like a fuel pump. The fuel pump pushes fuel to the carburetor like the Golgi Body packages materials and sends them around the cell,
The cell wall is for protection, structure and support. This is like the body of the car. If the car had no body there would be no support, protection and structure.
The frame of a car is like the cytoplasm of a cell. The car frame holds every structure together and contains all the car parts like the cytoplasm does in a cell as well as transports materials from on organelle to the other.
The Lysosome functions with cellular digestion, auto digestion or disposal of damaged cell, and breakdown of a whole cell (by releasing the contents into the cytoplasm). Which is like the exhaust pipe because the exhaust pipe removes un-needed toxic gases.
Cilia and Flagella are extremely rarely found in plant cells, but when they are, the wheels of a car are like the cilia or flagella of a cell. They are controlled by the driver much like flagella and cilia are controlled by the nucleus, and are necessary for the car or cell to get anywhere.
The creation of proteins is like getting to our final destination.
The nucleus sends a particular code to the ribosomes using RNA, the ribosomes are where protein synthesis takes place. The driver of our car is like the nucleus because by turning the key, it sends a code to the engine telling it to start. And the fuel lines of the car are like the rough ER because they transport fuel needed by the engine to move and complete the trip, like a cell needs the rough ER to transport materials and host ribosomes which carry out protein synthesis. Finally the cell membrane recognizes the proteins and allows it to exit the cell, like the doors of a car allow you to exit the car and get to your destination!
