–Cell Wall: surrounds the cell membrane of plant cells and provides strength and protection giving plants its shape (made up of cellulose).
Comparison: A shield protecting the user (cell)
Chloroplast: Contains chlorophyll organelles in plant cells; they have a vital role for plants since it initiates photosynthesis for plants, converts the suns energy into energy for the cell and gives plants its green color.
Comparison: Solar panel converting the suns light into energy for cities.
Vesicles: A thin walled sac filled with a fluid, fusing with other cell membranes and involving transporting, and enzyme storage in the plant cell.
Comparison: A storage room storing materials (enzymes).
Nucleus - The membrane center organelle within a cell that contains your chromosomes (DNA) and controls the whole cell.
Comparison: A boss of a company, they lead and direct the company (cell).
Nucleolus - made up of RNA and proteins and is where ribosomes are made (contained in the Nucleus)
Comparison: Builder manifacturer, builds components for the job (ribosomes)
Cell Membrane: It separates and protects the inner and outer cell from the outer environment (phospholipid bilayer), important for communication, and molecule recognition.
Comparison: A screen window, it lets bad things stay out by good things in like air.
Phospholipids play a major role in the cell memebrane creating a lipid bilayer acting as a barrier to keep to protect the cell from the outside environment.
Comparison: Materials that make up a sceen window.
Proteins: embedded in the bilayer helping cells to communicate, maintain their shape, and transport material into the cell.
Comparison: A security guard lets certan things in (specific materials in the cell).
Golgi Apparatus: a factory-like organelle in which proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted for transport across the cell.
Comparison: UPS truck shiping packages where they are needed (like protein).
Rough endoplasmic reticulum: Produces proteins for the cell to function. It has ribosomes on it.
Comparison: A highway (transports proteins to the cell).
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum: It synthesizes lipids, phospholipids, and steroids transporting it in the vesicles transporting to other parts of the cell.
Comparison: A pipeline transporting materials to the whole city.
Ribosomes: Made of both RNA and protein, and synthesizes amino acids into proteins. They are small round organelles.
Comparison: A factory producing items (proteins).
Cytoplasm: the gel liquid that fills the inside of a cell. It’s composed of water, salts, and other nutrient molecules, and some intracellular organelles, such the nucleus and mitochondria, are enclosed by membranes that separate them from the cytoplasm.
Comparison: Jelly in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (gel like liquid that fills up a cell).
Mitochondria: A cell bound to the membrane, generates most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions. Stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
Comparison: It's like a digestive system, breaking down food (glucose) for energy.
Lysosome: Membrane bound sacs, helping in digestion. They break down excess or worn-out cell parts and destroy invading viruses and bacteria.
Comparison: Garbage bins because they get rid of unwanted things inside the house (excess cell parts).
Vacuole: a membrane-bound cell organelle, they are small and vacuoles help maintain water balance. Can sometimes take up a lot of interior space in a plant cell.
Comparison: A water tower, stores water for the community (cell).
