Yellow Brick Road and Cytoplasm
Yellow Brick Road and Cytoplasm
The Yellow Brick Road in the movie "Wizard of Oz" represents the cytoplasm present in an animal cell. The cytoplasm is placed all throughout the cell, surrounding the other organelles (Ribosome, Vacuole, Mitochondira, etc.). The Yellow Brick Road serves the same purpose. It goes throught all the Land of Oz and surrounds all of the other locations (Emerald City, Munchkin Country, Deadly Desert, etc.). This shows that the Yellow Brick road and the cytoplasmhave a simalarity and the cytoplasm is the 'Yellow Brick Road' of the cell.
Yellow Brick Road
In the movie "The Wizard of Oz" the Yellow Brick Road is a road which spreads through all the Land of Oz.
Yellow Brick Road
Cytoplasm
The material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the nucleus; the fluid that fills the cell.
Cytoplasm
Gatekeeper and Cell Membrane
The Gatekeeper in the movie "Wizard of Oz" represents the cell membrane present in an animal cell. The cell membrane protects the cell and communicates. It also allows certain sunstances to get in and blocks others out. The Gatekeeper serves the same purpose. He only allows certain people to enter the Emerald City and pushes others away, preventing them from coming in. This shows that the Gatekeeper and the cell membrane have a simalarity and the cell membrane is the 'Gatekeeper' of the cell.
Gatekeeper
The Gatekeeper is the person at Emerald City who allows certain people in to see the Wizard and sends others away.
Cell Membrane
The semipermeable membrane surrounding and protecting the cytoplasm of a cell. It allows certain substances to come in and certain substances to stay out.
Horse of a Different Color and Golgi Apperatus
The Horse of a Different Color in the movie "Wizard of Oz" represents the Golgi Apperatus present in an animal cell. The Golgi Apperatus stores and ships protien for transport. The Horse of a Different Color serves the same purpose but instead of transporting protiens, he transports people. He lives in the Emereld City and moves people throughout it. This shows that the Horse of a Different Color and the Golgi Apperatus have a simalarity and the Golgi Apperatus is the 'Horse of Different Color' of the cell.
Horse of a Different Color
The color changing horse which moves people throughout the Emereld City.
Horse of a Different Color
Golgi Apperatus
It receives proteins and lipids (fats) from the rough endoplasmic reticulum. It modifies some of them and sorts, concentrates and packs them into sealed droplets called vesicles.
Golgi Apperatus
Emerald City and Mitochondria
Emerald City and Mitochondria
The Emerald City in the movie "Wizard of Oz" represents the Mitochondria present in an animal cell. The Mitochondria is the power house of the cell and is the site of cellular resperation (ATP/adenosine triphosphate). The Emerald City serves the same purpose but instead of converting biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate, it converts people (Scarecrow, Lion, Tin Man, Dorthy, etc.) into better versions of themselves. This shows that the Emerald City and the Mitochondria have a simalarity and the Mitochondria is the 'Emerald City' of the cell.
Emerald City
The Emerald City is the main part in the Land of Oz and where the Wizard stays.
Mitochondria
Power house of the cell; rod-shaped organelles that can be considered the power generators of the cell, converting oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
The Wicked Witch of the West and Ribosome
The Wicked Witch of the West in the movie "Wizard of Oz" represents the Ribosome present in an animal cell. The Ribosome is the site of protien synthesis. Wicked Witch of the West serves the same purpose but instead of making protiens, she 'makes' (has) Winged Monkeys. She used these Monkeys to attack Dorthy and her friends. This shows that The Wicked Witch of the West and Ribosomes have a simalarity and the Ribosomes are the "Wicked Witch of the West's" of the cell.
The Wicked Witch of the West
The Wicked Witch of the West
The Wicked Witch of the West is the sister to The Wicked Witch of the East who the house fell on. She owns Winged Monkeys ain which she uses to attack people.
Ribosome
Site of protein synthesis; a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins, found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells. They bind messenger RNA and transfer RNA to synthesize polypeptides and proteins.
Munchkin Country and Vacuole
Munchkin Country and Vacuole
Munchkin Country in the movie "Wizard of Oz" represents the Vacuole present in an animal cell. The Vacuole is used for storage for fluid. Munchkin Country serves the same purpose but instead of storing fluid, it stores Munchkins. This is where the Munchkins are stored (where they live). This shows that Munchkin Country and Vacuole have a simalarity and the Vacuole is the 'Munchkin Country' of the cell.
Munchkin Country
This is where all of the munchkins live and spend their lives.
Munchkin Country
Vacuole
A space or vesicle within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid; storage.
Vacuole
The Wizard of Oz and Nucleus
The Wizard of Oz in the movie "Wizard of Oz" represents the Nucleus present in an animal cell. The Nucleus is the 'brain', controls all cell functions and contains DNA. The Wizard of Oz serves the same purpose but instead of controling all cell funtions, he controls the people in the Land of Oz. He is known and praised all throughout Oz. This shows that The Wizard of Oz and the Nucleus have a simalarity and the Nucleus are the "Wizard of Oz's" of the cell.
The Wizard of Oz
The Wizard of Oz is a very big deal in the Land of Oz. He is a secret because nobody has ever met him. People look up to him becuase he can supposedly solve their problems.
Nucleus
The Nucleus is the 'brain' of the cell. It contains DNA and controls all cell functions.
Glinda the Good Witch and Smooth ER
Glinda the Good Witch and Smooth ER
Glinda the Good Witch in the movie "Wizard of Oz" represents the Smooth ER present in an animal cell. The Smooth ER makes lipids. Glinda the Good Witch serves the same purpose but instead of making lipids, she makes (has) Munchkins. All of the Munchkins love her. This shows that Glind the Good Witch and the Smooth ER have a simalarity and the Smooth ER are the "Glinda the Good Witch's" of the cell.
Glinda the Good Witch
She is the good witch and the Wicked Witches hate her but everyone else loves her.
Smooth ER
The Smooth ER (endoplasmic reticulum) makes lipids and is an organelle found in both animal cells and plant cells. An organelle is a sub-unit within a cell that has a specialized function. The main function of the smooth ER is to make cellular products like hormones and lipids.
The Tornado and Lysosome
The Tornado in the movie "Wizard of Oz" represents the lysosome present in an animal cell. The Lysosome recycles the cells organic material. The Tornado serves the same purpose but instead of recyling organic materials, it 'recycles' Dorthy's house and put it in the Land of Oz, making it something new. This shows that The Tornado and the Lysosome have a simalarity and the Lysosome is the "Tornado" of the cell.
The Tornado
The tornado takes Dorthy and Todo from Kansas to Oz.
The Tornado
Lysosome
The lysosome recycles and is an organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane.
The Land of Oz and Cytoskeleton
The Land of Oz in the movie "Wizard of Oz" represents the Cytoskeloton present in an animal cell. The Cytoskeloton helps give the cell its shape and organize cell parts. The Cytoskeloton serves the same purpose but instead of giving the cell its shape, it is the shape of Oz. Instead of He is known and praised all throughout Oz. This shows that The Wizaorganizing cell parts, it organizes all of the places inside it (Munchkin Country, Emerald City. etc.). The Land of Oz and the Cytoskeloton have a simalarity and the Cytoskeleton are the "Land of Oz's" of the cell.
The Land of Oz
The Land of Oz is all of Oz and includes all the places inside.
The Land of Oz
Cytoskeleton
The cytoskeleton of a cell is made up of microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments. These structures give the cell its shape and help organize the cell's parts. In addition, they provide a basis for movement and cell division.
