The Cell as a Restaurant
#6 - Lysosome
- Function - Clears waste material from cell
- Lysosome is like the custodian in a restaurant.
- Lysosome clears waste from the cell, and a custodians job is to clean the dining room, washrooms, kitchen and take out the trash.
#4 - Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Function: helps in the making of protein and transport them to the Golgi Apparatus.
- The kitchen in the restaurant is like the Endoplasmic reticulum.
- The kitchen has a part in making the food (protein) with the chefs (ribosomes), just like the ER works together with the ribosomes to make protein.
#5 - Vacuole
#1 - Nucleus
- Function - Controls everything, the brain of the cell.
- The owner of the restaurant is like the nucleus.
- The owner of the restaurant controls everything and everyone in the restaurant just like the nucleus, the control center, controls everything that happens in the cell.
- Function - Stores water, food and waste
- The Vacuole is similar to the fridge in a restaurant.
- A fridge is used to store all kinds of food and drinks and a vacuole is used in the same way, to store food and water.
Introduction
#7 - Golgi Apparatus
- Function - Packages and ships fat and protein.
- The Golgi Apparatus is like the waiters/waitresses.
- The chefs (ribosomes) and the kitchen (ER) both have a part in the process of making the food (protein) for the customers. Then the waiters/waitresses take orders and bring out the food (protein) for the customers, just like how the Golgi apparatus ships protein
- The Cell is like a restaurant. For my cell analogy I chose a restaurant because I believe it is a great way to help you have a better understanding of a cells organelles their functions.
#8 - Cytoplasm
#3 - Ribosomes
- Function - Makes protein
- The Chefs are like ribosomes.
- They make the food which has protein, just how ribosomes create protein.
- Function - allows organelles to move around in the cell
- The Cytoplasm in a cell is like the dining room in a restaurant.
- The dining room allows customers and waiters/waitresses to move around, just how the cytoplasm allows other organelles to shift.
#2 - Cell Membrane
- Function - Outer layer of the cell. Protects what's inside and shapes the cell.
- The cell membrane is like the building and walls of the restaurant.
- The building and walls protect the restaurant and customers from bad weather and it also gives shape to the restaurant.
