How is the Death Star is Similar to a Cell?

The Nucleus is like the....

The nucleus of a cell is like the Command Center of the Death Star. The Nucleus contains DNA, which holds information that needs to be transmitted throughout the cell. The Command center holds information that gets dolled out to other sectors. The DNA of a nucleus acts as a blueprint for the cell.

The Smooth E.R. is like the..

The Rough E.R. is like....

The Golgi Apparatus is like the...

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is like workers that create supplies that other people on the death star need. In a cell, the rough endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes proteins. On the death star, these workers produce important supplies that other people on the death star need.

The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum is like the Death Star kitchen. The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum synthesizes lipids in a cell. The Death Star kitchen produces food for people in the Death Star.

The Golgi Apparatus is like the Death Star's elevators. The Golgi Apparatus packages macromolecules and transports them to different locations in the cell. Elevators are meant to transport people from point A to point B, the death star elevators do just that.

The Mitochondria is like the...

The mitochondria of a cell is like the main reactor of the death star. In a cell, the mitochondria provides power for the entire cell. The main reactor, (conveniently located at the end of a tunnel that is easily breached by a single shot from an X-wing ship) provides power for the entire station.

The Cytoskeleton is like the...

The Cytoskeleton of a cell is like the Death Star's framework. The Cytoskeleton is what maintain's the shape of a cell. The Death Star's framework is what keeps it from collapsing on itself.

The Cell Membrane is like the...

The Death Star was the Empire's Super-space station during the original Star Wars movies. It is a testament to the power of the Galactic Empire. The Death Star is the base of operations for the Galactic Empire. It shares similarities to that of a cell; the building block of everything in the Universe, including the rebel troops....

The Cell Membrane is like the Death star's shield. The cell membrane prevents unwanted things from entering the cell and letting wanted things in the cells through protein channels. The Death Star's shield keeps unwanted things (rebel troops) out, yet lets necessary things in, such as friendly ships.

The Vacuole is like the...

Lysosomes are like....

The Vacuole is like the Death Star's tractor beam. The vacuole extends from the cell to drag a desired object back into the cell. The Death Star's tractor beam's job is to extend out from the station and drag objects such as ships or asteroids into the ship.

Lysosomes are like the Death Star's Trash compactor. Lysosomes have enzymes that allow for intercellular digestion, which works similar to a trash compactor. The Death Star's trash compactor breaks down used materials from the rest of the Death star.

The Nucleolus is like the...

The nucleolus of a cell is like Darth Vader. The nucleolus processes information from the nucleus and produces ribosomes, which transport that information to the rough E.R. Darth Vader is the one who takes information he gets from the command center and informs other people on the ship about it.

Cytosol is like...

Cytosol is like the air within the Death Star. Cytosol is the space between different parts of a cell. The air in the Death Star is the space in between the objects.
