Restaurant Cell Analogy
Ribosomes
- protein synthesizers of the cell
- ribosomes are represented by chefs because they prepare the food for the restaurant.
Cell Membrane
Vacuole
- stores food, water, and etc.
- since the refrigerator and cabinets of the kitchen store items for the restaurant, they represent the vacole
- allows certain substances to enter and exit the cell
- this is like the main doors of the building, which allow people to come in and eat and leave when they finish
Lysosome
- dispose of waste and break down food components (proteins, carbohydrates, fats, etc.)
- dumpsters are like lysosomes because they get rid of unnecessary food and trash
Nucleus
Nuclear Pores
- control center of a cell
- the manager's office represents the nucleus because it is where everything in the restaurant is controlled from.
- allow the transport of molecules across nuclear envelope
- a fax machine located in the office is like a nuclear pore because it allows documents and information to be sent and received.
Mitochondria
Golgi Apparatus
- source of energy for the cell, produces ATP
- the generator of the restaurant is an analogy for the mitochondria because it provides power to run it.
restaurant cell analogy
- sort, package, and process proteins
- the waiter staff represent it because they transport food from the kitchen and serve them to the right tables.
Smooth ER
- For my analogy, I decided to use a restaurant to represent the entire cell.
- I am representing an animal cell.
- processes toxins, regulates calcium ions and produces lipids
- cooking food is like SER because it ensures that food is properly prepared for people to consume.
Chromatin
- packages DNA for mitosis/meiosis
- chromatin are represented by the business files and licenses a restaurant needs to open more locations. mitosis is a form of cellular reproduction, which results in more of the same cell (restaurant).
Nuclear Envelope
- controls what goes in and out of nucleus
- it is like the door of the manager's office because nothing can enter or exit the office without going through the door.
Rough ER
Cytoskeleton
Nucleolus
- gives the cell shape and helps organize the cell's parts
- the building and walls of a restaurant represent the cytoskeleton because they give it shape and structure in the same way
- site of ribosomes, helps maintain protein homeostasis
- the area where food is left for waiters is like the RER because it helps organize food until they can be transported.
- contains instructions for making ribosomes
- could be represented by the main chef of a restaurant because it produces ribosomes, which in turn produce proteins, and it is important enough work directly through the manager.
