Cell Organelles
Introduction to Cell
Organelles
Nucleus
FUNCTION
Controls
the cell
and contains its
genetic material
(DNA)
Nucleus
ANALOGY
The
nucleus is like
the club owner
because they
control what
happens in the
club.
Cell Membrane
FUNCTION
The
semipermeable
membrane of
the cell that
lets materials
in or out
Cell Membrane
ANALOGY
The
cell
membrane is
like a bouncer
because it only
lets certain
things in or out
Mitochondria
FUNCTION
To
process
nutrients and
oxygen into
energy
Mitochondria
ANALOGY
The
mitochondria
are like a dj
because they play
music to give the
club energy
Lysosome
FUNCTION
To
digest and
break down
materials in the
cell
Lysosome
ANALOGY
The
lysosomes are
like the people
dancing in the
clubthey have
one purpose: to
break it down!
Cytoplasm
FUNCTION
The
fluid that
fills the cell
and supports
the organelles
Cytoplasm
ANALOGY
The
cytoplasm
is like the
crowd during
crowd surfing.
Vacuoles
FUNCTION
To
store
materials for the
cell
Ex:
nutrients,
water, waste, etc.
Vacuole
ANALOGY
The
vacuoles are
like closets or
storage rooms.
They can be used
to store many
things.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
FUNCTION
To
package
and deliver
materials
needed to
make proteins
Endoplasmic Reticulum
ANALOGY
The
Ribosomes
FUNCTION
To
build
proteins for the
cell and
organism
Ribosomes
ANALOGY
The
ribosomes are
like chefs because
they combine
delivered
ingredients to make
complex dishes
(proteins)
Golgi Bodies
FUNCTION
Sends
the
proteins where
they are needed
Golgi Bodies
ANALOGY
The
Golgi Bodies
are like
server/waiter
because they take
the dishes
(proteins) where
they need to go
Classwork/Homework:
Make your own illustrated set of analogies for
the organelles inside an animal cell, and you
must include:
Name & function of each organelle!
Illustration for each organelle we covered in
class!
Explanation of the analogy!
