Cell Analogy Worksheet
The Cell is like a _____________________________________
(Examples: City, school, football team…you pick but make sure you can make a link for all the organelles listed)
For each cell organelle
1. Write the function of the organelle (what does it do in the cell?)
Example: The nucleus is the control center of a cell
2. What “person/item” is the organelle like in your analogy?
Example: The nucleus is like the Mayor in the City
3. What is the LINK? (why are they similar?)
Example: The Mayor and the nucleus both act as control centers
On the back – draw a picture the helps explain your analogy (use color and descriptions)
