Cell Analogy Worksheet 2013
The cell is like a _____________________________________.
Examples: City, school, football team….you pick but make sure you can make a link for each part.
For each cell part:
a. write the function of the organelle (what does it do in the cell??)
b. what “person/item” is the organelle like in your analogy? (e.g. nucleus is like Mayor in city)
c. what is the link? why are they similar? (e.g. nucleus and mayor both control system)
DIAGRAM: draw a diagram that helps explain your analogy (use color and descriptions!)
