A Cell is like a School Cell Analogy Performance Task Cell Part Function Cell Wall Cell Wall provides a structural strength and support. It also provide a semi-permeable surface for molecules to pass in and out of the cell. School Part / Personnel School Gate Function Just like the CellWall, school gate acts as a protective barrier and shapes the perimeter of the school itself. Cell Part Function Cell Membrane Cell membranes are barriers that allowing certain substances into the cell while keeping other substances out. They are semi-permeable, which means that some molecules can diffuse across the lipid bilayer but others cannot. School Part / Personnel Doors of a School Function Door of a School also allows students to enter and exit the school just like the cell membrane. Cell Part Chloroplast Function Chloroplast convert light energy into relatively stable chemical energy via the photosynthetic process. School Part / Personnel Function Cafeteria Chloroplast makes food for the plant cells, just as the cafeteria produces and makes food for the school. Cell Part Chlorophyll Function Chlorophyll's job in a plant is to absorb light usually sunlight. This also gives the plant it’s green color. School Part / Personnel Function Canteen’s Kitchen The light that has been absorbed or money that the school have given will be transferred and cooked to give energy and food to the students. Cell Part Function Nucleus Nucleus stores the cell's hereditary material, or DNA, and it coordinates the cell's activities. School Part / Personnel Function The Principal controls and manages all of the school function’s just like the Nucleus. Cell Part Cytoplasm Function Cytoplasm is a jelly-like fluid that fills inside the cell. School Part / Personnel Function School’s gravity/air Cytoplasm is a fluid that fills the cell and holds all the organelles while the air and gravity surrounds the school and keep it in place. Cell Part Function Mitochondria Mitochondria provide most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell. School Part / Personnel Boiler Room Function Boiler Room provides energy to the school just like Mitochondria provides energy to the cell. Cell Part Function The nucleolus contains DNA, RNA, and proteins. This is where ribosome are made. School Part / Personnel Classroom Function The Nucleolus is like a classroom because the nucleolus forms ribosomes, like a classroom forms a student. Cell Part Function Ribosomes Ribosomes function as a micromachine for making proteins. School Part / Personnel Students Function Students produce events and beneficial activities for the school. Thus, students are ribosomes producing good or 'Proteins' for the cell or school. Cell Part Function Lysosomes Lysosomes job is degrading and recycling cellular waste, cellular signalling and energy metabolism. School Part / Personnel Function Garbage Cans Lysosomes get rids of unwanted substances like how school’s trash cans get rid of substances and wastes in school. Cell Part Golgi Bodies Function Golgi Bodies functions as factory. Where proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations. School Part / Personnel Function School Bus A school bus/school bus stop act as the transporting function for the school. The bus transports the kids which are the proteins to and from school. Cell Part Endoplasmic Reticulum Function Endoplasmic Reticulum serves many roles in the cell including calcium storage, protein synthesis and lipid metabolism. School Part / Personnel Function School’s Hallway Smooth and rough ER's are passageways that sends proteins throughout the cell while hallways are passageways that sends students throughout the school. Cell Part Function DNA DNA is a genetic material passed from parent to offspring. It serves as the information to direct and regulate the proteins needed for the cell to perform all of its functions. School Part / Personnel Function DNA contains genes which are instructions or needed for making proteins. School rules can be instructions for how to rule the students or proteins. Cell Part Function Nuclear Membrane Nuclear Membrane or Nuclear Envelope job is separating the contents of the nucleus from the cytoplasm and providing the structural framework of the nucleus. School Part / Personnel Main Office Door Function Like an office door at school, it controls what will enter and will not enter the nucleus. Cell Part Vacuoles Function Vacuoles function is to store substances. Either it is waste, harmful substances, or useful substances the cell will need later on. School Part / Personnel Function School Locker Like a Vacuole, School Locker also hold and stores substance or things whether this is useful or not.
