A cell is like the bank By Kathleen A cell membrane • Is like the outside of a bank • Protects the cell, and keeps the money inside Cytoplasm • Is like the floor • Fills the cell and gives you a place to walk Lysosome • It is like a restroom • Breaks down molecuels and takes it down the toilet Mitochondria • Is like the tellers • Supplys energy for the cell and do the work ribosomes • Is like the air that is in the bank • Makes proteins for the cell and gives air to breath Endoplasmic reticulum • Is like the money • Makes room for the cells reactions and they send new money in . Golgi Body • Is like the vault • Carries proteins and holds the money Nuclear membrane • Is like the president of the banks office • Allows materials to pass in and out and lets people in his office Nucleus • Is like the president of the bank • Controls all cell activity and tells people when they don’t have to work chromosomes • Is ;like the bank records • A thread of DNA and tells you bank records
