Nucleus

The nucleus can be found in both animal and plant cells.

The nucleus controls all cell functions in the cell.

Something that performs the same function would be the brain of the human body because it controls all things the body does, like the nucleus. Another thing that performs the same functions is the principal of the school. I think this because the principal makes all of the decisions of a school and keeps it in shape, like the nucleus does for a cell.

Nucleolus

The nucleolus could be found in both animal and plant cells.

The nucleolus has a round structure and is located in the nucleus of a cell. It is involved in the formation of ribosome and the site of protein synthesis.

Something that would perform the same function as a nucleolus is a printer/copier because it duplicates documents, like the nucleolus duplicates and makes ribosome.

Cell Membrane

The cell membrane could be found in both animal and plant cells.

In the cell, the cell membrane gives the cell shape, holds the cytoplasm, and controls what moves in and out of the cell.

Something that performs the same function as a cell membrane would be a cookie cutter. I think this because it gives cookies their shape, like the cell membrane does.

Cytoplasm

The cytoplasm can be found in both the plant and animal cells.

In the cell, the cytoplasm is where chemical reactions happens and it stabilizes organelles

Something that performs the same function as a cytoplasm would be the ground. I think this because it keeps all of the structures on top of it stable, like the cytoplasm does for a cell.

Ribosome

The ribosome could be found in both the animal and plant cells.

The main function of the ribosome is to make protein for a cell.

Something performs the same function as a ribosome is meat. I think this because, like the ribosome, it helps give protein to humans when they consume it.

Mitochondria

The mitochondria are found only in animal cells.

In the cell, the mitochondria produce energy.

Something that performs the same function as mitochondria is a nuclear power plant. I think this because it also produces energy, like the mitochondria does.

Vacuole

The vacuole can be found in both plant and animal cells.

The vacuole is filled with liquid. It stores food, water, minerals and waste

Something that performs the same functions as a vacuole would be the stomach. I think this because it stores food and water, just like the vacuole.

Golgi Body

The Golgi body can be found in both animal and plant cells.

In the cell, the Golgi body surrounds cell molecules in lipids so that they can be used in the cell.

Something that performs the same function as a Golgi Body is a post office. I thin this because a post office packages and distributes goods, just like the

Golgi Body does.

Rough ER

The Rough ER can be found in both plant and animal cells.

The Rough ER’s role in a cell is to transport chemicals in the cell.

Something that performs the same function as a Rough ER is a subway. I think this because a subway transports people, just like the Rough ER transports chemicals through the cell.

Smooth ER

The Smooth ER can be found in both animal and plant cells.

The Smooth ER‘s job in the cell is to synthesize chemicals in a cell. It also stores steroids and ions.

Something that performs the same function as a

Smooth ER is a bank account. I think this because the smooth ER stores steroids and ions, just like a bank account stores money.

Lysosome

Cell Wall

The lysosome can be found in only animal cells.

The lysosome’s duty in a cell is to break down materials taken into the cell and old cell parts.

A decomposer is something that performs the same function as a lysosome. I think this because it helps break down dead plants and animals, just like the lysosome breaks down cell materials.

The cell wall is found in only plant cells.

In the cell, the cell wall provides support and keeps its shape.

Something that has the same function as a cell wall is a wall in a house. The wall in a home helps support the foundation of the house, just like a cell wall does for a cell.

Chloroplast

The chloroplast is found only in plant cells.

The chloroplast conducts photosynthesis and other chemical reactions. It also captures the sun energy and contains a green pigment.

Something that performs the same function as a chloroplast is a greenhouse. I think this because it also captures the sun’s energy.
