PERIOD 3
Nucleus: control center of the cell

Coach: control center of the team
Cell Membrane: WHERE THINGS
ENTER AND LEAVE THE CELL
SIDELINES: WHERE THINGS ENTER AND LEAVE THE FOOTBALL FIELD
Endoplasmic
Reticulum: passage
ways where cellular
materials travel
HOLES ON THE OFFENSIVE LINE: WHERE THE
RUNNING BACKS RUN UP THE FIELD
Ribosomes: makes
proteins in the cell
Quarterback: makes plays happen
Golgi Apparatus:
transports and
modifies proteins
OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR: MAKES AND
MODIFIES OFFENSIVE PLAYS
Mitochondria: converts
food into energy
RUNNING BACK: CONVERTS PASSES INTO
RUNNING PLAYS
Vacuole: holds food
and other nutrients
PLAYS: TELL PLAYERS WHAT AND HOW TO DO
THINGS
Chloroplasts:
produces food for
cell
DEFENSE: PRODUCES TACKLES FOR TEAM
Cell wall: protects the
cell
OFFENSIVE LINE: PROTECTS THE
