Cell Model Analogy with Highlights of the Cell Membrane and the Macromolecules that Makes
it All Possible!
Due Date: Wednesday and Thursday September 4th and 5th, 2013
Standard: SB1 Students will analyze the nature of the relationships between structures and functions in living cells.
Directions: Using at least a 22x28 inch standard poster board, draw/sketch/trace a picture of an animal cell on your poster. Draw and label all
parts of the cell: cell membrane, cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, mitochondria, centrioles, vacuoles, rough endoplasmic reticulum, smooth endoplasmic
reticulum, golgi body—also known as golgi complex and golgi apparatus, ribosomes, vesicles, lysosomes, nucleus, and nucleolus. When
highlighting the cell membrane be sure to show the phospholipid bilayer, proteins, cholesterol, and carbohydrates embedded in its membrane as
well as the nucleic acid molecules in the nucleus, these parts will also be labeled.
Next you will list the main function of each structure in the cell as well as those that make up the cell membrane. After which you will create an
analogy (comparison) between the cell structure and an everyday object or job that a person might do that has a similar function or use. Be sure
to explain your reasoning behind your analogy. For example: The nucleus is the brain of the cell because it controls and coordinates the activities
of the whole cell in the same way the brain controls and coordinates the activities of the body. Be creative and thorough!
