MY SCHOOL IS LIKE A CELL

BIOLOGY 2 CLASSMARESHA FRANCIS

PLASMA MEMBRANE= ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT Just like the Administrative assistant

controls what enters and leaves the school, so the plasma membrane regulates what leaves and enters the cell.

PRINCIPAL=NUCLEUS Just like the principle directs all

operations that go on in the school, so the nucleus controls all cell activities.

SCHOOL FLOOR=CYTOPLASM

Just like the school floor holds all the desks and every thing that’s on it, so the cytoplasm is were all the organelles and activities are found.

CAFETERIA WORKER=ER Just like the cafeteria kitchen is the

place were the workers do their job making food, so the Endoplasmic reticulum is the place were the ribosome's do their job of assembling proteins.

JANITOR=LYSOSMES Just like the

janitors clean up all the trash around the school and recycles the things that can still be used, so the lysosomes break down the cell waste so the different parts can be reused.

BUILDING=CYTOSKELETON Just like the support beams, walls,

ceilings, floors, bricks, and cement support the school building, so the cytoskeleton supports and maintains the shape of the cell.

BUSES=CENTRIOLE Just like the buses drive kids to and from

school, so the centrioles is were microtubles carry out transportation.

TEACHER=NUCLEOLUS Just like the teacher directs the students

into the auditorium for an assembly, so the nucleolus directs the assembly of proteins with in the cell nucleus.

LUNCH=MITOCHONDRIA Just like the lunch provides the students

with energy to do there work, so the mitochondria are the source of ATP that is used for energy in cell processes.
