cell analogy
concert thingy
The Nucleus
The nucleus is the part that holds on to all the information. It's like the management for the artist that is performing. They make all the rules, and make sure everything goes smoothly. They know whats going to happen before anyone else.
The Nucleolus
The nucleolus produces like the artist produces music. The ribosomes that are produced move out and move through the rough er like the music moves out and moves through the world.
mitochondria
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell like the artist is the powerhouse of the arena. The keep things alive, and they set the mood completely
The Cell Wall
When I think of the cell wall I think of the actual arena. The cell wall helps the cell keep its structure, and it helps keep certain things out of it. The arena is closed off and noting that shouldn't be in there is in there
Peroxisomes
The peroxisomes protect the cell from its own toxic hydrogen peroxide. It protects the cell from what its naturally produces. This is like security guards at a concert. They keep everything in order. They have already acknowledged what could happen, so they make sure nothing that's in the arena goes out of control.
Secretary Vesicle
The secretary vesicles are packaged in the Golgi apparatus. They are later transported to the cell surface for release. This is like the fireworks and flames on the stage. They are built up then the release over the surface of the stage
Vacuole
The vacuole in the plant cell regulates turgor pressure. It also stores nutrients and waste products. Theses kind of like the gate people at the concert. They regulate who comes in and out. They also store necessary information that people can get if they want.
Chloroplast
The chloroplast is responsible for giving the cell its color. It absorbs energy from sunlight. The energy in the chloroplast is used to turn water into sugars. These are like the people after the concert that try to sell the items that they already bought. They get something that would mean noting to them and turn it into a way to make money.
Cytosol
The cytosol in the cell is full of proteins that controls the cell's metabolism including signal transduction pathways and other things. This is like the traffic directors all around the arena. They control the roads and the people on it, and they make pathways for other people to get where they want to go more smoothly
Cell Membrane
The cell membrane acts as a protective barrier to the uncontrolled flow of water. The membrane is made more complex by the presence of numerous proteins that are crucial to the cell activity. This is like the gates around the concert. It's not as thick as the actual wall, but it's like an extra layer. It's the protective barrier to the uncontrolled people.
Ribosomes
The ribosomes have an important role in both eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells. They are the site of protein synthesis. They keep the cell going. This is like the fans of the artist. They make them who they are. They are the number one thing in the whole career
