Cell Analogy Poster Or Model DUE December 7

Cell Analogy Poster or Model DUE December 7

NAME:______PER: ______To gain better understanding of the functions of each cell part and process, you will be constructing a cell analogy poster. In this poster you will relate the ANIMAL or PLANT CELL to another system we see in everyday life. Examples would be a school, castle, factory, ocean, etc. Each structure within the cell will also have to relate to something within the system chosen.

If the ANIMAL or PLANT CELL was like a K I N G D O M then…

the… would be… because… The nucleus controls the cell’s functions and contains DNA. The castle Nucleus The castle controls the kingdom and contains the queen. DNA contains the instructions for making proteins and enzymes, which DNA The Queen repair the cell and drive cell processes. The queen’s brain contains all the information needed to make decisions to run the kingdom. The artisans make and build items such as carts, houses, and bread that are necessary for the kingdom to function. In the same way, ribosomes in the Ribosomes The artisans cell make molecules to repair the cell and enzymes to control cellular reactions.

This text will then need to be made in to a poster (or model) illustrating the kingdom with a castle, a queen, and artisans.

What does a quality analogy look like? To get full credit for each analogy, think about this:  Does the analogy for this structure/process make sense? Are the two things truly comparable?  Does the illustration reflect my explanation?

Please choose ONE type of cell (plant or animal), and check off each organelle as you add it in your chart:

Plant Cell Animal Cell  Nucleus Mitochondria  Nucleus Mitochondria  Vacuole Cell Membrane Cell Membrane Cytoskeleton  Cell Wall Ribosomes Ribosomes  Vacuole  Chloroplast Endoplasmic reticulum Cytoplasm  Lysosomes  Golgi Body  Golgi Body  Cytoplasm  Endoplasmic reticulum  *NOTE* A few of the organelles may require additional research from sources other than just your textbook. Due to Murphy’s Law, (and in order to avert technical difficulties, computer glitches, time warps, black holes, gremlins, natural and unnatural disasters) please do not wait until the last minute to complete or print your project.
