UNIT 3: The Cell DAYSHEET 31: Cellular Organelle Analogies

Name: _______________________________

Biology I
Date: __________________

Bellringer An analogy shows the relationship between two words and allows us to make a comparison. For example, Our Government is Like a School GOVERNMENT PART President ANALOGOUS SCHOOL PART Principal EXPLANATION The President controls the whole country, and the principal controls the whole school

State Governors

Assistant Principals

State Representative

Teachers

Citizens

Students

The Military

The School Safety Officers

Can you think of any of your own analogies? _______________________________ is like a _____________________________ because.

_______________________________ is like a _____________________________ because.

Activity 1: Brainpop Video Clip Directions: 1. During the video, look for the analogies between the parts of the cell and the parts of the factory 2. After the video, explain why the video made these analogies

CELL PART

ANALOGOUS FACTORY PART

EXPLANATION

Nucleus

Mitochondrion

Vacuole

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Activity 2: A Cell Is Like A Classroom Directions: 1. Find the cell part in the classroom 2. Write down the classroom part that is analogous to that part of the cell 3. Write an explanation for why that classroom part is analogous to that part of the cell

CELL PART

ANALOGOUS CLASSROOM PART

Wall

EXPLANATION
Both provide support and protection

Cell Wall

Cell Membrane

Nucleus

Cytoplasm

Mitochondrion

Lysosome

Vacuole

Activity 3: Cell Analogy Project! A CELL IS LIKE A ___________________________ (you fill in the blank) 1.Choose Six X 2.Cell Part Nucleus
(control center of the cell)

3.Analogous Part

4.Explanation Compare columns 2 & 3

Mitochondria
(produces energy)

Endoplasmic Reticulum
(passageways within cell)

Golgi Body
(packages materials for transport out of the cell)

Ribosomes
(make proteins using the DNAs instructions)

Vacuoles
(storage)

DNA
(instructions controlling the cell)

Cell Membrane
(controls what enters and exits the cell)

Cell Wall
(provides support and protection)

Cytoplasm
(filling of the cell)

Lysosome
(gets rid of waste)

Chloroplast
(uses energy from the sun to make food)

HW31: Cell Organelles Name_________________________________

Biology I Date ____________________________

Directions: Fill in the blanks with the correct cell organelle The 1._______________________, like the boss in a factory, is the part of the cell that controls all of the cells functions. This cell part controls the cell because it contains the cells entire DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Without the help of 2. ________________________, very small structures that help assemble proteins, the DNA that controls the cell would be of no use. Proteins and other molecules are transported throughout the cell on the 3. _________________ _________________ like the assembly lines of a factory. Once the proteins are assembled, they are sorted and packaged by the 4. ____________ ____________so that they can be sent out of the cell to other parts of the organism that need them. If any molecules are no longer needed by the cell, the 5.___________________________ will take care of them by digesting and breaking them down, like the trash center of a factory. If the cell wants to save materials for later, it can store them in the 6. _____________________. In order to stay healthy, cells need to be able to control what exits and enters the cell from the surrounding environment. Cells need to bring in materials, like oxygen, water, and food, and get rid of waste. In both plant and animal cells, the 7.________ ______________ helps the cell accomplish this task. The cell itself needs support and structure. In plant cells, the 8._______ _______ also provides structure and support, making plant cells very boxy, and is located just outside the cell membrane. No cell can do all these things without some energy! Plant cells have an important organelle called a 9._____________________ that turns sunlight into food for the plant. Animals cant make their own food, but instead eat other organisms to get food. Then, in both plant and animal cells, the 10._______________________ converts food into energy for the cell!
