How a Cell is like a Restaurant - Veronica

Mandella
Plant Cell
Animal Cell
Nucleolus
The nucleolus of a cell is like the boss
of a restaurant.

The function of the nucleolus inside of

a cell is to contain and protect DNA as
well as direct all the activity of a cell's
organelles.

The function of the boss of a restaurant

is to direct and coordinate the
employees as well as pay bills and hire
people.
Nucleus
The nucleus of the cell is like the head
chef of the restaurant.

The function of the nucleus inside the

cell is to condense DNA and make
ribosomes.

The function of the head chef inside of

a restaurant is to direct all the cooks
and maybe the waiters.
Cytoplasm
The cytoplasm of the cell is like the air
that surrounds us.

The function of cytoplasm inside the

cell is to allow movement inside the
cell. It is a thick fluid outside the
nucleus.

The function of the air inside the

restaurant as well as all around us it to
let all living things breathe.
Lysosomes
Lysosomes are like cleaners inside of
the restaurant.

The function of lysosomes inside of the

cell is to remove waste using digestive
enzymes.

The function of cleaners inside of a

restaurant is to clean up the restaurant
and food waste after the restaurant is
closed.
Vacuoles
Vacuoles are like the refrigerator and
freezer inside of a restaurant.

The function of vacuoles inside of a

cell is to store H20, food, and
enzymes.

The function of refrigerators and

freezers inside of a restaurant is to
store food as well as keep it fresh and
to help it last longer.
Golgi Apparatus
The Golgi Apparatus is like the to - go
boxes inside of a cell.

The function of the Golgi Apparatus

inside of the cell is to sort and package
materials to send out of the cell.

The function of the to - go boxes inside

the restaurant is to allow customers to
take leftover food home.
Ribosomes
Ribosomes are like the cooks inside
the restaurant.

The function of ribosomes inside the

cell is to build protein.

The function of the cooks inside of the

restaurant is to prepare and make
meals for its customers.
Mitochondria
The Mitochondria is like the kitchen
inside of the cell.

The function of the mitochondria is to

transform food into useable energy.

The function of the kitchen is to be a

place for cooks to make raw food into
meals.
Rough
Endoplasmic
Reticulum
The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
( Rough ER) is like the occupied tables
in a restaurant.

The function of the Rough ER is where

lipids for the membrane and proteins
are assembled.

The function of tables at a restuarant is

to have a place for customers to sit
and enjoy their food.
Phospholipid
Bilayer
The Phospholipid Bilayer is like the
restaurant walls.

The function of the Phospholipid

Bilayer inside of the cell is to form a
barrier around all walls of the cell to
protect it.

The function of a wall in a restaurant is

to protect it and its customers from the
outside elements.
