Cell Analogy to Despicable Me
Cell Membrane
Carnival Barker is the cell membrane because he controls who can play in his arcade and who can not play in his arcade. Just like this organelle controls who can come in and out of the cell.
Chloroplast
Gru's gadgets help him survive and the shrink ray makes things smaller so he can steal them, just like this organelle uses energy from the sun to make food for the plant.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Jerry(one of the minions) is this organelle because he keeps the girls away from Gru.
Cytoplasm
Mr. Perkins is this organelle because he protects all of the people that have a bank account at his bank, similar to how this organelle protects other cell organelles.
Vacuoles
Ms. Hattie is this organelle because she helps orphans be part of a family just like these help plants maintain their shape.
Ribosomes
The minions represent this organelle because they help Gru and there are thousands of them inside of the lab, just like there are many of these inside of the cytoplasm.
Mitochondria
This organelle is Dr. Nefario because he makes Gru's machines and he controls them, just like this breaks down the sugar molecules and controls the energy.
Cell Wall
This organelle represents the guards in the beginning of Despicable Me, because they're protecting what they think is the pyramid...just like this protects and supports the cell.
Nucleus
This organelle resembles Gru because he controls everything.
Lysosome
Vector represents this organelle because he wants to be the best villan and he breaks down labs. Just like this breaks down larger food molecules into smaller ones, and gets rid of old cell parts.
