US Cell Analogy

Cell Membrane-Border Patrol

Cell Membrane- Controls what goes in and out of the cell. Border Patrol- Controls what people come in the USA. Both control what comes in

Cell Wall-Borders

Cell Wall- A stiff wall that surrounds the cell Borders- Surrounds the US of A and is stiff and rigid Both are tough and durable

Chloroplast-Farm Land

Chloroplast- Uses energy from the sun to make food Farm Land- Grows crops to feed the country. Both produce energy source

Cytoplasm-Towns/Cities

Cytoplasm- Fills up the cell and holds it together Towns/Cities- Fills up the U.S.A. Both fill something up

Endoplamic Reticulum-Interstates/Highways

Endoplasmic Reticulum- Long Passageways for nutrients to travel through the cell Interstates/Highways- People to travel to different places Both allow for easy transportation

Golgi Body- U.S.P.S

Golgi Body- Special delivery system for the cell U.S.P.S.- Delivery system for the country Both deliver to somewhere

Lysosomes-Waste Mangement

Lysosomes- Breaks down molecules and disposes them Waste Management- Disposes of waste/garbage Both dispose of waste

Mitochondria-Farmers

Mitochondria -Most of cells energy comes from it Farmers- Grow food/energy for living animals Both provide an energy source

Nucleus-Washington D.C.

Nucleus- Controls the cell Washington D.C.- Controls the U.S. of A. Both are main control centers

Ribosomes- Food Factories

Ribosomes- Produce proteins for the cell Food Factories- Produce food for humans Both produce energy

Vacuole-The Great Lakes

The Great Lakes- Stores water and food until heterotrophs need it Vacuole- Holds food/energy and water for the cells Both are storage areas
