How is a cell like a city analogy?
A cell can be compared to a city! Each part of the cell has its own function or purpose. The parts of the cell can be compared to the parts of a city based on their similar purpose.
What would lysosomes be in a city?
Lysosome. The lysosomes would be the recycling and waste disposal center in cell city. They have an important role in cells which is to digest things like worn out organelles, bacteria, and food. Each lysosome contains digestive enzymes used to break down food and waste material.
How does a cell relate to a city?
The nucleus controls all of the activities of the cell as city hall controls all the activities in of the city. 2. The cell membrane is a thin, flexible envelope that surrounds the cell. The cell membrane controls what goes into and out of the cell as the city limits control what goes in and out of the city.
What part of a city is like the cytoplasm?
The cytoplasm would be like the lawns in a city because they act like the fluid that fills a cell, its function is to contains all organelles and cell parts. The energy plants of charlotte would be the mitochondria of the city. Both the Golgi apparatus and UPS package and ship things throughout the city or cell.
What is the best analogy for a cell?
Cell Analogy Project Ideas
- Cells are Like Schools. The hard exterior of a school building keeps it standing like a cell wall does in a plant cell.
- Cells are Like Cities.
- Cells are Like Cars.
- Cells are Like Zoos.
What part of a city is like the rough ER?
The rough endoplasmic reticulum is the part of the ER that helps make proteins and has a rough look to it because of the ribosomes found on its surface….
| City Part | Function | Cell Part |
|---|---|---|
| Parks, grass, trees | fills the space between structures in a city and gives a city its shape | -Cytoplasm |
What does a cell wall represent in a city?
| Cell Part | City Analogy | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| K. Vacuole | Storage Facility – boxes, crates, and plastic bags | Stores food and waste |
| L. Chloroplast | Green grass within the city | Where photosynthesis takes place |
| M. Cell Wall | Brick wall surrounding city | Gives shape, structure, support, and protection |
What generates power for the city?
The power stations of the cell are called mitochondria and the most common fuel that they consume is sugar (glucose). In this case the energy generated is passed on, not as electricity, but as small universal molecules called ATP (the energy source of the molecule).
What is a endoplasmic reticulum like in real life?
Thee proteins on the ribosomes collect in the Endoplasmic Reticulum to help transport the proteins throughout the cell. It is responsible for protein synthesis. A real life example of the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum would be traffic on a highway.
How are cilia and flagella similar in analogy?
Flagella is slender and whip like appendage that allows for the movement of liquids past the surface of the cell. I compared this to the ambulance which transports injured and sick people into the hospital. Cilia are the little hairs that allow liquids to pass through the cell.
What does a flagella do to a cell?
Flagella (Cilia) The flagella are like the cars of the city. They help to move things around with quick, vibrating motions. The whip-like motion produced by flagella help to move the cell and substances on the cell.
How is a cell similar to a city?
A cell and a city are very similar. There are many similarities between a cell’s structure and a city. 1. Nucleus = City Hall: they are both the controlling forces in the cell/city. 2. Cytoplasm = Atmosphere: the main substance of the city/cell that takes up all the space. It surrounds the buildings/organelles.
How is a flagella similar to a brick wall?
I compared this to the hospital’s inside walls made of bricks because it is what gives the hospital shape and stabilizes the whole structure for all that is inside of it. Flagella is slender and whip like appendage that allows for the movement of liquids past the surface of the cell.
