A Cell and a Football Team

A Cell and a Football Team

• By Browning Becherer

The First Half

• The Animal Cell

The Animal Cell

• The cell is what makes every living thing. Such
  as plants, people, and animals. Since
  scientifically we are animals, we have animal
  cells. The animal cell has 10 parts, but I will
  only cover the main 5 in this presentation.

The Nucleus

• The Nucleus
• The Nucleus is like the brain of the cell it
  tells each part (or team member) what to do. It
  is the command center of the cell. It controls
  all of the cells activities and calls all the
  shots.

• The Head Coach
• The Head Coach of a football team has a big
  responsibility. It has to call all the plays and
  has to tell each player who watch, who to hit and
  is basically the command center of a football
  team.

The Cytoplasm

• The Cytoplasm
• The Cytoplasm is a jellylike substance found
  almost anywhere in the cell. Chemical reactions
  take place in the Cytoplasm. You could say it is
  like the team trainer because it holds everything
  on top of it. The mitochondria has the fuel, but
  it is on top of the Cytoplasm. Sort of how the
  team trainer houses all the medical equipment and
  Gatorade

• The Team Trainer
• The Team Trainer is basically the team medic.
  The trainer takes care of injuries and if someone
  gets sick, it is the trainers job. They supply
  the Gatorade (energy) to the players and the
  coaches and they make sure the team is healthy
  and ready to play on Sunday. The team trainer
  also houses all the stuff needed to make sure the
  team can communicate, heal battle wounds, and
  various other things.

The Cell Membrane

• The Cell Membrane
• The Membrane is around the outside of an
  animal cell, and is the boundary. It provides
  some support and controls movement. It provides
  some protection to the cell as well. This is the
  offensive line of a cell.

• The Offensive Line
• The Offensive Lines job is to protect their
  quarterback, running back, and anybody else who
  will get the ball an that play. If they dont,
  their backs will get killed. Sort of like if a
  cell didnt have a Membrane, then the organelles
  would get damaged.

The Golgi Bodies

• Golgi Bodies
• These are found in the cytoplasm and they
  store and release chemicals. Like if they dont
  need a chemical anymore, it will release it. This
  is a lot like the GM of a football team.

• The General Manager
• The GM of a football team deals with their
  draft picks, trades, who to keep and who to get
  rid of. If they didnt, then there would be too
  many players and coaches on the team. And plus
  when they dont need a player, they need a way to
  get rid of him.

The Ribosomes

• The Ribosomes
• These are found throughout the cell and they
  produce protein for the cell. Without the protein
  the cell would not be able survive. Which is why
  an entire football team is the Ribosome of an
  organization.

• The Team
• One of the many secrets to winning and
  producing the protein, is something teamwork.
  Without teamwork, the team would fall apart and
  lose more games than the organization and fan
  base would want. If the cell didnt have teamwork
  it would fall apart as well.

The Second Half

• A Plant Cell

17
The Plant Cell

• The Plant Cell is different from the Animal Cell
  in a few ways. First off, it maintains a straight
  and rigid shape, unlike that of an animal cell
  which is more of a circle shape. Next, the plant
  cell has a Cell Wall, something that the Animal
  Cell lacks. It also has chloroplasts which give
  it its green color. Instead of a football team
  this time, I am going to present this by
  comparing it to football equipment.

18
The Cell Wall

• The Cell Wall
• The Cell Wall protects the cell and gives support
  and shape to it. This is sort of like a helmet
  and a neck pad because it protects the cell from
  getting damaged and from dying.

• The Helmet and Neck Pad
• The helmet protects your head from serious
  injury, some injuries are career- ending and
  sometimes even life threatening. The neck pad
  protects your spinal cord from being seriously
  damaged and it also keeps you from being
  paralyzed.

The Chloroplasts

• The Chloroplasts
• These are what give the plant its color. In an
  animals body we have something called pigments,
  but for a plant, this is what they have. Without
  these the plants would be colorless, or would
  look like something else.

• The Jerseys
• A jersey can sometimes be a players pride, just
  like you see in a clip of the movie, We Are
  Marshall, if you disrespect your jersey, the you
  are disrespecting your teams colors or their
  Chloroplasts.

The Nucleus

• The Nucleus
• This is the brain, or command center of a cell
  that tells each organelle what to do and where to
  be. This is like the coaches and some players
  headsets.

• The Headset
• The headset lets the player and the coach
  communicate wirelessly. Not every player has one
  in there helmet, but quarterbacks such as, Peyton
  Manning and Tom Brady have them in the helmet so
  there coach can send in plays and other thing.
  The people in the teams both can also communicate
  with the coach and players with their headsets.
  The headsets were only recently wireless, but I
  think it helps out a lot that there wireless.

Cytoplasm

• The Cytoplasm
• This is sort of like jelly, and it holds the
  cell together. The cytoplasm is where the
  chemical reactions in the cell take place. You
  could say that it is like the locker room because
  it holds most everything the team will need for
  that Sunday or for practice.

• The Locker Room
• The Locker Room is where all of the stuff
  the may need or needs is held. The coaches
  office is in or around there, the players
  equipment is in there, the trainers first aid
  kits and sports drinks.

The Golgi Bodies

• The Golgi Bodies
• The Golgi bodies are in the Cytoplasm and
  they store and release chemicals inside the cell.
  This is why they are like the locker each team
  member has. When he needs some piece of
  equipment, he can go get it. When he doesnt need
  it, he can store it in the locker.

• The Lockers
• These are for your football equipment when
  your not using it, or you just dont need it. You
  can store your chemicals in it and you can
  release your chemicals when you need it.

The Nuclear Membrane

• The N. Membrane
• This part of the cell helps to protect the
  Nucleus, but it also can let stuff pass between
  the Nucleus and the rest of the cell. It is also
  what separates the Nucleus from the rest of the
  cell.

• The Shoulder Pads
• The Shoulder Pads protect one of the most vital
  sources to your survival. The spine. You attach
  the neck pad to the shoulder pads for even more
  protection. Without shoulder pads a spine, back,
  shoulder, chest, or any other kind of injury is
  more likely. If your spinal cord got really
  damaged, then you might get paralyzed and your
  career might even be over if it is permanent
  paralysis.
