A Cell is like a Factory
2
Task 1

• Glue the cell/factory chart into your journal

3
How can a cell be like a factory???

• In a factory, you have many different tasks being
  completed in the same building.
• Ex. The building supports/shelters the workers,
  workers build goods, maintenance crews clean up
  messes, shipping department gets goods ready to
  leave the factory and so on.
• A cell can be thought of as a "factory," with
  different departments each performing specialized
  tasks.

4
The Cell wall is like a..

• a security Gate
• A security gate protects the factory and helps
  keep it safe.
• A cell wall does the same thing for a plant cell!

5
The cell membrane is like

• Front doors
• The doors of a factory regulates what enters and
  leaves the building
• A cell membrane does the same thing for plant and
  animal cells!

6
The Nucleus is like..

• THE BIG BOSS!! (CEO) The boss controls all of
  the activity inside the cell
• The nucleus does the same thing for plant and
  animal cells

7
Cytoplasm is like.

• The factory floor. The floor of the factory has
  all the workers, machines, equipment on it
• Cytoplasm holds all of the organelles (cell
  parts) in the plant and animal cells

8
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is like.

• An assembly line.(where the workers do their
  work) Items move along a conveyer belt to
  different parts of the plant
• ER moves items to different parts of the cell in
  the same way!

9
Ribosomes are like.

• Workers on the assembly linethey are responsible
  for building the goods in a factory
• Ribosomes assemble (build) proteins

10
Vacuoles are like..

• Break rooms- In a break room you have storage
  for food items and places to get rid of trash
• Vacuoles hold wastes and stores water in plant
  and animal cells.
• Which cell has 1 large vacuole?

11
Lysosomes are like..

• Maintenance/janitor crewsin a factory these
  guys break down, clean up, and repair items in
  and around the factory
• Lysosmes do the same thing in the cell

12
Mitochondria and Chloroplasts are like..

• Power Stationsthe power station supplies energy
  to the factory
• Mitochondria (animal cells) and Chloroplasts
  (plant cells) do this for a cell!

13
Your assignment

• On the hand-out.choose ONE (plant or animal
  cell) to draw, label, color.
• Make sure each of the organelles listed are
  pictured and labeled in your drawing.
• Make each organelle be drawn as the part of the
  factory it represents
• MUST BE COLORED to be considered complete
