Cells are incredibly complex systems that carry on the same basic functions as we do to sustain
Question:
Cells are incredibly complex systems that carry on the same basic functions as we do to sustain life. The difference is cells function with much smaller parts. These small parts, or organelles, are equally complex, and learning the different organelles and their unique functions can be challenging.
Analogies are a great way to relate things you learn in class to everyday things. As a result, you'll remember it better.
Your assignment is to relate the structure and/or function of a cell and its organelles to a particular 'theme' representing an everyday situation or thing, using an analogy. The example given below compares the cell to a city. For each organelle you include, a description of it, and its function must be included (e.g., the plasma membrane surrounds the cell and separates it from the external environment while allowing some molecules to enter or leave the cell, as needed). You must also explain how the cell is analogous to the theme you choose. Including drawings or images will score higher for that criteria. You may use images from the internet, but they must be 'fair use' and include a working link to where you found it.
Your analogy should include a minimum of 8-10 organelles.
Do not use this example - it's just to give you a place to starting thinking: The Cell and The City Analogy.
This analogy's theme is how a cell is similar to a city in structure and/or function, with each organelle representing a different part of the city.
The nucleus of a cell is the cell's control center because it is where all of the information or the genetic information or DNA needed for the cell to function is found. Therefore, it is like city hall because that is where all governing and information policy needs to run a city is found.
Include pictures/drawings.
The mitochondria of a cell are the powerhouses because it is where energy in the form of ATP is generated through the breakdown of glucose molecules. In cites, the powerplant is similar because this is where electric energy is made from fuel, such as coal or natural gas.
Plus 6-8 more needed.
