Nucleus Court House

• The nucleus is known as the control center of the

cell.

• The Court House is the control center of a city.

Cell membrane Police Station

• The cell membrane is responsible for controlling

what goes in and out of the cell.

• Police officers enforce laws and controls what goes in and out of a city.

Cell wall Water Levy

• The cell wall is responsible for the

structure of the cell. It also supports and protects

it.

• A water levy protects a city from being flooded.

Endoplasmic reticulum Trains

• This organelle is responsible for providing passages for proteins to

move through easily.

• Trains provide passages for the people in a city to get from place to place.

Golgi apparatus Post Office

Ribosome Restaurant

• The ribosome of a cell is responsible for producing

proteins in a cell.

• The food that is prepared in a restaurant contains

proteins for people to eat on a daily basis.

Plant Cells Animal Cells

• Have a cell wall (on outside)

• Have photosynthesis and cell respiration

• Green due to chlorophyll• Have chloroplasts• Square due to cell wall• 1 large central vacuole

• Have cytoskeleton (on inside)

• Does cell respiration only• White/pink/red due to

blood• No chloroplasts• Can be any shape• Many small vacuoles
