  1. 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 line…they 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 crews……in 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 Stations……the 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
