Cell vs. Prison

1. Cell vs. Prison Reece Andonov Lizzie Codina Period 3

2. Nucleus vs Prison Warden • Found in both types of eukaryotic cells • The nucleus is like the prison warden because the warden controls all aspects of the prison and the nucleus controls all functions of the cell, also they are both the most important.

3. Cell Membrane vs Walls & doors of prison • Found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells • The membrane is like the doors and walls because the both keep things in and out and will selectively allow entrance.

4. Vacuoles vs. prison cell • Found only in eukaryotic cells • The vacuole is like a prison cell because the vacuole keeps what it stores inside itself and the prison cells don’t allow the prisoner to escape.

5. Mitochondria vs. Power generator • Found in eukaryotic cells • The mitochondria is like a power generator because it powers necessary life functions of the cell and the power generator because it powers the entire prison.

6. Cytoskeleton vs. pillars • Found in all cells • The cytoskeleton is like the pillars because booth support and help keep the structure of the object, in this case the cell and the prison.

7. Lysosome vs. electric chair • Found only in animal cells • The lysosome is like the electric chair because it destroys(dissolves) the food from the vacuole and the electric chair gets rid of the prisoner from the cell.

8. E.R. Vs hallways & lanes • Found in Eukaryotic cells • The Endoplasmic Reticulum(both smooth and rough) is like the hallways and lanes of a prison because they both help to transport things from one place (within cell or prison) to another.

9. Chloroplasts vs. cooks • Found in plant cells • The chloroplasts are like the prison cooks because the both produce food. The chefs give food to energize the prisoners and the chloroplasts give food to energize the cell.

10. Ribosome vs. convict labor • Found in all cells • The ribosome is like convict labor because the convicts working in the industrial produce and assemble furniture, cars etc and the ribosome produces and assembles proteins.

11. Cell Wall vs. outer fence • Found only in plant and bacteria cells • The cell wall is like the outer fence because the cell wall give shape and protection to the cell, just as the outer fence does to the prison.

12. Golgi vs. transport procession • Found in eukaryotic • The Golgi is like the transport procession because the both ship exports-transport items outside of the cell/prison.

13. Cytoplasm vs. prison • Found in all cell types • The cytoplasm is like the actual prison because the purpose of both is to hold things in.

14. Nucleolus vs. educational facilities • Found only in eukaryotic • The nucleolus is like the educational facilities because the nucleolus has to assemble and organized the RNA just as the educational facilities have to organized the students and help them to learn. • Nucleolus

15. Centriole vs. prison chains • Found in animal cells • The centriole is like the prison chains because the centrioles attach to chromosomes as spindle fibers and pull them apart just like the prison chains are used to help keep some of the prisoners apart.

16. Vesicle vs. Storage • Found in eukaryotic cells • The vesicles are like the prison storage because the purpose of both is to store semi important objects.

17. Centrosome vs. guards • Found in eukaryotic • The centrosome is like the guards because the guards pull apart the prisoners just like the centrosome pulls apart the chromosomes.

18. Capsule vs. barbed wire • Found in prokaryotic • The capsule is like the barbed wire because the wire is like another layer of protection to keep people in and out just like the capsule is to the cell.

19. Cell Theory • All living organisms are composed of cells. They may be unicellular or multicellular. • The cell is the basic unit of life. • Cells arise from pre-existing cells.

20. Prokaryotic vs. eukaryotic • Simplistic cells • Only organelle is ribosomes • Includes cell wall, cytoskeleton, ribosomes, cell membrane, capsule, cytoplasm & plasmid • Pro-no No Kary-kernal Nucleus • Complex cells • Many organelles such as ER, nucleus, golgi, mitochondria, etc. • Eu-True True Kary-kernal Nucleus Prokaryotic Eukaryotic

21. Plant vs. animal • Cell wall • Large central vacuole • Chloroplasts • Small vacuoles • Centriole • Lysosome Plant Animal
