The document discusses the key organelles found in animal and plant cells, comparing each organelle to a familiar object. It describes the endoplasmic reticulum as transporting proteins like a car transports people, ribosomes as making proteins like a factory makes things, and mitochondria as providing energy for the cell like electricity powers devices. It also compares the Golgi body to UPS for packaging and distributing proteins, lysosomes to garbage cans for breaking down waste, and the cell membrane to security guards for monitoring what enters and exits the cell. The cytoplasm is likened to jello salad for filling the cell, the nucleus to a USB drive for holding DNA, and the nucleus membrane to a boss for controlling what enters and exits the nucleus

2. Endoplasmic Reticulum
(ER)
Transports protein made by ribosomes.
Reminds of a car because a car takes people places.

3. Ribosomes
Makes protein.
It reminds me of a factory because they make things.

4. Mitochondrion
Provides energy for the cell.
This reminds me of electricity because electricity
makes electrical things work .

5. Golgi Body or Golgi
Apparatus
Packages or distributes protein.
This reminds me of the UPS because it takes packages
to different places.

6. Lysosomes
Breaks down all old or unneeded parts of the cell.
This reminds me of a garbage can because I throw away
all the things I don’t need.

7. Cell Membrane
Monitors what enters and exits.
It reminds me of security guards because they seewho
or what enters the building or place and they see who
or what comes out.

8. Cytoplasm
The fluid that fills the cell.
This reminds me of jello salad because the fruit fills
the jello and then the fruit can’t move.

9. Nucleus
Holds the DNA.
This reminds me of a pin drive because it holds data.

10. Nucleus Membrane
Controls what gets in and gets out the nucleus.
This reminds me of a boss because it controls what the
workers are doing.

11. Cell Wall
Protects the cell from getting injured and provides
support for the plant.
This reminds me of a body guard because they prevent
the person to get hurt from another person.

12. Chloroplast
Uses energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide
and water into sugar.
This reminds of a snowcone machine because you mix
things to get a snowcone.

13. Vacuole
The vacuole stores nutrients, breaks down waste, help
the cell grow, and provides pressure necessary to
maintain the plant’s shape.
This reminds me of a manager because they are like
the boss and they help people do things right.
