The document summarizes the structures and functions of various organelles in an animal cell by comparing each one to a familiar kitchen item. The cell membrane controls what comes in and out of the cell like a sieve. The mitochondrion gives energy to the cell like an oven. The vacuole stores materials for the cell like a closet. The lysosomes break down chemicals and throw out waste like a fruit juicer. The Golgi packages and ships cell products like a ladle. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum serves as a pathway through the cell like a kitchen counter. The rough endoplasmic reticulum holds ribosomes along a dark colored pathway like a stove holding a saucepan. Ribosomes stick onto the rough end

2. The cell membrane
The cell membrane is
like a sieve. A sieve
Controls what parts
of the flour come out,
and the cell
membrane Controls
what things come
into the cell.
The cell membrane Controls what comes in and out
of the cell.

3. The mitochondrion
The mitochondrion is
like an oven. An oven
gives energy to heat
and make the food,
and the mitochondria
gives energy to the
cell.
The mitochondrion gives energy to the cell.

4. The vacuole
The vacuole is like a
closet. A closet stores
things, and a vacuole
stores things for the
cell.
The vacuole is the storage space of the cell.

5. The lysosomes
The lysosome is like a
fruit juicer. A fruit
juicer keeps the good
parts of the fruit and
throws out the peels,
and the lysosome
breaks down the
chemicals and throws
out old organelles.
The lysosomes throw out waste and break down
chemicals in the cell.

6. The Golgi apparatus
Also knows as the Golgi
The Golgi is like a
ladle. A ladle gets the
soup ready for people
to eat, and the Golgi
packages and ships
the things that need
to go out of the cell.
The Golgi is the shipping and packaging department in the cell.

7. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Also known as the smooth ER
The smooth ER is
like a counter in our
kitchen. A counter
can be used to move
things around in the
kitchen, and the
smooth ER can be
used to move things
around the cell.
The smooth ER serves as a pathway through the
cell.

8. The rough endoplasmic reticulum
Also known as the rough ER
The rough ER is like
a stove. A stove holds
the saucepan, and the
rough ER holds the
ribosomes.
The rough ER is a dark colored pathway with
ribosomes stuck to it.

9. The ribosomes
The ribosomes are
like a saucepan. A
saucepan makes food,
and ribosomes make
proteins.
Ribosomes are little figures in a cell that stick onto the
rough endoplasmic reticulum and make proteins.

10. The nucleus and it's parts
The nuclear
membrane
The nucleolus
And the nuclear pores

11. The nucleus
The nucleus is like a
cookbook. A cookbook gives
you instructions on how to
cook to something, and the
nucleus gives instructions to
the cell.

12. The nuclear membrane
The nuclear membrane is
like a measuring cup. A
measuring cups controls how
much you put into what you
are making, and the nuclear
membrane controls what
comes in and out of the
nucleus.
The nuclear membrane controls what comes in and out
of the nucleus.

13. The nucleolus
The nucleolus is like a fridge.
A fridge stores food, and the
nucleolus stores ribosomes.
The nucleolus stores ribosomes.

14. The nuclear pores
The nuclear pores are like a
jug. A jug passes water
through the room, and the
nuclear pores pass the
ribosomes and molecules out
of the nucleus.
The nuclear pores are pathways from the nucleus to the cell.
