Cell Analogy PowerPoint.pptx
- 2. Review Question #1: Astudent looks under the microscope and sees the following image. a) Is it a plant cell or an animal cell? b) How do you know? (Evidence) Review Question #2: a) Is it eukaryote or prokaryote? b) How do you know?
- 3. What do younotice/see in the picture? What do you think it is trying to show you? What questions does it raise?
- 4. SLIDE 1: Why isa cell like a factory? The job of a factory is to make a product (i.e. a bicycle, a cellphone, etc.) The job of a cell is to make proteins (i.e. hemoglobin, melanin, insulin, etc.)
- 5. The cellwall is like the security gates because…. ◦ It surrounds the factory and protects it just as a cell wall surrounds a plant cell and maintains structure.
- 6. The cellmembrane is like the door because…. ◦ It allows materials to enter and leave the factory
- 7. The nucleusis like the CEO/boss because…. ◦ It controls the factory and tells it what to do
- 8. The cytoplasmis like the factory floor because…. ◦ It fills up the factory and connects each location to another
- 9. The Endoplasmicreticulum is like the assembly line because… ◦ It moves the product (proteins) around
- 10. The Ribosomesis like the factory workers because… ◦ They make the products (just like they make the protein)
- 11. The Vacuoleis like the Kitchen because… ◦ It stores food/water for the workers
- 12. The lysosomesare like the custodial staff because… ◦ They clean up the factory’s waste materials, disinfect, etc.
- 13. The mitochondriais like the generator because… ◦ It provides energy for the factory’s machines
- 14. Your goal:To create your own cell analogy. Part A. Cell Analogy Brainstorm Activity Directions: Decide what you want to compare a cell to. For example, remember how we compared the cell to a factory? What other analogy can you come up with? A cell is like a __________________________________________________.
- 15. Is/Are Like Because… Nucleus Cytoplasm Cellmembrane/ cell wall Vacuole Lysosomes Ribosomes Mitochondria Chloroplast Etc. etc. etc.
- 16. Create a visualrepresentation of your analogy. Use the large paper for this. Your visual MUST include the following FOUR components: Title “A cell is like ______________” Your name Each picture/organelle labeled clearly A brief description of why its an analogy. Example: “The Gatorade is like the mitochondria because it provides energy to the players”
- 17. Write a 1-2page response to the following 4-5 questions: 1. What are cells? 2. What kinds of cells exist? 3. What are organelles? (Provide a few examples and explain their function) 4. How do plant cells differ from animal cells? 5. What analogy did you select for this project, and why? ***Note: If you need to look information up on the internet, remember to PARAPHRASE (put it in your OWN words. Students who copy off of the internet will automatically receive a zero on the written component.
