The document summarizes the roles of various organelles in a cell and compares them to analogous roles in a company. It discusses how the nucleus acts as the command center like a CEO. Vacuoles store waste like storage managers. Centrosomes organize cell division like event planners. The Golgi body processes and packages proteins like delivery workers. Mitochondria produce energy like a power generation department. Ribosomes produce proteins like a manufacturing department. The endoplasmic reticulum functions like factory workers. The cell membrane protects the cell like security. Lysosomes break down waste like janitors. The cytoskeleton shapes and supports the cell like a COO oversees operations.

GROUP 4
(CELL AS A COMPANY)

2. GROUP 4
WHAT IS
ORGANELLES?

3. GROUP 4
WHAT IS ORGANELLES?
An organelle is a subcellular
structure that has one or more
specific jobs to perform in the cell,
much like an organ does in the
body.

4. 1. WHY IS NUCLEUS
VERY IMPORTANT?
• The nucleus is a vital
component in cells,
serving as the
command center of the
cell and controlling all
its activities.

5. 1. HOW IS IT RELATED TO
THE CHOSEN ANALOGY?
• Just like the CEO of a
company, the nucleus can
be seen as a metaphorical
representation of the core
operations and decision-
making entity.

6. 2. THE ROLE OF
VACUOLE.
6
Vacuole act like lockers
because they store things for
the cell. They are membrane-
bound sacs that store food,
water, and waste. Its function
is very similar to lysosome.

7. 2. HOW IS IT RELATED TO
THE CHOSEN ANALOGY?
7
When we analyze what will
represent the role of vacuole
on a company, it would be
storage manager, since
vacuole acts like lockers
because they store things for
the cell.

8. 3. THE ROLE OF
CENTROSOMES IN A
CELL.
8
Centrosomes are the major
microtubule nucleating centers
within a cell and play a key role in
forming the bipolar mitotic spindle
required to accurately divide genetic
material between daughter cells
during cell division.

9. 3. HOW IS IT RELATED TO
THE CHOSEN ANALOGY?
In a company, event planners are the
one who is responsible for organizing
the event. So just like the event
planners, centrosomes are also the one
responsible in organizing and
maintaining the equal distribution of
chromosomes in daughter cells

10. 4. WHY IS GOLGI BODY
IMPORTANT FOR THE
CELL?
10
A Golgi body, also known as a
Golgi apparatus, is an important
to the cell organelle because it's
helps process and package
proteins and lipid molecules,
especially proteins destined to
be exported from the cell.

11. 4. HOW IS IT RELATED TO
THE CHOSEN ANALOGY?
11
It is related to the job of a
delivery man because Golgi
apparatus acts like the
delivery service or mailroom
of the cell.

12. 5. WHAT DOES THE
MITOCHONDRION DO TO
THE CELL?
12
• Mitochondria are known
as the "powerhouses" of
cells.

13. 5. HOW IS IT RELATED TO
THE CHOSEN ANALOGY?
13
Both mitochondria and a power
generation department play crucial
roles in providing energy for their
respective systems. There are 4
relations between mitochondria and
power generation department:
1. Energy Production
2. Efficiency
3. Regulation
4. Maintenance

14. 6. WHAT DOES RIBOSOMES DO? ARE
THEY FOUND FREELY FLOATING IN
THE CYTOPLASM?
14
RIBOSOMES ARE PROTEIN FACTORIES FOUND IN
BOTH PROKARYOTIC AND EUKARYOTIC CELLS.
THEY USE RNA AND PROTEINS TO READ GENETIC
INFORMATION AND ASSEMBLE AMINO ACIDS INTO
PROTEINS. THEY ARE IN THE CYTOPLASM OR ON
THE ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM IN EUKARYOTES.

15. 6. HOW IS IT RELATED TO THE
CHOSEN ANALOGY?
15
MANUFACTURING DEPARTMENTS IN
ORGANIZATIONS OVERSEE THE
PRODUCTION OF GOODS OR SERVICES,
INCLUDING TASKS SUCH AS PRODUCTION,
QUALITY CONTROL, INVENTORY
MANAGEMENT, RESOURCE ALLOCATION,
AND PROCESS IMPROVEMENT.

16. 7. WHAT DOES THE
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM DO?
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a large,
dynamic structure that serves many roles in
the cell including calcium storage, protein
synthesis and lipid metabolism.
Note: It have two types, which is the Smooth Endoplasmic
Reticulum and Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

17. 7. HOW IS IT RELATED TO THE
ANALOGY?
Endoplasmic Reticulum is like
a factory workers.

18. 8. WHAT DOES THE CELL
MEMBRANE DO?
The cell membrane, also
known as the plasma
membrane, is a thin, flexible
barrier that surrounds the
cell and separates it from its
external environment.

19. 8. HOW IS IT RELATED TO THE
ANALOGY?
The concept of a cell
membrane can be
related to security in
several ways.

20. 9. WHAT ARE LYSOSOMES?
• LYSOSOMES ARE INVOLVED WITH VARIOUS CELL
PROCESSES. THEY BREAK DOWN EXCESS OR
WORN-OUT CELL PARTS. THEY MAY BE USED TO
DESTROY INVADING VIRUSES AND BACTERIA. IF
THE CELL IS DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR,
LYSOSOMES CAN HELP IT TO SELF-DESTRUCT IN
A PROCESS CALLED PROGRAMMED CELL DEATH,
OR APOPTOSIS.

21. 9. HOW IS IT RELATED TO THE
ANALOGY?
THE LYSOSOME HELPS BREAK DOWN
WORN CELLS, WASTE, FOOD
PARTICLES, ETC. SO FOR A COMPANY
THE EQUIVALENT WOULD BE A JANITOR
BECAUSE JANITOR'S PICK-UP
GARBAGE AND THINGS LIKE THAT AND
THROW IT AWAY.

22. 10. HOW DOES THE CYTOSKELETON
DO FOR THE CELL?
• The cytoskeleton supports and
shapes a cell, helps position
and transport organelles,
provides strength, assists in
cell division, and aids cell
movement.

23. 10. HOW IS IT RELATED TO THE
ANALOGY?
• Cytoskeleton and COO's role is
related since a COO oversees the
company's operations, It ensures
processes run efficiently and often
oversee various departments to
ensure employees are completing
their work properly and in a timely
manner.
