The document compares components of an animal cell to parts of a roller coaster ride. The nucleus is like the person controlling the ride, as it directs all cell activities. The cell membrane only allows certain substances to enter, like a height requirement for the roller coaster. Energy storage organelles like the vacuole and gas tank store fuel for future use. Transport organelles like the Golgi body and carts receive and move materials through the cell or ride.

1. A Animal Cell To A Roller
Coaster
By: Kevin Bray and Layne Smith

2. The person who controls the whole ride can be
compared to the Nucleus because they're both the
boss who controls everything about that cell or
roller coaster. The Nucleus tells all the organelles
what to do and the person who controls the ride
tells the roller coaster what to do.

3. Cell Membrane/ Height Guide
The hight guide at the entrance can be
compared to the cell membrane because they
both controls what goes in and out. Only if
you are tall enough you can go in the roller
coaster. The cell membrane only lets certain
things go in too.

4. The vacuole holds energy for the cell to
use later on. The gas tank can be
compared to a vacuole because the gas
tank stores gas for the roller coaster to
use when it needs it.

5. Golgi Body/ Carts
The Golgi body can be compared to the carts
of a roller coaster because a Golgi Body
receives materials from the endoplasmic
Reticulum and sends them to the other side
of the cell. The roller coaster carts can be
related to the golgi body because the carts
receive people and send them around around
the roller coaster.

6. The Endoplasmic reticulum can be related to
the line of a roller coaster because the things
that want to get to the nucleus have to go
through the maze like Endoplasmic
Reticulum. The line can be related to the
Endoplasmic Reticulum because to get to the
roller coaster you have to go through the
maze like line.

7. Cytoplasm/ Chain
The cytoplasm can be compared to the chain of a
roller coaster. The cytoplasm holds all of the
organelles for the cell in a gel-like fluid so the
organelles can move. The chan helps the cart move
around the roller coaster.

8. lysosomes/ Janitor
The lysosomes can be related to the janitor
because the lysosomes go around dissolving food
particles and old worn out organelles. The janitor
can be related to the lysosomes because he/she
climbs on the roller coaster and cleans the dirt
and other things off of it.

9. Ribosomes/Snack Machine
The Ribosomes can be compared to the
snack machine because the Ribosomes
produce protein for the cell and the snack
machines unhealthy food produces protein
for the peoples body.

10. Mitochondria/ Hill
The Mitochondria turns proteins into
usable energy for the cell. Like the hill on
a roller coaster it uses the energy from
the engine to bring it up and turns gravity
into energy to bring it down. That is how
mitochondria is like a hill on a roller
coaster.
