The document compares structures and organelles in a cell to parts of a school. The main office is likened to the nucleus as the control center of the cell and school. The principal directs operations just as the nucleolus directs cellular systems. Hallways transport students around the school, similar to how the endoplasmic reticulum transports materials within the cell. The mitochondrion and cafeteria both produce energy for their respective systems. Other comparisons are made between vacuoles and the library, lysosomes and janitors, ribosomes and vice principals, chromatin and teachers, and the cell membrane and school doors/walls. Chromosomes store cellular information just as books and computers store information for a school.

2. The Office is like the nucleus.
 The main office is like
the nucleus of cell,
because it controls and
instructs the cell just
like the office controls
and instructs the
school.

3. The Nucleolus is like the Principal.
 The Nucleolus directs
the different systems
in the cell just like the
principal directs the
school.

4. The Endoplasmic Reticulum is like the hallways.
 The Endoplasmic
Reticulum is very
similar to the hallways
in a school, because it
transports many things
throughout the cell
just like hallways
transports students.

5. The Mitochondrion is like the Cafeteria.
 In a school the
cafeteria provides
energy for students
and in a cell the
mitochondrion the
production of energy
occurs.

6. Vacuoles are like the library.
 The library in a school
contains many
important items just
like the vacuoles in a
cell contain important
fluids.

7. Lysosomes are like Janitors.
 Lyosomes in a cell
digest particles and
disintegrate the cell
after its death,
therefore cleaning up
the cell just like a
janitor cleans up the
school.

8. The Ribosomes are like the vice
principals.
 The Ribosomes are like
vice principals because
they help the principal
(nucleus) do its job.

9. The Chromatin is like the
teachers.
 The chromatin like a
teacher because they
provide information
that is needed to help
the school and cell like
the chromatin provides
information for the
cell.

10. The Cell Membrane is like the doors and walls
outside the school.
 The cell membrane is
like the doors and
walls of the school
because the walls and
doors protects and
surrounds the school
just the cell membrane
protects and
surrounds the cell.

11. Chromosomes are like books in
a school.
 Chromosomes are like
computers and books in
a school because
chromosomes stores
information like books
and computers store
information.
