PRESENTATION OUTLINE

CELL MEMBRANE: CITY LIMITS

MONITORS AND CONTROLS ENTRY INTO AND OUT OF THE CELL
Like a cell membrane, cell limits informs someone they are entering or exiting a city.

CYTOPLASM: SIDEWALK

JELLYLIKE SUBSTANCE INSIDE CELLS THAT CONTAIN MOLECULES
The sidewalks in a city contain people like cytoplasm contains molecules.

NUCLEUS: CITY HALL

ACTS AS THE STOREHOUSE FOR MOST OF A CELL'S DNA
City Hall holds records of important things that have happened in the past and present. Many important documents and papers are kept in a city hall. In a nucleus, the DNA and other important molecules are kept and protected.

NUCLEOLUS: ASSEMBLY HALL

PART OF THE NUCLEUS THAT IS NEEDED TO BUILD A RIBOSOME
An assembly hall is where people discuss things like laws and such. Laws are built in these places. In the nucleolus, ribosomes are made.

Cytoskeleton: Streets

NETWORK OF PROTEINS THAT SUPPORTS THE SHAPE OF THE CELL
The Cytoskeleton in a cell is streets in a city. A cytoskeleton is a network of proteins inside a cell that supports and shapes the cell, like streets shape neighborhoods and allow networks of people to walk.

SMOOTH ER: HIGHWAY

INTERCONNECTED NETWORK OF THIN FOLDED MEMBRANES.
Smooth ER is like a highway because it is an interconnected network of folded membranes. It transports things, just like a highway.

ROUGH ER: NEWSPAPER COMPANY

MAKES PROTEINS FOR ER MEMBRANE AND CELL MAKES MEMBRANES
Like a newspaper company, rough ER makes proteins and transports them through vesicles.

RIBOSOMES: UTILITY POLES

TINY ORGANELLES THAT LINK AMINO ACIDS TOGETHER TO FORM PROTEINS
Ribosomes produce proteins and are given instructions. Utility poles are given signals and help to generate power.

GOLGI BODIES: POST OFFICE

PROCESSES, PACKAGES, AND SHIPS PROTEINS
Like a Golgi apparatus, a post office packages, processes, and ships things all over the city.

VESICLE: MAILMAN

A SMALL, MEMBRANE BOUND SAC THAT TRANSPORTS MATERIALS
A mailman carries materials to be delivered to homes and buildings, just like a vesicle.

LYSOSOME: POLICE OFFICER

CLEANS UP WASTE AND DEFENDS AGAINST INVADERS
Police officers keep cities safe from bad people and other things, like lysosomes.

CENTRIOLE: HOSPITAL

AID CHROMOSOMES WHEN THE CELL DIVIDES
When someone is about to have a baby, they go to a hospital where the doctor help them to deliver it.

MITOCHONDRIA: ELECTRICAL PLANT

THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL
An electrical plant generates electricity and power to light up the whole city and make it function, mitochondria does the same.

CELL WALL: GATED COMMUNITY

KEEPS EVERYTHING IN PLACE AND PROTECTS CERTAIN CELLS
Some cities are surrounded by gates. These gates keep certain neighborhoods safe and keep others out. A cell wall surrounds plant cells and keeps them in a rigid shape.

CHLOROPLAST: POWER PLANT

TURN SUNLIGHT INTO ENERGY AND SUGAR
A power plant generates energy for a city. It is similar to an electrical plant, but maybe more environmentally friendly.

CENTROSOME: FACTORY

PRODUCE MICROTUBES FOR THE CELL
A factory produces supplies and things for a city, like how a centrosome produces microtubes for a cell.

VACUOLE: RESERVOIR

CONTAINS WATER, WASTE, AND NUTRIENTS FOR A CELL
A reservoir usually holds water for the city's residents to use in their household and drink. A vacuole holds simialr things for the cell.
