CELL MEMBRANE, CITY BORDER

CELL MEMBRANE:BOUNDARY OF A CELL;CONTROLS TRANSPORT OF MATERIALS OF THE CELL
Relation to City:

-A city's border relates to a cell membrane because it is a boundary for the city.

-It also controls what comes into the city and what exits it.

CYTOPLASM, POLLUTION

CYTOPLASM:JELLY-LIKE DISSOLVING SUBSTANCE THAT FILLS THE CELL
Relation to city:
- Cytoplasm fills the cell, just like pollution fills the city.

NUCLEUS, CITY COUNCIL

NUCLEUS: CONTROL CENTER OF THE CELL, CONTAINS GENETIC INFO./DNA
Relation to City:
- The city council governs the city like a nucleus does with the cell.
- The city council stores important information, exactly how a nucleus stores DNA.

CYTOSKELETON, BUILDINGS

CYTOSKELETON: GIVES CELLS SHAPE & ANCHORS ORGANELLES, NETWORK OF PROTEIN FIBERS
Relation to city:
- A cytoskeleton provides cells with shape & anchors organelles, just how buildings do the same. By providing structures of shelter for people within the city.

SMOOTH ER, ABANDONED BUILDINGS

SMOPTH ER: CONNECTED NETWORK OF FOLDED MEMBRANES, NO RIBOSOMES
Relation to city:

-The smooth er contains zero ribosomes and makes lipids & vesicles, like how abandoned buildings contain no people and create dust and emptiness.

ROUGH ER, HOME

ROUGH ER: INTERCONNECTED NETWORK OF FOLDED MEMBRANES
Relation to city:

-The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum houses ribosomes and transfers proteins, just like how a house is covered with people and transports its history to one family to another.

RIBOSOME, PEOPLE IN CITY

RIBOSOME: SITE OF PROTEIN SYNTHES, ATTRACTED TO ROUGH ER OR FLOATS FREE
Relation to city:

-Ribosomes provide protein synthes and are attracted to the Rough ER, just like how people provide their city with money and dedication and also attracted to their homes.

GOLGI APPARATUS, POSTAL OFFICE

GOLGI APPARATUS: FLAT STACKS OF MEMBRANE ENCLOSED SPACES
Relation to city:

-A Postal Office ships, sorts, and packages mail, just like how the Golgi apparatus ships, sorts, and packages proteins.

VESICLE, BUS

VESICLE: SMALL MEMBRANE BOUD SACS, TRANSPORTS MATERIALS WITHIN THE CELL
Relation to city:

-Vesicles transports materials within the cell, exactly how a bus transports people, and sometimes materials, within the city.

MITOCHONDRIA(POWER HOUSE OF THE CELL) , CITY WATER & POWER

MITROCHONDRIA: DOUBLE MEMBRANE BOUND ORGANELLE, PRODUCES ENERGY FOR CELL
Relation to city:

-the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, providing energy for functions to happen, like how a city's water & power is super important by providing water & power to everyone and everything in the city.

CENTRAL VACUOLE, RESTAURANTS

CENTRAL VACUOLE: FLUID FILLED SAC FOR STORAGE OF- ENZYMES,NUTRIENTS, AND WASTE
Relation to city:

-The Central Vacuole stores water, food, enzymes, and waste; exactly how restaurants sell and store water & food, and also waste, as people de their restrooms.

LYSOSOME, GARBAGE DUMP

LYSOSOME: SPECIALIZED VESICLES,CONTAIN DIGESTIVE ENZYMES THAT BREAK DOWN WASTE
Relation to city:

-A lysosome break down old or unneeded parts of the cell, just like how a garbage dump collects and destroys trash from the city.

CELL WALL, LITERAL BORDER

CELL WALL: THICK RIGID LAYER MEMBRANE MADE OF A MOLECULE CALLED CELLULOSE
Relation to city:

-The cell wall is outside of the cell membrane and gives support, protection, and shape to the cell. It is exactly like a city border. The border separates, protects, and forms the city. Borders are visible, so it can range from a wall, to a fence, to hills/mountains, to highways.

CHLOROPLAST, GROCERY STORE

CHLOROPLAST: ORGANELLE THAT CONTAINS CHLOROPHYLL (PHOTOSYNTHESIS)
Relation to city:

-The chloroplast produces food through the process of photosynthesis, like how a grocery store also provides food through the process of people buying it.
