Lysosomes (rare)

Cytoskeleton

The cytoskeleton maintains the cell's shape and helps cells move, much like the teachers and faculty of a school.

Endoplasmic Reticulum

The ER assembles lipid components and proteins, like a school cafeteria provides food for the students.

Ribosomes

Ribosomes assemble proteins for the cell, like school cafeteria workers assemble food for the students.

Golgi Apparatus

The Golgi Apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids, like a school councilor helps students get where they need to be.

Chloroplasts

Chloroplasts convert solar energy into chemical energy, like lunchtime gives students energy to make it through the day.

Mitochondria

The mitochondria is like the students of a school because they give the school the energy it needs to thrive.

Cell Wall

The cell wall shapes, supports, and protects the cell, like school building(s).

Cell Membrane

The cell membrane regulates materials entering and leaving the cell/ protects and supports the cell like the school gate.
