Plant Cell Analogy

By Ricardo T. Juliani

If you think about it,plant cells are like air planes.You might be asking how, well let me tell you about my thought process.

The nucleus of the cell is like the cockpit of an air plane,it is the main control centre and sends messages to other parts of the cell much like the control centre or cockpit of an air plane.

The cell membrane is like the cabin of an air plane. The cell membrane holds all of the organelles together and is the barrier of the inside and outside of the cell.

This example is not perfect, the air plane requires fuel to move and run,it does not however need fuel to live like the plant cell. Plants need water and sunlight to survive and flourish, the air plane however was never alive to begin with.

the mitochondria of a cell is like the engines of an air plane,the engines are the powerhouse of an air plane that moves it to where ever it wants to go. The mitochondria of a cell is also the powerhouse of energy in a cell.

The Chloroplast is like the fuel tanks of an air plane. The chloroplasts hold the chlorophyll and photosynthesis of a plant cell. In a plane the fuel tanks hold the fuel to power the plane just like the chlorophyll and photosynthesis in a plant cell.

The cell wall is like the air crafts frame. This frame protects the people inside and the controls. The cell wall in the cell does the same thing,but protects the organelles.

The Golgi apparatus is like the luggage compartments of an airplane. The Golgi apparatus(GA) holds the proteins of the cell. This could be the luggage, it holds the cargo of the plane.

The lysosome is like the garbage of the airplane. The lysosomes break down food and digests waste in a cell,just like the garbage room does in an airplane.

The Ribosome is like the galley of an airplane. The Ribosomes create the proteins for the cell. The flight attendant creates drinks for the passengers in the galley,and spread the protein around.

The Vacuole is like the lavatory and the snack cart of an airplane. The Vacuole stores food and waste for the cell. In a plane the lavatory stores the waste and the snack cart stores the food.

The Cytoplasm is like the insulation between the inside and the outside of an airplane. The Cytoplasm surrounds the organelles and fills up the cell. In a plane this could be the insulation between the fuselage and the passengers. This could also be the air stored inside the passenger compartment.

The endoplasmic reticulum is like the flight attendants and the landing gear of an airplane. The E.R. transports everything in a cell like food and waste. In an air plane the flight attendants transport the food around the plane. The landing gear also moves the plane around.

In conclusion a plant cell could be compared to an airplane.
