Cell Analogy
Objective: Using what you have learned about cells and cell organelles create and draw an analogy of a cell. You may use any object that you want to compare with a cell and its many parts. For example: a school bus. Nucleus = driver, cytoplasm = seats, etc. Before you draw, answer these questions: 1. What are you comparing your cell to? _____________________________________ 2. Is your cell a plant cell or animal cell? _______________________________ 3. Define these terms: Prokaryote: Eukaryote: 4. Is your cell a prokaryote or a eukaryote? ___________________________ 5. Fill in the following chart. You only need to choose 10 organelles to place in your analogy.

Organelle Organelle

Function/ Job Function/ Job What do these parts do for the cell?
What do these parts do for the cell?

What in your What in is your analogy equal to analogy is equal to this organelle? this organelle?

Why? Why?

5. Create and draw an analogy of your cell on a large sheet of paper. Match the part of the object in your analogy drawing to the part of the cell it represents (Ex. Nucleus = driver)
