Question
- for each of the cell organelles listed below, create an analogy for its function. for instance: the nucleus manages and directs the cell, so it is like a principal managing a school. then, choose if the organelle is found in a plant cell, animal cells or both.
| structure | function | analogy | plant, animal or both |
|---|---|---|---|
| ribosome | site of protein synthesis in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. | ||
| endoplasmic reticulum | carries proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another. | ||
| mitochondria | supplies the cell with energy (atp); conductsrespiration for the cell. | ||
| chloroplast | conducts photosynthesis for the cell. | ||
| golgi apparatus | collects, packages, and distributes proteins. | ||
| large central vacuole | used for storage of water and other materials needed by the cell. | ||
| lysosome | contains digestive enzymes to break down food, wastes and old cell parts. |
Brief Explanations
For each organelle, an everyday object or role is chosen to represent its function. The classification as plant, animal or both is based on the presence of the organelle in those cell types. For example, chloroplasts are only in plant cells for photosynthesis, while mitochondria are in both for energy production.
