How is a plant cell compared to a school?
The Cell Wall is like the beams in a school because it provides the school support. The Chloroplast is like the cafeteria in a school because it is where the students in a school get their energy. The Large Central Vacuole is like a swimming pool because it stores water for the swim team.
What are some analogies we can use when comparing cells to other things?
Cell Analogy Project Ideas
- Cells are Like Schools. The hard exterior of a school building keeps it standing like a cell wall does in a plant cell.
- Cells are Like Cities.
- Cells are Like Cars.
- Cells are Like Zoos.
How is a cell like school?
A nucleus controls all the functions of the cell, like the principle in a school does. The cell membrane controls what goes in and out of the cell, much like the main doors in a school control what go into the school.
What can you compare a plant cell to?
A Plant Cell Compared to A Car
- Ribosomes- Transmission.
- Cytoplasm- Windows/Air.
- Vacuole-Trunk.
- Golgi Apparatus- Tires.
- Endoplasmic Reticulum- Pipes and electrical wires.
- The Nucleus- The Driver.
- Cell Membrane- Car Doors.
What can organelles be compared to?
The organelles of the cell can be compared to the body parts of the human body. The nucleus in the human body is the brain. Both the brain and the nucleus are the control centers of the cell and body. The ribosomes and intestines are alike because they produce protein or extract protein from food for the cell and body.
What is chloroplasts analogy?
Chloroplasts are like solar panels because chloroplasts convert the sun’s energy into energy that can be used by cells like solar panels convert the sun’s energy into energy that can be used by a house.
How do you think Plant cells differ from animal cells hint what can plants do that animals Cannot?
Plant cell have chloroplasts that allow them to get their energy from photosynthesis. Animal cells cannot do so as they receive their energy from cellular respiration in the mitochondria.
