Function: Breaks down excess or worn out Organelles,food

Particles and engulfed viruses or bacteria .

Analogy: Lysosomes can be compared to incinerators because Lysosome rid the cell of waste and trash rather than letting it pile up.

Lysosme

Function: Ribosomes are a cell structure that makes protein. Protein is needed for many cell functions such as repairing damage or directing chemical processes.

Analogy: Ribosome can be compared to printer because a printer prints out information to be used elsewhere, while ribosome make protein to be used throughout the cell.

Ribosome

Mitochondria

Function: acts like digestive system which takes in nutrients, break them down, and creates the energy of cell.

Analogy: Mitochondria can be compared to sprorts programs because sports programs give energy to athletes just as the mitochondria gives energy to the cell. or power plant: produce energy to give power to the city/cell.

Chloroplast

Function: Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and eukaryotic algae that conduct photosynthesis. Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant.

Analogy:I compared the chloroplast to the floor in a house! The chloroplast is like the solar panels on a house because the solar panels use the sun's energy to generate power for the house, like the chloroplast uses the sun's energy to produce

food for the cell. or solar energy plants: both

capture energy from the sun.

Eukaryotic cell

Function: Eukaryotic cells are larger than prokaryotic cells and have a “true” nucleus, membrane-bound organelles, and rod-shaped chromosomes. The nucleus houses the cell's DNA and directs the synthesis of proteins and ribosomes.

Analogy: I compared Eukaryotic cell to big house

with many different rooms.

Prokaryotic cell

Function:Prokaryotes lack an organized nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotic DNA is found in a central part of the cell called the nucleoid. The cell wall of a prokaryote acts as an extra layer of protection, helps maintain cell shape, and prevents dehydration.

Analogy: I compared prokaryotic cell to

studio apartment like one room.

Bacteria

Function:Bacteria are microscopic, single-celled organisms that exist in their millions, in every environment, both inside and outside other organisms. Some bacteria are harmful, but most serve a useful purpose. ... Bacteria can use most organic and some inorganic compounds as food, and some can survive extreme conditions.

Analogy:Bacteria are like sharks. A small percentage of them will eagerly bite your head off but the vast majority are harmless, even beneficial.

Virus

Function:A virus is a tiny, infectious particle that can reproduce only by infecting a host cell. Viruses "commandeer" the host cell and use its resources to make more viruses, basically reprogramming it to become a virus factory. Because they can't reproduce by themselves (without a host), viruses are not considered living.

Analogy:A virus is like a thief who arrives at a factory he intends to rob possessing only two things - the tools to get inside, and some software that will make the factory turn out items he

can use.

Cell membrane

Function:The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of cells and organelles. In this way, it is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules.

Analogy:Police Officers: they both control what goes in and out of the cell/city. They also both protect and support what is inside.
