Our group decided to compare the Westminster mall to an animal cell and we found out that the Westminster mall is like an animal cell. Our group will be explaining how the Westminster mall is like an animal cell. We will summarize why we chose the place/thing to represent that organelle. All cells have a membrane a membrane controls what comes in and out of the cell.A membrane doesn’t want the cell to lose anything important. The same way a security guard wouldn't want a thief to leave with a product that hasn't been sold to them. The membrane makes sure to let something out if it doesn't belong there sometimes we don't realize how animals (also human) cells are similar to stores. It sounds kind of funny to think that, …show more content…
Vacuoles have three main functions. They contribute to the rigidity of the plant using water to develop hydrostatic pressure, store nutrient and non-nutrient chemicals, and break down complex molecules. The vacuole can be compared to the storage room in the mall because it stores it’s important products. Storage rooms are also very important and provide structural support such as the vacuole. The storage room can provide structural support by providing help to the whole mall. A cell is the rigid outer covering of a typical plant cell, composed mainly of cellulose and lying outside the cell membrane. The cell wall helps the plant cell grow strong and the walls for the Westminster Mall help the building be tall and hold everything inside in place. It also only allows water and protein inside the cell and the only difference in that is that the mall allows people inside. Cell walls keep what’s inside protected, the doors that surround the mall make it vulnerable but the are important to the function of the mall as well as the cell. Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and eukaryotic algae that conduct photosynthesis. Chloroplasts absorbs sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide to produce sugars. Chloroplasts have similar jobs like the windows at the Westminster Mall. It provides sunlight and photosynthesis for the people that are inside like organelles that are inside of a
There are many parts of a cell, they all have specific duties, and are all
The leaves of a plant are the main photosynthetic organs and are involved in gas exchange and water transportation throughout a plant (Evans et al, 17). A leaf typically consists of an upper and lower epidermis, the mesophyll cells, veins, guard cells and stomata. The mesophyll cells contains spongey cells which have large gaps between each cell to allow oxygen and carbon dioxide circulation. The mesophyll cells contain palisade cells, which are located beneath the upper epidermis. The palisade cells contain many chloroplasts, which are green organelles. Located in the internal layers of chloroplasts is the pigment chlorophyll which is involved in trapping the light energy in photosynthesis (Evans et al, 17).
My analogy is a hospital to an animal cell. The nucleus directs all of the cells’ activities. The nucleus is similar to a boss in a hospital in that it takes charge of these activities.
* Cells allow things to go in and out of the organism (allows diffusion to happen so good things go in and bad things go out)
Chloroplast: An organelle bounded by a double membrane containing the enzymes and pigments that perform
is something that lets some things in and some things out of the cell. It is an outer cover for the cell. If the cell membrane was non existences the cell would spill all over the place. Its function is to protect the integrity of the interior of the cell by allowing certain substances into the cell, while keeping other substances out. It is composed of a thin, double-layered sheet of lipids, around the Cell and is a protective membrane layer around every Cell.
Breaking down an organism leads scientists to identify cells. A group of cells create tissues, tissues combined are organs, and organs and their functions make up systems. Basically, cells make up living organisms. There are 2 kinds of cells: Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic. Within a prokaryotic, it doesn’t contain a DNA bounded nucleus; however, a eukaryotic cell does. Though the prokaryotic cell differs from a eukaryotic cell, they share a cell membrane. The cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer and proteins, which makes it selectively permeable. It is located outside of the cytoplasm and controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell. Its basic function is to protect the cell from its surroundings by selecting what can enter and exit the cell.
Cell Membrane: Cell boundary that controls what enters and leaves the cell. The cell membrane at Bryant-Denny Stadium is security.The cell membrane at Bryant-Denny Stadium is security because it stops whatever comes and and controls what comes in.They are similar because they do the same thing letting things in and letting things out.
The school and cells both also have a “lysosome.” The function of the lysosome is to break down, food, water and waste. This is like what a trash compactor does. The
Guard cells contribute to the function of the cell because they facilitate gas exchange in order for photosynthesis to happen and to help minimize water loss.
Many cells are filled with a complex network of tube like things known as the endoplasmic reticulum. The endoplasmic
In order for cells and organisms to “live” they need to perform certain tasks such as produce energy through respiration, send messages, maintenance and reproduction. To enable the cell to do so, it contains within small structures called organelles, each organelle is different and carries out a specific function.
The parts of a cell are very similar to the fundamental basics of a factory. Each organelle plays a different role in the life of a cell. For instance, the nucleus of a cell is akin to a factory manager. As a manager leads all other elements of the factory, so does the nucleus make sure all the necessary operations within a cell are executed. The nucleus functions to oversee the cell’s various activities and contains the DNA—plans for production and factory blueprints—which dictates the jobs of other organelles, providing regulation within the cell. A cell’s cytoskeleton is the factory’s structure itself. Like the steel beams holding up the roof of a factory, the cytoskeleton provides all the necessary support for the other organelles to operate
A plant cell is like a business. The business building is like a cell membrane, it separate the people from the outside environment. The building structure is like a cell wall which support and protect the cell like the building structure is protecting the people from the environment. The lunch room in the building is like a chloroplast, which it helps the people in it to regain their energy because it is a place to eat a rest a bit; just like a plant need to gets it photosynthesis for it foods. The people are the cytoskeleton that help support the work structure and help move the products like the cytoskeleton helps move the protein. The stud in the building is like a central vacuole, provide the support for the building just like the central vacuole is giving structure support to the
Organelles are the internal structures of the cell that are important for the cell to survive. Each organelle has a specific function for the cell. The types of organelles in the cell can be different from each other depending on the type of cell. Plant cells and animal cells both have a cytoskeleton, endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough), golgi apparatus, mitochondrion, nucleus, plasma membrane, and ribosomes. Animal and plant cells also have vacuoles, but they are rarely found in animal cells. Vacuoles in animal cells are very small compared to the vacuoles in plant cells. Lysosomes are also rarely found in plant cells but mostly found in animal cells.
