This is an analogy between cells and schools.

Cells are like schools

This is the Endoplasmic Reticulum which is also called the ER. The ER is like a school bus. The ER helps transport molecules and the school bus helps get kids to school

This is a cytoplasm. It is everywhere It helps keep everything in place just like the platform of the school. Without it the school wouldn't be able to stand up.

This is the nucleus. The nucleus is like the principal. The principal control what goes on in the school just like how the nucleus controls what goes on in the cell.

This is a ribosome. Ribosomes are a lot like lunch ladies. Ribosomes create nutrients for the cell and lunch ladies make and serve food.

This here is an animal cell. I will be showing you how animal cells are a lot like schools.

This is a mitochondria. It is the powerhouse of the cell and just like the electricity in the school. The electricity helps run the computers and provides light.

This is the lysosome. Lysosomes help clean up the cells just like how janitors help clean up the school.

This is a vacuole. Storage rooms are a lot like vacuoles. They both store food, water, and other necessary supplies.

This here is the membrane. The membrane controls what goes in and out. It is almost like the people in the office who lock and unlock the front door to let people in and out, or it can be just the door

This is a golgi body. Golgi bodies are a lot like teachers. Golgi bodies help process and and package molecules from the ER. Teachers help teach kids what they need to know.
