Your assignment this week is to create an analogy of a cell to a real-world system using the structure and functions of as many organelles as possible. You will write and post to the Discussion Board your own analogy of a cell which incorporates as many of the functions of the organelles we have studied as possible. List of cellular structures to include in your analogy: Plasma membrane; Cytoskeleton (animals) / Cell walls (plants); Cytoplasm; Nucleus; DNA; Mitochondria; Chloroplasts; Ribosomes; Endoplasmic reticulum; Golgi complex; Lysosomes; Cilia & flagella (if applicable).
Some good analogies would be to use a post office, the government, a factory, and rooms in a house. Be creative! When you type in your response, please label your subject heading with the title of your analogy.
An example of this assignment would be to compare a cell to a Cookie Factory. The nucleus (the control center of the cell) is the central office where the secret cookie recipe, the DNA, is stored. A company messenger, the RNA, copies the recipe in the nucleus and brings it to the baker, the ribosome. The vacuoles are analogous to the tubs that store the ingredients used to make the cookies. The ribosome uses the recipe copied by the DNA to make the cookies, or proteins. The mitochondria is the oven that bakes the cookies. The cookies are sent on conveyor belts (the endoplasmic reticulum) to the packing department, the Golgi apparatus, where they are packaged and labeled for shipping; the packaged cookies are then sent out of the cell through the cell membrane via vesicles (delivery trucks). The lysosome is the janitor that sweeps up any stray crumbs.
