Plant cell diagram
Analogy
An analogy of the plant cell is a school. The brick on the outside on the cell is like the cell wall because it supports the structure and it gives protction, the doors to enter and exit the school are like the cell membrane because it lets people go in and out of the school, the cytoplasm is like the air around the student because it fills the city so people can breath and the cytoplasm fills the inside of the cell, the trash can is like the vacuole becuase a trash can stores waste and the vacuole also stores waste, the mitochondria is like an electrical panel because it converts energy and the mitochondria also converts energy, the nucleus is like the principal of the school because the principal controls what happens in the school and the nucleus contols what happens in the cell, the chloroplasts can be like a solar panel becuase the chloroplast captures the sun's light and and convert it into energy. A solar panel also converts light from the sun and transforms it into energy. The ribosomes can be like teachers because teachers make other examples from the textbook or other resources to help the students understand the lesson and the ribosomes make protein to help the cell. The Golgi apparatus can be like a school bus because the Golgi apparatus packages and sends protein to the rest of the cell and a school bus sends kids home and sends them to school. The endoplasmic reticulum can be like a library because the endoplasmic reticlulum makes protein so it can support the cell functions and a library is there so it can support kids with books.
Parts of the cell(Plant)
Nucleus
The Nucleus controls the cell. Some things that it controls are eating, movement and reproduction. The Nucleus also acts like a brain, so if something happens to the cell, the Nucleus would know that something inside the cell has happened.
Ribosomes
The Ribosomes make protein for the cell and the cell needs to make protein to support other cell functions.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
The Endoplasmic Reticulum is a fold organelle that makes protein so that it can help support other cell functions
Mitochodria
The Mitochondria is the power house of the cell and they are very small. The Mitochondria takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy for the cell.
Cytoplasm
The Cytoplasm is the fluid that fills the cell. This is where all the organelles are such as the nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, and more.
Cell Membrane
The cell membrane is the outer part of the cell and it keeps all the organelles inside the cell. The cell membrane also controls what enters the cell.
Cell Wall
The Cell Wall protects the cell all around so it can survive. The Cell Wall also allows plants to grow really high. It also holds the cells shape just like a skeleton in your body.
Vacuole
The Vacuole is much larger in the plant cell than the animal cell vacuole. The vacuole stores food, water, and all nutrients the cell needs to survive. They vacuole stores waste products so the cell is not contaminated.
Chloroplasts
They are only found in plant cells. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Every green plant you see is working to convert the energy of the sun into sugars. Then the mitochondria break down the sugars and nutrients. That's what the chloroplasts do.
