Cell Part Analogies: Comparing Cell Components to Everyday Objects, Slides of Biology

Analogies between various parts of a cell and everyday objects, helping to explain their functions in a simple and relatable manner. The cell membrane is likened to a screen door, the cytoplasm to nails or glue, the nucleus to a tour guide, and so on. This resource is ideal for students learning about cell biology, particularly at the high school level.

CELL PART ANALOGIES

Parts of a Cell

Cytoplasm

  • (^) The cytoplasm holds cell parts in place.
  • (^) The cytoplasm is like nails or glue because it holds things together.

Nucleus

  • (^) The nucleus controls all of the cells activities.
  • (^) A nucleus is like a tour guide because they control all of the places people go on tours.

Endoplasmic Reticulum

  • (^) The endoplasmic reticulum is like a road way in the cell.
  • (^) The endoplasmic reticulum is like a freeway, because it gets people from place to place.

Golgi Apparatus

  • (^) The Golgi apparatus assembles, packages and delivers.
  • (^) The Golgi apparatus is like a post office, because the whole point of a post office is to package and deliver things.

Centriole

  • (^) A centriole helps organize the cell when it is divided.
  • (^) A centriole is like a secretary because they organize things.

Cytoskeleton

  • (^) The cytoskeleton holds the shape of the cell.
  • (^) The cytoskeleton is like the beams of a house because they help the house hold it’s shape.

Vacuole

  • (^) The vacuole is used for storage (mostly for water).
  • (^) The vacuole is like a cupboard because you store things in it.

Chloroplast

  • (^) The chloroplast turns energy from the sun into energy the cell can use.
  • (^) A chloroplast is like a solar panel because it uses the sun’s energy for other things.
