Cell Analogy



ACA Cell Analogy Poster – 100 pt. Project

(You can receive 10 bonus pts. for a 3-D Project)

DUE Tuesday Oct 24th

NAMES:________________________________________________________________ PER: __________

To gain better understanding of the functions of each cell part and process, you will be constructing a cell analogy poster. In this poster you will relate the ANIMAL or PLANT CELL to another system we see in everyday life. Examples would be a school, castle, factory, ocean, amusement park, club, restaurant, town etc. Each structure within the cell will also have to relate to something within the system chosen.

If the ANIMAL or PLANT CELL was like a KINGDOM then…

|the… |would be… |because… |

|Nucleus |The castle |The nucleus controls the cell’s functions and contains DNA. The castle controls the kingdom and contains the|

| | |queen. |

|DNA |The Queen |DNA contains the instructions for making proteins and enzymes, which repair the cell and drive cell |

| | |processes. The queen’s brain contains all the information needed to make decisions to run the kingdom. |

|Ribosomes |The artisans |The artisans make and build items such as carts, houses, and bread that are necessary for the kingdom to |

| | |function. In the same way, ribosomes in the cell make molecules to repair the cell and enzymes to control |

| | |cellular reactions. |

This text will then need to be made in to a poster illustrating the kingdom with a castle, a queen, and artisans.

What does a quality analogy look like? To get full credit for each analogy, think about this:

• Does the analogy for this structure/process make sense? Are the two things truly comparable?

• Does the illustration reflect my explanation?

Please choose ONE type of cell (plant or animal), and check off each organelle as you add it in your chart:
