The Cell Brochure Project
The Cell Brochure Project
In the next unit you will be studying the parts of a cell and their functions. The purpose of this project is to reinforce your understanding of these functions by comparing the different parts of the cell to the parts of a factory. In some ways a cell resembles a factory, because, like a factory, a cell uses raw materials to manufacture a product. An example of a comparison are the cell walls compared to factory walls because both provide support and protection.
For this project you will be creating a brochure for a factory that will be used as a tour guide for their visitors and new employees. Following, is a list of the things that must be included in your brochure.
1. A company Name (front panel)
2. An opening statement (e.g., Welcome to . . .)
3 A map of the floor plan (your cell).
4. Areas of interest on the tour (cell parts).
5. A description of each stop along the tour, indicating the similarities
between the functions of factory and cell.
6. Number each description and correlating-stop with matching numbers.
7. A company Address and phone number on the bottom of the back panel.
8. Be creative. You may want to add an advertising slogan or company logo
etc. . .
9. Include the following cell structures in your brochure.
|Structure |Function |Analogy (Like A) |
|Cell wall |Support and protection |Factory walls |
|Cell membrane |Boundary, gatekeeper |Security guards |
|Cytoplasm |Site of metabolism |The work area |
|Chloroplasts |Photosynthesis |Snack bar |
|Endoplasmic reticulum |Intracellular transport |Conveyor belts |
|Golgi bodies |Storage, secretion |Packaging, storing, and shipping |
|Lysosomes |Intracellular digestion |Clean-up crew |
|Mitochondria |Cellular respiration |Energy generation plant |
|Nucleus |Controls heredity |Boss’s office and copy machine |
|Ribosomes |Protein synthesis |Assembly line |
|vacuoles |storage |Warehouses |
