Cell Membrane
The Cell Membrane is the outer part of the
cell. Its is on all types of cells and is used for
transport, diffusion, etc. It is also used to keep
all of the cell parts inside of the cell unless
said other wise.
I chose to compare the cell membrane to our
skin. They are the same because they both
protect everything inside them, it is on all
humans. They also import and export things to
benefit it. They are different because one is not
microscopic and the skin is made of many of
cells that have cell membrane.
Nucleus, Chromosomes, And DNA
The Nucleus is the center of the cell, it is the
brain! of the cell. The nucleus controls all of the
cell and contain chromosomes and "N#. Not all
types of cells have a nucleus. $%rokaryotic&
# C'( of a company is the head and
controls most to all of the company. They
both control what the are in and are the
center. #lthough, the C'( contain
chromosome and "N# he or she has to
make big decisions. The nucleus is )ust
there to control the cell.
Ribosomes
*ibosomes are used to turn *N# into
proteins. They are typically located around
the nucleus. They are found in all cells also.
+ome people call them the factory of the
cell.
The *ibosomes are very similar to a factory
because they turn nothing into something. The
factory turns a frame into a car, the ribosomes turn
*N# into proteins. "ifferences are that one makes
cars and one makes proteins.
Cytoplasm
Cytoplasm is a li,uid that has no specific
location in a sense that its everywhere.
There is no real important )ob except keep
everything moving. Cytoplasm can be found
in all cell types.
-ater is similar in a way that it is a li,uid,
and keep things moving. The differences is
water has waves and is mainly affected by
wind. Cytoplasm is not affected by wind
and does not have waves.
Mitochondria
Mitochondria is used to create energy
and is mainly located around the
nucleus but has no specific location, and
is found in all types of cells.
I chose a generator to compare and
contrast to because they both create
energy but on different scales. +uch as one
can power a home. The mitochondria
doesn.t provide power it provides energy
for .
Chloroplast
Chloroplast is used to absorb light and create
food for the plant. This part of the cell has no
particular place but it is only found in plant cells.
# butcher shop cannot absorb sunlight but it
can produce food for us to eat. /utcher and
meats is specifically meant for and animal not
plants.
Cell wall
The Cell wall is only found on a plant
cell. It is basically an extra layer of
protection outside of the cell
membrane.
0ootball pads are the cell walls of
humans. It is an extra layer of protection
and can only be found on football.
"ifferences are that you wont find them
on plants or in microscopic form.
Rough ER
*ough '* is found in any type of cell and
is mostly found more towards the nucleus.
Its )ob is to co produce proteins.
I chose an escalator to compare to
because it hold a lot of people and helps
transport them. They are different by one
is producing something and one does not
$escalator&.

Smooth ER
The +mooth '* is used for producing
metabolism and fats. They can be found in all
cells and also are more dense towards the
nucleus.
This relates to a +mooth '* because they
diagnose and create medicine to help
metabolism and fat. They are different
because they produce fats and metabolism
and the other help them.
Golgi
1olgi is the structure that can be found in all
cells but mostly in a eukaryotic cell. Its basic
function is used for exocytosis and
endocytosis.
# vacuum has two specific )obs, suck
and blow. +imilar to 1olgi that they
both take things in and spit them out.
# 1olgi is used for endocytosis and
exocytosis and vacuum is used for
cleaning.
Vacuoles and Vesicles
# 2acuole is a bubble of a li,uid that is
found in all type of cells and has no
specific location. There is no )ob for this
structure and is basically a place holder.
I chose to relate the vacuoles and the
large central vacuole to bubbles because
they look alike. They are different because
the vacuole is smaller and full of li,uid
and the bubble is made from li,uid but
has air in it..
arge Central Vacuole
This structure is found in a plant cell
only and is basically a vacuole but
large. #nd has no specific )ob or
benefit.
/ubble are very similar to a large
central vacuole because they are both
shaped like each other. "ifferences
are that the vacuole is full of li,uid and
the bubble is full of air.
ysosomes
3ysosome are mostly found in
eukaryotic animal cells. Their )ob is
to break down things and are
sometime called the digestive
system of the cell.
# blender and a lysosome relate in
a way that they both are used to
break things down. Their
differences are that one is the
digestive system of a cell and the
blender is used to grind food to
make a drink or a smoothie.
Centrioles
Centrioles are only found in an animal cell
and are mostly are right next to each other or
on opposite side of the nucleus. Their )ob is
to produce spindle fibers for cell division.
# coax cable adapter is similar to a
centriole because they both have a )ob
in connecting. The centriole create
spindle fibers for division and the
adapter is used to extend or connect
the cable.
Microtubules
This structures basic )ob is to form an
exoskeleton inside of the cytoplasm. It
can be found in the all forms of cells.
-ires are very similar to a microtubules in
the sense that they both come in large
numbers and very random. -hat makes
them different is that one is used to
transport , and the microtubules are used to
make an exoskeleton.
