Cell Cards

The document lists various parts of a city and their functions that correspond to organelles in a cell and their functions. Specifically, it compares city hall to the nucleus, streets and roads to the cytoskeleton, and community to the cytoplasm. It also pairs manufacturing plants with the smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, and the power plant with mitochondria.

City Hall

Postal Service

City Border

Demolition Service

City Plans

Power Plant

Community

Manufacturing Plants

Streets and Roads


Workers

Nucleus
Function: This is a large
organelle near the center of the
cell that contains all the genetic
material, or DNA of the cell. It is
the control center of the cell or
the main building of the cell.

Cytoskeleton
Function: This organelle holds
the cell in its shape and also
holds it together. Another
function of this organelle is to
move things around the cell.

Ribosomes

Mitochondria

Function: These organelles


create proteins that are very
important to the successful
function of the cell. The cell
nucleus is its boss and tells it
when and what proteins to
make.

Function: This organelle


produces all the energy that the
cell needs. It converts chemical
energy from food into energy
that the cell can use.

Smooth and Rough


Endoplasmic Reticulum

Cell Membrane

Function: The rough


endoplasmic reticulum takes
proteins from the ribosomes
attached to it and finishes
manufacturing them. The
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
manufactures and stores
chemicals that the cell can use.

Function: This organelle


surrounds the entire cell and
holds it together. It separates
the cell from everything that is
outside of it. It is also controls
what is able to pass into and out
of the cell.

Lysosomes
Function: This organelle digests
and breaks down old or
damaged organelles.

Golgi Apparatus
(Golgi Body)
Function: This organelle creates
chemicals that it then delivers to
the outside of the cell.

Cytoplasm

Chromosomes

Function: The gel-like substance


that is within the entire cell. All
of the cells organelles are
supported and suspended in it.

Function: Contains the genetic


material that plans what type of
cell it is. When a cell multiplies it
is used to determine what the
new cell will look like.

Key:
City Hall = Nucleus
Streets and Roads = Cytoskeleton
Community = Cytoplasm
Workers = Ribosomes
Manufacturing Plants = Smooth and Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Power Plant = Mitochondria
City Plans = Chromosomes
City Border = Cell Membrane
Demolition Service = Lysosomes
Postal Service = Golgi Apparatus
