Inside Club Cell

Introduction to Cell
Organelles

Cell Theory Review

Three

main points to the Cell Theory:

Every living thing is made of one or
more cells.
Cells carry out the functions needed to
support life.
Cells can only come from other living
cells.

Whats inside a cell?

Organelles parts inside of a cell

that have specific functions little
organs

Welcome to CLUB CELL!!!

Nucleus
FUNCTION
Controls

the cell
and contains its
genetic material
(DNA)

Nucleus
ANALOGY
The

nucleus is like
the club owner
because they
control what
happens in the
club.

Cell Membrane
FUNCTION
The

semipermeable
membrane of
the cell that
lets materials
in or out

Cell Membrane
ANALOGY
The

cell
membrane is
like a bouncer
because it only
lets certain
things in or out

Mitochondria
FUNCTION
To

process
nutrients and
oxygen into
energy

Mitochondria
ANALOGY
The

mitochondria
are like a dj
because they play
music to give the
club energy

Lysosome
FUNCTION
To

digest and
break down
materials in the
cell

Lysosome
ANALOGY
The

lysosomes are
like the people
dancing in the
clubthey have
one purpose: to
break it down!

Cytoplasm
FUNCTION
The

fluid that
fills the cell
and supports
the organelles

Cytoplasm
ANALOGY
The

cytoplasm
is like the
crowd during
crowd surfing.

Vacuoles
FUNCTION
To

store
materials for the
cell
Ex:

nutrients,
water, waste, etc.

Vacuole
ANALOGY
The

vacuoles are
like closets or
storage rooms.
They can be used
to store many
things.

Endoplasmic Reticulum
FUNCTION
To

package
and deliver
materials
needed to
make proteins

Endoplasmic Reticulum
ANALOGY
The

E.R. is like the

delivery driver
because it
packages &
delivers all the
necessary items to
run the club

Ribosomes
FUNCTION
To

build
proteins for the
cell and
organism

Ribosomes
ANALOGY
The

ribosomes are
like chefs because
they combine
delivered
ingredients to make
complex dishes
(proteins)

Golgi Bodies
FUNCTION
Sends

the
proteins where
they are needed

Golgi Bodies
ANALOGY
The

Golgi Bodies
are like
server/waiter
because they take
the dishes
(proteins) where
they need to go

Complete back of note sheet

Use

your technology to complete the

back of the note guide!
Complete the first activity and then
begin your own analogy!

Classwork/Homework:
Make your own illustrated set of analogies for
the organelles inside an animal cell, and you
must include:
Name & function of each organelle!
Illustration for each organelle we covered in
class!
Explanation of the analogy!
Example:

Your theme could be a

school, so the principal would be the nucleus
because they control the school and make
decisions like the nucleus does in the cell.
