Cells - CFU

This organelle is compared to our digestive system because it breaks down food and other worn-out parts for the cell.

• Ribosome

• Mitochondria

• Lysosome

This organelle is compared to all rooms surrounding the main office and has a jelly like texture.

• Cell Membrane

• Cytoplasm

• Cell Wall

The power house organelle or the cafeteria. It converts food into chemical energy

• Golgi Body/Apparatus

• Mitochondria

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

The organelle compared to the school security because it controls what enters and leaves the cell.

• Cell Membrane

• Cell Wall

• Lysosome

The organelle compared to teachers because it receives materials from the ER and sends materials to other parts of the cell.

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Lysosome

• Golgi Body/Apparatus

This organelle is compared to the hallway because it transports materials and proteins from one part of the cell to another.

• Golgi Body/Apparatus

• Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

• Cytoplasm

One of the organelles only found on plants, it protects the cell like a fence.

• Chloroplast

• Vacuole

• Cell Wall

The organelle identified as the principal or boss because it controls the other parts of the cell.

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

The organelle compared to lockers because it stores water and materials. It is found in all plant cells and some animal cells.

• Cell Membrane

• Mitochondria

• Vacuole

The organelle in plants cells that acts similar to the cafeteria crew. It converts sunlight into energy by photosynthesis.

• Cell Wall

• Cytoplasm

• Chloroplast
