The purpose of this project is to show how the main rural, urban. and suburban areas of Gage County, and Beatrice represent the organelles, and their functions within the cell.

# data[].attributes.body
The nucleus is a membrane bound structure that carries coded information in the form of DNA.

# data[].attributes.body
For the structure representing the nucleus, I chose our city's courthouse. The courthouse holds important files, just like the nucleus holds DNA. The courthouse also contains other functions, like the DMV, court trials, and more. It is equally as important as the nucleus of the cell.

The cell membrane is an outer boundary that covers the cell's surface, and also acts as a barrier to control movement outside and inside of the cell.

2. Cell / Plasma Membrane -- Gage County Line

# data[].attributes.body
Just like the cell membrane, county lines control what happens within and outside of the line. The things that go on inside of the county line (cell membrane) are important to every part of the city (cell). What happens outside of the county line (cell membrane) is not as important to the parts of the city (cell).

Cytoplasm is a region inside of a cell that holds the cytoskeleton and cell organelles, except for the nucleus. The consistency is compared to jelly that you would spread on toast.

# data[].attributes.body
For the organelle cytoplasm, I chose downtown Beatrice for representation. Cytoplasm's function is basically just to hold things together, in place, so things aren't flying around. I chose downtown Beatrice because it holds everything together. If we didn't have the buildings downtown, all we would have are houses. Houses are important, but we would be missing the rest of the organelles.

The mitochondrion breaks down food particles to release energy. It is considered to be the powerhouse of the cell.

The mitochondrion is known famously for being the "powerhouse of the cell," which is absolutely correct. Due to this, the mitochondrion can be easily compared to power supplies, power plants, or almost anything that provides power to a city. I chose NPPD as they are widely used for electricity necessities all across Gage County.

There are two types of the endoplasmic reticulum; the smooth E.R. and the rough E.R. The rough E.R. is used as a transportation system that lets organelles travel around within the cell. The smooth E.R. transports proteins, and produces cholesterol and hormones. It can also detoxify the cell.

# data[].attributes.body
To enter Beatrice, you either have to come in from Highway 136 or Highway 77, which are Beatrice's largest commute systems. They both keep our city running every day. We drive our cars like the organelles that transport around in the endoplasmic reticulum. Without ER or the highways of Beatrice, there would be not commute within Beatrice or the cell.

# data[].attributes.body
The Golgi apparatus, also known as the Golgi Body, is a structure composed of closely stacked and flattened membrane sacs. The Golgi apparatus modifies, packages, and distributes proteins and lipids into a vesicle.

# data[].attributes.body
The USPS Office in Beatrice has the same job as the Golgi apparatus. The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, then packages proteins. The parcels then get sent to places around the cell or they are secreted. The USPS Office gives you the ability to send your parcel to basically anywhere in the city, better yet, all around the world.

Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes. Lysosomes are important, as they break down food and kill pathogens (bacteria that can cause diseases).

# data[].attributes.body
The nucleolus is a gel-like structure withing the nucleus of the cell. The function of the nucleus is to make ribosomes.

8. Nucleolus -- Gage County Courthouse - Courtroom

# data[].attributes.body
Since the nucleolus could be considered the nucleus of the nucleus, I chose the most important thing inside of the cell city nucleus (GCC), the courtroom. The courtroom could be easily compared to the nucleolus of the courthouse because it is the main staple to the courthouse. Without any courtrooms, there would be no courthouse, just how if the nucleolus did not exist, there would be no nucleus.

# data[].attributes.body
Ribosomes are created from the nucleus. Their job is usually to make proteins though attaching amino acids into a long chain. They are either attached to the membrane of the rough endoplasmic reticulum or they are transporting around in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

# data[].attributes.body
Since I compared the endoplasmic reticulum to a highway, it would make sense that a ribosome would function as a car. Cars transport around on the highway (endoplasmic reticulum), and they create carbon dioxide emissions (proteins).

The vacuole is filled with a liquid that contains food, water, waste, and color pigments. It is basically used as storage, and can also be used when the cell needs materials that it doesn't have.

The vacuole is easily comparable to a Wal-Mart store. Just like the vacuole, Wal-Mart holds nutrients (food) ahd many other things that the cell needs (Beatrice).
