The nucleus has the knowledge of the layout and it helps keep track of the yard. This is like the owner because they keep track of the yard and know what to do and what it is like. ]]> 2017-01-26 16:22:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kaelynn_herbon/9p15a35xdwr2/wish/149656061 kaelynn_herbon https://padlet.com/kaelynn_herbon/9p15a35xdwr2/wish/149660815  A fence in a backyard is similar to the cell membrane/wall. It both protects and keeps track of what goes in and out. In a cell, it protects the cell from harmful things and it also regulates what goes in and out of the cell. A fence in a backyard is similar to this because it can have a gate that locks to protect and it can also keep things out.]]> 2017-01-26 16:32:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kaelynn_herbon/9p15a35xdwr2/wish/149660815 kaelynn_herbon https://padlet.com/kaelynn_herbon/9p15a35xdwr2/wish/149661531 The Golgi Apparatus is similar to a storage bin for a backyard. The Golgi Body organizes proteins and other materials for the cells. This is like a storage area in a backyard that stores and organizes toys and tools for the owners. It is able to organize toys and things that need to be stored that the owners use just like how the cell uses the materials that the Golgi organizes and sends out.]]> 2017-01-26 16:34:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kaelynn_herbon/9p15a35xdwr2/wish/149661531 kaelynn_herbon https://padlet.com/kaelynn_herbon/9p15a35xdwr2/wish/149664695 The ribosomes in a cell are similar to a gardener or the person that helps the garden and takes care of the backyard. Ribosomes in a cell help assemble and make proteins that the cell uses. This is like a gardener because they give and help make things for the backyard to grow and be healthy. ]]> 2017-01-26 16:41:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kaelynn_herbon/9p15a35xdwr2/wish/149664695 kaelynn_herbon https://padlet.com/kaelynn_herbon/9p15a35xdwr2/wish/149665150  The grass in a backyard is similar to the cytoplasm in a cell. The grass covers most of the ground, and supports other parts of the yard. This is like the cytoplasm in a cell supports the cell because it holds all of the organelles. ]]> 2017-01-26 16:42:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kaelynn_herbon/9p15a35xdwr2/wish/149665150 kaelynn_herbon https://padlet.com/kaelynn_herbon/9p15a35xdwr2/wish/149666951 The ER (Endoplasmic Reticulum) is like a bumble bee. The ER is known for transporting materials which are mostly proteins. It can have two parts, a smooth ER and a rough ER. The ER would be rough if it has ribosomes attached. The ER would be smooth when it doesn’t have ribosomes attached. This is similar to a bumble bee because they transport materials which are mostly pollen, and they can either have pollen on them or not, which is like the rough and smooth ER. ]]> 2017-01-26 16:46:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kaelynn_herbon/9p15a35xdwr2/wish/149666951 kaelynn_herbon https://padlet.com/kaelynn_herbon/9p15a35xdwr2/wish/149667496 A vacuole in a cell is like a shed in a backyard. A vacuole holds and stores food and water that the cell uses for growth and repair. This is just like a backyard shed because it is used for holding various things like lawn mowers or toys and tools. ]]> 2017-01-26 16:48:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kaelynn_herbon/9p15a35xdwr2/wish/149667496 kaelynn_herbon https://padlet.com/kaelynn_herbon/9p15a35xdwr2/wish/149668260  A chloroplast is similar to a grill in a backyard. The chloroplast is responsible for making the food for the cell. This is similar to a grill in a backyard because the grill is usually used to make food for the people using the grill/backyard. ]]> 2017-01-26 16:49:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kaelynn_herbon/9p15a35xdwr2/wish/149668260 kaelynn_herbon https://padlet.com/kaelynn_herbon/9p15a35xdwr2/wish/149668478 A trash can is similar to lysosomes in a cell. Lysosomes are often referred to as “trash collectors.” This is because they break down old organelles and trash from the cell. They are helpful because they get rid of the things that the cell doesn’t need anymore. This is similar to a trash can because a trash can is used to throw away things that the people using the yard don’t need anymore.]]> 2017-01-26 16:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kaelynn_herbon/9p15a35xdwr2/wish/149668478 kaelynn_herbon https://padlet.com/kaelynn_herbon/9p15a35xdwr2/wish/149792828  Mitochondria in a cell is like the earthworms in a yard. The mitochondria breaks down food and turns it into energy for the cell. This is similar to the worms because they break down their food and turn it into soil for the backyard. ]]> 2017-01-27 02:03:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kaelynn_herbon/9p15a35xdwr2/wish/149792828 kaelynn_herbon https://padlet.com/kaelynn_herbon/9p15a35xdwr2/wish/149920180 For this project an animal cell will be compared to a backyard. Here is a picture of a eukaryote cell, which are animal cells.]]> 2017-01-27 16:11:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kaelynn_herbon/9p15a35xdwr2/wish/149920180
