Animal Cell/Car Analogy by Emilee Lukens

Carburetor/Mitochondrion

The mitochondrion is an organelle that alters raw materials into forms that can be used by the cell, much like the carburetor mixes fuel and air into a usable source of energy.

Chassis/Cytoskeleton

The Cytoskeleton is the part of the cell that gives it its shape. The cytoskeleton can also move organelles around inside the cell.

Gas Tank/Vesicle

A vesicle stores materials just like how a gas tank stores gas for the car to operate.

Nucleus/ Steering Wheel

The nucleus is alike to a steering wheel because they are the pieces that control the vehicle or cell.

Exhaust Pipe/Golgi Complex

The Golgi Apparatus is an organelle that packages cellular materials and either stores them or sends them to other places. The golgi apparatus is like the exhaust pipe in that the exhaust pipe also sends materials out of the car.

Cell Membrane/Car Frame

The cell membrane and the car frame are alike because they let objects in and out of the main body of the car or cell and protect it as well.

ER/Tubes

The ER carries materials around along with assembling proteins and lipids compared to the tubes that transport gas and other liquids around a vehicle.

Nucleolus/ Car Manual

The nucleolus assembles ribosomes like how a car manual assembles understanding

Gasoline/Ribosome

liam_m_patton — 2015-10-16 20:11:17 UTC

Ribosomes fulfill the same purpose in a cell as gasoline does in a vehicle. The ribosomes manufacture protein that the cell needs to survive. The fuel serves to not only provide energy to the vehicle, but it also produces greenhouse gasses.

Spark Plug/Lysosome

liam_m_patton — 2015-10-16 20:20:50 UTC

Lysomes are similar to spark plugs because lysosomes break down and recycle macromolecules like how a spark plug creates a small combustion with a gasoline/air mixture to create energy.
