Cells are just like restaurants by Nathan Schumacher https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww en-us 2024-10-28 20:48:59 UTC 2024-10-31 05:45:43 UTC hello@padlet.com A cell membrane is like the kitchen doors of a restaurant. It controls what ingredients (nutrients) come in and what waste goes out nschumacher1_1 https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3191193167 2024-10-28 21:05:55 UTC https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3191193167 The cytoskeleton is like the walls, floor, and ceiling of the restaurant. It brings structural support and gives it an overall shape just like it does for the cell. nschumacher1_1 https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195558003 2024-10-31 03:21:24 UTC https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195558003 The Golgi Apparatus is like the plating area. It's where the used dishes are prepared and organized before going to serve someone. It readies and prepares foods just like the Golgi Apparatus does with proteins as it sends them to other parts of the cell. nschumacher1_1 https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195564481 2024-10-31 03:25:45 UTC https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195564481 The nucleus is like the head chef of the cell. Like a head chef, the cell guides the rest of the cells and knows all the recipes and gives out the instructions for everything the cell needs to produce. nschumacher1_1 https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195571011 2024-10-31 03:30:59 UTC https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195571011 The ribosomes are like the line cooks of the restaurant. They prepare specific dishes by following recipes given by the head chef, similarly to how the ribosomes follow the nucleus' instructions and create proteins. nschumacher1_1 https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195574642 2024-10-31 03:34:11 UTC https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195574642 The lysosomes are like the cleaning staff/janitors of the restaurant. They clean the restaurant and dispose of waste and trash keeping it tidy, just like how the lysosomes clean the cell by breaking down waste and keeping the cell clean. nschumacher1_1 https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195578874 2024-10-31 03:37:09 UTC https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195578874 The cytoplasm is like the air and space that fills the kitchen. Just like how a kitchen has empty space that's filled with air, a cell has cytoplasm within that empty space. nschumacher1_1 https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195583185 2024-10-31 03:40:55 UTC https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195583185 The mitochondria is like the stoves and ovens of the kitchen. Just like how the stoves and ovens in a kitchen heat up and produce energy to help cook the meals, the mitochondria generates energy that helps fuel the cells activities. nschumacher1_1 https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195603682 2024-10-31 04:00:25 UTC https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195603682 The rough ER is like a preparation station that focus on specific dishes. The rough ER is like the place in the kitchen mean't for handling multi-step recipes with many cooks, similar to how the rough ER houses ribosomes ready to make and process proteins. nschumacher1_1 https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195682736 2024-10-31 05:05:31 UTC https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195682736 The smooth ER is like another preparation station for specific dishes. This part of the kitchen specializes in simple tasks like preparing sauces or chopping ingredients, just like how the SER is responsible for producing lipids similar to the oils and sauces prepared by chefs. nschumacher1_1 https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195702304 2024-10-31 05:18:31 UTC https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195702304 The cell wall is like the walls and protection and of a cell. The walls of a restaurant keep outside elements from interacting with it and it keeps everything inside safe just like how the cell wall does for the cell. nschumacher1_1 https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195725024 2024-10-31 05:34:23 UTC https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195725024 The chloroplast would be like having solar panels on the roof of a restaurant. Just like how a solar panel absorbs light from the sun and would power the restaurant, the chloroplast produces energy from sunlight through photosynthesis and fuels the cell. nschumacher1_1 https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195732372 2024-10-31 05:40:29 UTC https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195732372 The vacuole is like the storage or pantry of the restaurant. In a restaurant the storage holds ingredients, cleaning supplies, and extra materials for the restaurant just like how the vacuole stores nutrients, water, and other resources for the cell. nschumacher1_1 https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195738459 2024-10-31 05:45:42 UTC https://padlet.com/nschumacher1_1/aau0xv2ybglp9bww/wish/3195738459
