Cell membrane

trangsruda — 2013-09-12 14:13:00 UTC

A cell membrane is just like a security guard,

They both decide what goes in and out.

Cytoplasym

trangsruda — 2013-09-12 14:15:46 UTC

Cytoplasm is like Oxygen,

They both fill a space and are clear

Nucleus

trangsruda — 2013-09-12 14:17:07 UTC

Nucleus is like a brain, it controls the entire "body"

Mitochondria

trangsruda — 2013-09-12 14:18:31 UTC

Mitochondria is just like a lake dam,

it converts things into energy.

Ribosomes

trangsruda — 2013-09-12 14:39:12 UTC

Ribosomes are like factories, they make the things you need

Endoplasmic reticulum

The ER is like a bridge it is the over pass for the ingredients for the cell

Cell wall: the hard rigid structure found only in plants, that is the outer part of the cell and protects the cell membrane. This organelle contributes to homeostasis by keeping the cell safe by its rigid structure.

Chloroplasts: an organelle containing chlorophyll and other pigments and carries out photosynthesis. This organelle helps with homeostasis by making food for the cell so that the cell can be balanced and function.

Mitochondria: an organelle containing enzymes responsible for producing energy. Homeostasis needs energy to be live so, mitochondria produces energy within the cell.

Nucleus: a part of the cell responsible for growth, reproduction, and containing the cell. This organelle helps with homeostasis by expressing genes that lead to proteins that are enzymes, that drive chemical reactions which maintain homeostasis chemically.

Ribosomes: this is the organelle that is the manufacture of proteins using water and sugars. it helps with homeostasis by making the proteins to make the cell function.

Cell membrane: a flexible, ultra thin layer that is the outer part of a cell that is used for communicating and identification and decides what goes in and out of the cell. It helps the cell maintain homeostasis by keeping most bad things out of the cell protecting it from viruses.

Cytoplasm: cytoplasm is a jelly like filling in a cell used for storage. It helps maintain homeostasis by holding all of the organelles that help homeostasis mainly stay in place.

Endoplasmic reticulum:

a Network of tubular membranes within the cytoplasm of the cell ,occurring either with a smooth surface or studded with involved in the transport of materials. It helps maintain homeostasis by transporting oxygen from the lungs to all throughout the body.

Vacuole: a tiny cavity in the cells cytoplasm filled with fluid. It helps homeostasis by regulating the amount of water inside the cell.

Vacuole

trangsruda — 2013-09-13 01:10:48 UTC

A vacuole is just like a fridge, it stores food

And water

Chloroplasts

trangsruda — 2013-09-13 01:58:25 UTC

Chloroplasts are like a farm, that is where our food comes from before the grocery store

Cell wall

trangsruda — 2013-09-13 02:02:09 UTC

A cell wall is just like a shelving unit, it's hard, ridged, stackable, and holds things inside.
