This is similar to the mitochondria which convert chemical energy from nutrients (i.e. glucose) to usable energy (ATP) for the cell to work.]]> 2020-10-12 20:30:51 UTC https://padlet.com/tv44962/mgc45wuk3nnexbhv/wish/822844333 tv44962 https://padlet.com/tv44962/mgc45wuk3nnexbhv/wish/822881615 The recycling plant takes in used materials and breaks them down into their components so they can be reused. This is like a lysosome taking in worn-out cell parts, and breaking them down into their components so they can be used again within the cell.]]> 2020-10-12 20:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tv44962/mgc45wuk3nnexbhv/wish/822881615 tv44962 https://padlet.com/tv44962/mgc45wuk3nnexbhv/wish/822884840 The highways and roads serve to get materials in the city to their final destination. The endoplasmic reticulum can transport lipids and proteins to their final destination.]]> 2020-10-12 20:52:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tv44962/mgc45wuk3nnexbhv/wish/822884840 tv44962 https://padlet.com/tv44962/mgc45wuk3nnexbhv/wish/822888402 Factories contains workers that assemble products. For example, a car factory contains workers that assemble cars. This is similar to the ribosome, as it is the worker that assembles proteins for the cell.]]> 2020-10-12 20:54:32 UTC https://padlet.com/tv44962/mgc45wuk3nnexbhv/wish/822888402 tv44962 https://padlet.com/tv44962/mgc45wuk3nnexbhv/wish/822892270 The boarder of a city may contain a boarder crossing that is guarded. Who can enter and leave the city is controlled at the boarder. This is similar to the cell membrane which is selectively permeable and controls what can enter and leave the cell.]]> 2020-10-12 20:56:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tv44962/mgc45wuk3nnexbhv/wish/822892270
