Application of the A&P of the Animal & Plant Cell: Relate the structures of the cell (animal or plant) to parts of some other concrete or abstract structure and explain how each structure connects.
Example: Gas to a car is to the mitochondria of the cell. Explanation: Without gas a car would have no means of energy for power to move. Just as the mitochondria "powerhouse" provides energy for the cell.
* Whatever structure chosen to compare the cell to that structure must be used throughout the entire comparison. . * There should be approximately thirteen (13) comparisons. One for each part of the cell. Please number each part in your comparison.

A Plant cell can be compared to a town/ city

1. Cell membrane---security guards around the city which controls what enters or leaves the city. Cell membrane decides what materials can enter or leave the cell.

2. Nucleus--A city hall can be compared to nucleus as both are the controlling centers like how nucleus controls the cell.

3. Chromatin (DNA/RNA)--library which stores information in the form of books. DNA(chromatin) has all the information for functioning of the cell.

4. Mitochondria--Power plant as both are involved in generating energy. Mitochondria produces energy by burning glucose.

5. Golgi apparatus--Post office as both are involved in the delivery of things/ materials to their respective places.

6.Ribosomes--factories as both are involved in synthesis of materials. Ribosomes produce most important materials called proteins.

7.Lysosomes--Recycling centers . Because lysosomes have enzymes and help in recycling the matter.

8. Vacuoles--ware houses where materials are stored for future use. Vacuoles store lot of water and other substances.

9. Endoplasmic reticulum--Roads in a city as both help in movement of the traffic. Endoplasmic reticulum transports materials through them.

10.Chloroplasts --solar power panels converting solar energy in to usable form. Chloroplasts convert solar energy in to ATP.

11. Cell wall--city wall as both give protection.

12. Proteins--workers of a city as both are important as they do lot of jobs . Proteins perform many functions in cell.

13. Vesicles--delivery vans as both deliver materials along with them. Cell passes materials by packing them in to small bags called vesicles.
