The cell is like a Nuclear Power Plant because...



Cell Wall

The cell wall is like the containment structure. This is because just like the
containment structure protects the nuclear power plant, the cell wall protects
the cell.

An image of the Cell Membrane

Cell Membrane

The cell membrane is like the security guards of a nuclear power plant. Just
like guards control who goes in and out, the cell membrane controls what goes in
and out of the cell.







Nucleus

The nucleus is like the reactor of the nuclear power plant. Just like the reactor
controls the power plant, the nucleus controls the cell.

An image of the Cytoplasm

Cytoplasm

The cytoplasm is like the rooms in the plant because the power plant's rooms
house the parts of the power plant just like the cytoplasm houses the organelles.








Mitochondria

The mitochondria are like the steam generators in the power plant. It produces steam to make electricity
just like the mitochondria makes energy to power the ribosomes to make proteins.

An image of the ribosomes

Ribosomes

The ribosomes are like the electric generators in nuclear power plants because
the electric generators create electricity just like the ribosomes make the proteins.








Golgi Body

The golgi body is like the transformer because the transformer gets electricity ready to go by adjusting it
just like the golgi body gets proteins ready to go.

An image of the endoplasmic reticulum

Endoplasmic Reticulum

The ER is like the powerline because the powerline moves electricity along to the city
just like the ER moves the proteins to be digested.








Lysosomes

The lysosomes are like the waste managment systems in power plants.
Just like waste managment breaks down fissure, lysosomes break down protein.

An image of the vacuole

Vacuole(s)

The vacuole is like the spent fuel storage, since just like the storage pool stores used fuel,
the vacuole stores the waste produced by the cell.








Chloroplast

The chloroplast is like the entire nuclear powerplant, because like the power plant produces energy
from nuclear fissure the chloroplast produces food from sunlight.

An image of the nucleolus

Nucleolus

The nucleolus is like the people who built the plant because they
build the electric generator just like the nucleolus builds the ribosomes.








Protein

The protein is like the electricity produced from the power plant because the proteins
were produced from the ribosomes, and the generator and the ribosomes are alike.
