Assignment: Cell Analogy Exploration Build your four-column chart below. Cell Organelle Organelle Function/Characteristics What is the organelle compared to? What task/characteristic is the focus for comparison? Write your analogy story below.

Suppose the cell is a factory. It's organelles can be compared to a factory's different functional units. The attached document contains the appropriate analogies.

Explanation:

The nucleus controls and regulates all cellular functions. It harbors the genetic material that contains instructions for all life processes. The plasma membrane is a semi-permeable membrane that controls the transport of substances into and out of the cell.The cytoplasm provide shape and structure to the cell, holds all the organelles and contains all nutrients and biomolecules for cellular functions.The endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes proteins and conducts cellular transport. The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is the site for protein synthesis.Ribosomes are the organelles that actually produce proteins.Golgi apparatus packages substances and prepares transport vesicles for intra or extracellular transport.Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes that degrade waste products of the cell. They are actively involved in degradation of old, worn out organelles.Mitochondria, the power house of the cell, produce energy for cellular processes through cellular respiration.The cytoskeleton consists of filamentous structures that support the cell and its organelles and maintain the cell's structure.

The answer to your question really depends on three things: how much water you have, how cold it is to start out, and how cold the things around it are. water actually freezes when it gets to 32 degrees fahrenheit (0 degrees celsius), but the time it takes to get there may be different.  let's start with the first. if you take two glasses, and fill one with a tiny bit of water, and the other about halfway, then put them both in the freezer, the one with less water will freeze first (you can try this at home, but i recommend using plastic cups and not glass ones).  now let's move on to the second part. let's say you have two glasses, and you fill one with really cold water that has been in the refrigerator, and the other with really hot water from the sink. if you put both of them in the freezer, the one that started out colder will freeze first.  for the third part, let's imagine that you have two glasses with the same amount of water in them, and the water is at the same temperature. imagine putting one outside on a really really cold day in georgia, and having a friend in alaska put one outside on the same day. since it would be so much colder in alaska, the glass of water there would freeze before yours.  so, if you took a tiny bit of really cold water in a glass, and put it outside on a cold day in alaska, it would freeze a lot faster than a big glass of hot water outside on a cold day in georgia.
