The cell membraneThe cell membrane is like a sieve. A sieve Controls what parts of the flour come out, and the cell membrane Controls what things come into the cell.

The cell membrane Controls what comes in and out of the cell.

The mitochondrionThe mitochondrion is like an oven. An oven gives energy to heat and make the food, and the mitochondria gives energy to the cell.

The mitochondrion gives energy to the cell.

The vacuoleThe vacuole is like a closet. A closet stores things, and a vacuole stores things for the cell.

The vacuole is the storage space of the cell.

The lysosomesThe lysosome is like a fruit juicer. A fruit juicer keeps the good parts of the fruit and throws out the peels, and the lysosome breaks down the chemicals and throws out old organelles.The lysosomes throw out waste and break down chemicals in the cell.

The Golgi apparatus

The Golgi is like a ladle. A ladle gets the soup ready for people to eat, and the Golgi packages and ships the things that need to go out of the cell.

Also knows as the Golgi

The Golgi is the shipping and packaging department in the cell.

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum

The smooth ER is like a counter in our kitchen. A counter can be used to move things around in the kitchen, and the smooth ER can be used to move things around the cell.

Also known as the smooth ER

The smooth ER serves as a pathway through the cell.

The rough endoplasmic reticulum

The rough ER is like a stove. A stove holds the saucepan, and the rough ER holds the ribosomes.

Also known as the rough ER

The rough ER is a dark colored pathway with ribosomes stuck to it.

The ribosomesThe ribosomes are like a saucepan. A saucepan makes food, and ribosomes make proteins.

Ribosomes are little figures in a cell that stick onto the rough endoplasmic reticulum and make proteins.

The nucleus and it's partsThe nuclear membrane

The nucleolus And the nuclear pores

The nucleus

The nucleus is like a cookbook. A cookbook gives you instructions on how to cook to something, and the nucleus gives instructions to the cell.

The nuclear membraneThe nuclear membrane is like a measuring cup. A measuring cups controls how much you put into what you are making, and the nuclear membrane controls what comes in and out of the nucleus.

The nuclear membrane controls what comes in and out of the nucleus.

The nucleolus

The nucleolus is like a fridge. A fridge stores food, and the nucleolus stores ribosomes.

The nucleolus stores ribosomes.

The nuclear poresThe nuclear pores are like a jug. A jug passes water through the room, and the nuclear pores pass the ribosomes and molecules out of the nucleus.

The nuclear pores are pathways from the nucleus to the cell.
