See Cell City Analogy Web Quest Guidelines for full instructions.

Have Fun on the Tour Bus!!

Cell Structure / Organelle / Analogy / Part of the City / Function or Job
1.  Cell Membrane (plasma membrane)
2. Mitochondria
3. Nucleus
4. Ribosomes
5. Lysosomes
6. Cytoskeleton

Please feel free to take the tour again to find the answers to the following questions?

Question / Please answer in full, complete, well thought out sentences:
1.  What are the names of your tour guides on the bus?
2.  What needs to get into the cell and cross the cell membrane?
3.  What needs to get out of the cell and cross the cell membrane?
4.  Constant production of what is needed to keep the city alive?
5.  The most common fuel the mitochondria consume is what?
6.  When the Mitochondria produce ATP, what products are produced as waste products?
7.  In a cell, different functions are separated into different what?
8.  The chromosomes reside in what structure?

15.  About how long does it take a cell to duplicate it’s entire contents and produce two daughter cells?
16.  Define apoptosis.

Drawing Conclusions: At then end of the bus tour, your tour guides make several conclusions. In your own words, write how making analogies to a city has helped you better understand how cells work and the specific functions of each cell structure or organelle. Then think of any other type of analogy you can make to help you better understand the cell structure and function? Explain.
