The Analogy of Plant Cells to Airports By Amanda VentiGan and gail bernardo

Plant Cell

It is the structural anf functional unit of a plant

Plant cells are eukaryotic cells that differ in several key aspects from the cells of other eukaryotic organisms.

Differs from plant cells by having chloroplasts and a large central vacuole

Airports

Cell Wall

Provides rigidity and structural support and cell to cell interaction

Outermost rigid covering of the plant cell

It is a salient feature of plant cell

Main Doors

The doors of the airport is rigid

Keeps unwanted objects/dirt from entering the airport

Cell Membrane

Also known as the plasma membrane

The outer lining of the cell

Located inside the cell wall

Security Scanning / X-ray Scanners

Determines the people and the baggages that can / cannot go inside the airport by X-ray scanning

Nucleus

It is the control center of the cell

It is bound by a double membrane known as the nuclear envelope. (contains pores)

directs all the activities of the cell and also help in protein formation.

Trafic Control Center / Control Center

Makes sure that the pilots of the airplanes lands and takes-off safety to their destination

Prevents accidents from happening by making sure the pilots and flight attendants of the planes knows if the surrounding is clear before landing/take-off

Controls all the operations in the airport

Endoplasmic Reticulum

a membrane bound compartment, which look like flattened sacs lined side by side.

It is a large network of interconnecting membrane tunnels.

It is composed of both rough endoplasmic reticulum (ribosomes) and smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

They are responsible for protein translation, and protein transport to be used in the cell membrane.

They also aid in sequestration of calcium, and production and storage of glycogen and other macromolecules.

Airplanes

Sends people (protein) to their destination and gets more people from the airport where the plane landed

Ribosomes

smallest and the most abundant cell organelle.

It comprises of RNA and protein

Used as sites for protein synthesis.

They are found in all cells because protein are necessary for the survival of the cell.

Also known as the protein factories of the cell.

Food Court

Provides food for the people/passengers to keep them from starving while in the airport

Provides food supply

Large Central Vacuole

The temporary storage center of the cell.

Palnt cells have large central vacuoles

Baggage Rooms / Airport Runways

Keeps the passengers' baggage/belongings safe and is claimed by the passengers after landing

It stores the planes that are not being used yet or is waiting for passengers

Golgi Bodies

Also known as the Golgi Apparatus

Looks like the endoplasmic reticulum and are situated near the nucleus.

They are found in almost all eukaryotic cells.

Their main function is to process and package macromolecules synthesized from other parts of the cell

Reffered to as the cell's packaging center.

Departure Waiting Area

Holds and prepares the passengers before going on the plane to their destination

Where the passengers wait for their designate plane

Chlorophlast

It is an elongated or disc-shaped organelle containing chlorophyll.

They have two membranes and have structures that look like stack of coins.

They are flattened structures which contain chemical chlorophyll.

The process of photosynthesis occurs in this region of the plant cell.

It is a green pigment that absorbs energy from sunlight to make food for the plants by converting light energy into chemical energy.

Solar Panels

Used as a source of electricity by using the energy from the sunlight

Where the power of the airport comes from

Mitochondria

Spherical to rod-shaped organelles with a double membrane. The inner membrane is infolded many times, forming a series of projections (called cristae)

The powerhouse of the cell

Aircraft Engine

It is the power of the airplane

Provides energy and power for the planes

Lysosome

Contains digestive enzymes.

They digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles and any foreign bodies.

Janitor

Cleans up all unwanted dirt and trash in the airport

Cytoplasm

Gel-like substance

It is a thick solution that fills each cell and is enclosed by the cell membrane.

It is mainly composed of water, salts, and proteins.

In eukaryotic cells, the cytoplasm includes all of the material inside the cell and outside of the nucleus.

Main Building

Holds together everything in the Airport

And that conludes our presentation.. 😇🍃
