What would a Cytoplasm be similar to in a restaurant?

Answer 1

Nucleus

Manager

Cytoplasm

Atmosphere of restaurant

Cell membrane

Doors and walls

Endoplasmic reticulum

Waiters and the kitchen

Ribosomes

Ovens, ranges, and other kitchen appliances.

Golgi apparatus

Packaging department

Lysosome

Worker who cleans up trash and waste (janitor)

Vacuole

Storage area (for food), refrigerator, and freezer

Mitochondria

Energy source/power supply

Cytoskeleton

Restaurant building

Answer 2

Nucleus - Restaurant Manager's Office

The Nucleus is the "brain" or center of the cell just like the manager's office of a restaurant is the control center of the restaurant.

Cell Membrane - Door Greeters

The Door Greeters act as the Cell Membrane would in a cell. The door greeters are permeable and let people in and out.

Cell Wall - Restaurant Walls

The Cell Wall surrounds the restaurant, holds it up, and protects it like the Cell Wall does for the cell.

Lysosome - Dumpster

The Lysosome in a cell consumes the old organelles and waste like all of the trash and leftover food goes in the dumpster at a restaurant.

Mitochondria - Kitchen

In a cell the mitochondria makes the food for a cell like the kitchen in a restaurant is where the food is made and prepared.

Vacuole - Heat Lamps/Fridge

The cell's vacuole stores the cell's food like a heat lamp or a fridge is where the food for the restaurant's customers would be kept stored fresh.

Golgi Apparatus - Waiter

The Golgi Apparatus ships proteins to the nucleus just like a waiter takes your food orders and ships them to the kitchen.

Endoplasmic Reticulum - Host

The Endoplasmic Reticulum moves things around the cell to where they belong just like your host can move people around the restaurant to where they are supposed to be seated.

Ribosomes - Table Bussers

In a cell the ribosomes make the protein for the cell and send it to the nucleus like the table bussers in a restaurant make the table clean and ship the old dishes back to get cleaned.

Answer 3

from http://mengfei-bio.blogspot.com/2007/01/analogy-of-animal-cell.html

"I'm comparing the animal cell to a restaurant.

The administrative office stores important information such as recipes of food and investment plans of the restaurant. It performs daily supervision of the operation of the restaurant so that it can function properly. Other than that, it decides when to expand the restaurant or when to set up a branch (Like the division of a cell). The Administrative office is the place where the manager works. He is in charge of employing and training chefs. The chefs are supposed to cook delicious foods (proteins) for the customers. The waiters put the food on trays, which are then placed on special carts. They will either be served to the customers or be sent them to the packaging department. In the packaging department, the workers pack the foods into containers for easier delivery. In order to deliver the food to the customers, the deliverymen have to pass through the security guards that guard the door and ensure that no troublemakers are allowed into the restaurant. Throughout the day, the cleaners will throw away all the rubbish and unwanted stuff left behind by the customers. The power supply provided all the energy needed in the restaurant, just like the mitochondria in the cell.

Nucleus:

Controls all the activities of the cell & essential for cell Division--administrative office

Nucleolus:

Produces Ribosomes -- Manager

Ribosomes:

Produces Proteins that is used inside/outside the cell-- Chefs

Rough endoplasmic Reticulum:

Transports the proteins made by the Ribosomes to the Golgi apparatus-- Waiter

Golgi Apparatus:

stores and modifies the substances made by the ER & packages them into vesicles for secretion out of the cell-- Packaging Department

Lysosomes:

Vesicles that contain digestive enzymes &Break down engulfed bacteria/virus and worn out organelles -- Cleaners

Plasma membrane:

a partially permeable membrane that only allows some substances to pass through and not others-- Security Guards

Mitochondria:

Performs aerobic respiration-- Power Supply"

Answer 4

Nucleus--- Boss or Manager

Nucleolus--- Job Application

DNA--- Order or Receipt

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum(ER)--- Kitchen

Smooth ER--- Chemicals or Cleaning Sprays

Mitochondria--- Power Box

Chloroplast--- Solar Panels

Golgi Apparatus--- Place where orders are bagged

Ribosomes--- Cooks and Ovens

Cell Wall--- The walls of the restaurant

Cell Membrane--- Doors

Cytoskeleton--- Pathways or Walkways

Central Vacuole--- Storage(Fridge)

Lysosome--- Janitors

Vesicle--- Waitress or Bus Boy

Answer 5

People go in restaurants and get food by paying for it. This represents food particles that go in cells to replenish the cell with energy. Money is like energy. Without money, the restaurant cannot buy more food and make a profit.

Answer 6

Cytoplasm in a cell can be likened to the kitchen in a restaurant. Just as cytoplasm houses organelles in a cell, the kitchen is where cooking and food preparation take place in a restaurant. Both cytoplasm and the kitchen are essential for the functioning of the cell/restaurant.

Answer 7

It could be the floor spacing because it is like the spacing between the cell membrane and the nucleus.

Answer 8

They both have mini-bars.

Answer 9

It doesnt..prawn
