Cells are very similar to factories. To stay alive and function properly, cells have a division of labor similar to that found in factories. Here, we will examine cells as protein-producing factories.

∙ 10y agoA good way to understand cells at first to to see them as a factory. This factory manufactures proteins. The membrane forms the walls. There are doors which allow necessary things to come in and go out. The floor of the building contains the cytoplasm. The nucleus is the main office. This is where plans are drafted and drawn up to make proteins. These instructions are sent to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). This is the factory floor. Each work station is a ribosome. These ribosomes make the proteins. The mitochondria are the power houses. The Golgi body is the shipping department. It sends out the proteins that the cell needs. The vacuoles are the trash bins. There are parts which are brought out when needed as in cell division: centrioles and fibers.

If a cell is like a factory then enzymes are like?
The machines in the factory.
Why is a cell like a factory or city?
A city because each organelle acts like a different job required for the city (the cell) to function.
What is an analogie for ribosome?
A factory, because it creates material just like ribosomes create proteins for a cell
When did National Socialist Factory Cell Organization end?
National Socialist Factory Cell Organization ended in 1935.
What is the difference between cells and a factory?
the difference between a cell and a factory in that cells are in your body and factory is not
If a cell is like a factory then enzymes are like?
The machines in the factory.
A cell membrane is similar to a what?
When looking at a cell as a factory, the cell membrane is like the factory outer walls.
What is a cell membrane similar to?
When looking at a cell as a factory, the cell membrane is like the factory outer walls.
What are the main functions of the cell membrane and what molecules is it made of?
A cell membrane is mostly made of a double layer of phosolipids and it's function is like a boundary. The cell is like a factory and the membranes are the wall of the factory.
What advantages there be to having a factory that functioned more like a plant cell than an animal cell?
A plant cell has a cell wall.
What advantages might there be to having a factory that functioned more like a plant cell than an animal cell?
A plant cell has a cell wall.
Why is a cell like a factory or city?
A city because each organelle acts like a different job required for the city (the cell) to function.
What is mitochondria like if a cell is like a factory?
The synthesis site of ATP. This is the energy currency of the cell so the job of the mitochondria could be said to be the cell's battery.
Part of an animal cell that controls the cell's activities?
The nucleus is the part of the cell that controls all the activities of the cell. The nucleus is like the main office of a factory.
What are the shippers of the cell?
Cell FActory
Identify three ways in which a cell is like a factory?
The building- cell wall, control panel- nucleus, storing- vacuole
Comparing a cell to a factory?
We are exactly like a cell. Our organisums do the same job as like in the city!!
