Cells are like cars in many ways. Cars use a source of energy known as gas, and cells use Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) as a source of energy. Also,cells release wastes like a car does.

How is the cell analogy compared to a car?

Nucleus: Directs the cell around, (the heart of the cell) the engine: controls what is going on in the car (the heart of the cat) cell wall: a stiff wall protecting the cell Car body: a stiff and sturdy wall that protects a car. cell membrane: controls what goes in and out of a cell Doors/windows: monitors what comes in and goes out of a car Chloroplasts: Captures the suns energy to turn it into food Solar Panels: captures the suns energy and turns it into fuel cytoplasm: holds parts together car base: holds the car together nuclear envelope: membrane that surrounds the nucleus the hood: protects or shelters the engine vacuole: can be the trunk because that's where you store things:) I just happened to be doing a report on the exact same thing, but this is all i got so far :)


What is an analogy for cytoplasm?

Cytoplasm is a water rich substance that is inside of a cell that surrounds the entire contents of that cell. It will liquify if shaken vigorously. Cytoplasm is made up of proteins and molecules for it to survive. The organelle and molecule within the cell touches the cytoplasm. Cytoplasm is to cell as bones are to humans, if there is no cytoplasm, there is no consistency of the cell.


What car part compares to cytoplasm?

Hey there my funky user! This question is pretty cool and I am quite excited by it so here goes nothing 😄 Firstly, the cytoplasm is basically the jelly-like matrix in the cell which is mostly composed of water called the cytosol and it includes all the organelles, except the nucleus. In conclusion, cytosol + organelles (no nucleus) = cytoplasm. I am no car mechanic but I most likely feel that the cytoplasm compares well with the car's chassis, a.k.a., the body of the car. This is because it holds all the parts like the engine, radiator, wires, steering wheel, doors, storage boot, fuel tank and other things I most likely don't know. Hope this answer was satisfactory! 😄👍


A muscle cell makes food or sends messages around the body or is like a plant cell or is it like an animal cell?

A muscle cell is like an animal cell because it has a nucleus, mitochondria, and other organelles typical of animal cells. Its main function is to generate movement by contracting and relaxing. It does not make food through photosynthesis like plant cells do.


What does and animal cell look like?

An animal cell is typically round or irregularly shaped and surrounded by a cell membrane. Inside the cell, you can find various organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus. The cytoplasm fills the interior of the cell where these organelles are located.

What would a cell membrane be if the cell was a car?

The cell membrane of a car would be like the car's exterior body panels. It provides structure and protection, regulating what enters and exits the cell/car. It also helps maintain internal balance and integrity.


What is a cell analogy for a car?

A cell can be compared to a car in that both have specific components that work together to perform functions. For example, the mitochondria in a cell can be likened to the engine of a car, providing energy. The cell membrane is like the car's exterior, controlling what goes in and out of the cell, similar to how a car door allows entry and exit.


What would happen to a cell with no mitochondia?

the cell wouldn't know what to do.the mitochondria of A CELL is like the batteri of a car , if the cell had know mitochondria, it wouldn't work right


How a dry cell car battery looks like?

The connections on a dry cell auto battery are totally different than a regular wet cell battery.


Is car battery is the same with regular battery like EverReady?

No, an automobile battery is a wet cell battery not a dry cell battery.


What would be the comparable part of a car as a mitochondria is to a cell?

The pistons because it transfers energy through the cell, like pipes and wires do.


What can cause a car to die?

Sounds like your battery has a weak cell and needs to be replaced.

Can you unlock car doors with a cell phone?

Yes, you can unlock some car doors with a cell phone using a compatible app or technology like Bluetooth or remote keyless entry systems.


What is a car analogy for a cytoskeleton?

In the car analogy for cells, the cytoskeleton would be the steel framework. The cytoskeleton supports the cell like the steel framework supports the car.


What part of a car is like the ribosomes?

Ribosomes are like the steering wheel and the gas pedal. Ribosomes is the control between the nucleus and the cell. The gas pedal and the steering wheel is the control between the driver and the car.
