what are some good analogies for the parts of an animal cell?

give me a link to the different parts and ill give you analogies.

I'm a biology teacher, and a cell model is a project every year.\n\nUse a HARD beachball about the size of a basketball....or a cheap dimestore basket ball. Cut in in half and use thin wires to suspend the various organelles inside.

a cell is organic, an atom is not.  a cell is made from atoms.

Cells. Cells are the basic unit of life. They make up every single living thing in the universe. Humans, plants, animal, bacteria, fungi, and every other living thing in the universe.

Yo man i shall give u a few sites that wil enable u to design the animal cell and then fill in the design with the items u believe will suit.\n\nhttp://www.batesville.k12.in.us/bhs/science/paper_bag_cell_model.htm\n\nhttp://www.batesville.k12.in.us/bhs/science/sponge_cell_model.htm\n\nhttp://www.batesville.k12.in.us/bhs/science/styrofoam_cell_model.htm\n\nhttp://www.cellsalive.com/cells/animcell.htm\n\n\n\n\n\nfurther details: mng_1432@2die4.com

Cell bio would encompass all things on a cellular level.\nUsually organisms with a "life of their own".\nMolecular bio goes further into the atomic level.\nEg: a molecule of water (H2O) consists of 3 atoms. take a H away and you have Hydrogen peroxide(HO). A cell is usually made up of many different molecules when added together, make an organism like a liver cell, cancer cell, stem cell,etc...

b) cold : hot\n\nEndocytosis the soluble molecules are taken up from outside the cell through the formation of vesicles.  The membrane folds around material outside the cell, resulting in the formation of a saclike vesicle into which the material is incorporated. This vesicle is then pinched off from the cell surface so that it lies within the cell.\nExocytosis is exactly the OPPOSITE in which The cellular secretion of macromolecules by the fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane.\nThey are antonyms.\n\nIn a)phagocytosis is something that a white blood cell does to a bacteria (i.e. engulf it to destroy it...so that's not opposite.\nIn b) hot and cold are OPPOSITE meanings and are antonyms.\nIn c) a white blood cell will phagocytos a bacteria but once again, that they aren't opposite in meaning.\nIn d) phagocytosis and engulfing are the same definition, i.e. synonyms and thus are not the answer.

Here's what they have in common:\n1. Cell membrane is present.\n2. Vacuoles are present.\n3. Both are living cells.\n4. Mitochondria is present.\n5. Both are eukaryotic cells. \n6. Nucleus, nuclear membrane and chromatin fibers are present.\n7. Both can reproduce through mitosis. (Advanced animal cells reproduce through meiosis)\n\nPS : Don't take note of those who talk of the absence of mitochondria in plants. It's present. Only chloroplast is absent in animal cell.

The more advanced ones are:\nBilateral symmetry, unjointed appendages, endoskeleton, segmented body parts.

If you were to think about it biologically, one answer is the genetic code. All animals- monkeys, insects, bacteria, cows, snakes, sharks, cats, dogs, and humans have very similiar genetic codes.

The six characteristics of living things, and an explanation of each one. \nTheme #1 - Cells \n\nAll living things are composed of one or more cells. Different types of cells have different "jobs" within the organism. Each life form begins from one cell, which then will split. These cells split, and so on. After this has happened several times, differentiation is undergone, when the cells change so that they are not the same thing anymore. Then they are used to begin to put together the final organism, some cells, for example, as the eyes, some as the heart, etc. The only arguable exception to this is viruses. They are not composed of cells, but are said to be "living." \nTheme#2 - Organization \n\n \nComplex organization patterns are found in all living organisms. They arrange themselves on very small levels, grouping like things together. On larger levels, they become visible. This also has to do with differentiation, as the cells are organized in a manner that makes sense for the organism after they change to what they’ll be in the final organism. \n\nTheme#3 - Energy Use \n\nAll organisms use energy. The sum of the chemical energy they use is called metabolism. This energy is used to carry out everything they do. Autotrophs (plants) use energy from the sun for photosynthesis, to make their own ‘food’ (glucose). Heterotrophs (animals and humans) must ingest food for this purpose. \n\n\nTheme#4 - Homeostasis \n\nAll organisms have stable internal conditions which must be maintained in order to remain alive. These include temperature, water content, heartbeat, and other such things. In a way, this has to do with energy use, because a certain level of energy must be kept within the body at all times. For this, obviously, humans must then ingest food on a regular basis. Not all conditions are for the body to maintain itself; though most are. \n\n\nTheme#5 - Growth \n\nAll organisms grow and change. Cells divide to form new, identical cells. Differentiation happens, as well, when cells mutate into other types of cells, making a more complex organism. Organisms growing, changing, and becoming more complex is called development. Single-celled organisms do grow as well, but they will only become slightly larger – this is nearly unmeasurable. \n\n\nTheme#6 - Reproduction \n\nAll organisms reproduce in order to continue the species' life. This is combining genetic information (in sexual reproduction) or splitting into two organisms (in asexual reproduction) in order to create another of the same species. In sexual reproduction, the new organism will have some characteristics from the mother, and some from father. It may look like either of them, or it may not. In asexual reproduction, the new organism is an exact copy of the first. Sometimes, not every member of a species is able to reproduce. As long as others are (which we know they can, if they still exist today) then it does not threaten the species. (Except for mules, but don't worry about them, they are a bizarre anomoly.)

In animals and plants, cells are the smallest units that can be considered alive. Your body, like all human bodies, is a collection of many many cells. Nearly all cells have the same basic parts - a nucleus, which has DNA, and a cell membrane, which acts as sort of a skin for the cell, keeping insides in, and outsides out. \n\nCells are arranged together to form tissues, which in turn arrange together to form organs, which fit together to form systems (like the digestive system), which in turn all keep you as one functioning living being!\n\nMost cells in a large organism like plants and animals have specialized purposes as well - some are nerve cells, transmitting signals to and from the brain to the rest of the body, some are in your blood, carrying oxygen to the rest of the body, some form your skin, keeping you from getting infected from outside. \n\nCells have their own lifespans, and can reproduce and die.\nSometimes, a mutation happens in cells, and they don't follow their genetic instructions and might grow and reproduce abnormally -- this is what cancer is.

Try this , it really helped me in my first few lectures in cell bio , such as DNA and RNA . Loads of animations and stuff ! \n\nhttp://www.johnkyrk.com/DNAtranscription.html
