Cell Analogy Assignment -Computers and what powers them
The analogy draws parallels between the components of a cell and a computer. The chloroplast is likened to a storage drive, capturing sunlight for the cell as the drive captures information for the computer.
Cell Analogy Assignment -Computers and what powers them
Power Outlet/Endoplasmic Reticulum
The ER produces the proteins form the ribosomes to power the cell like a power outlet takes electricity from the generator to power the computer.
Computer Processing Unit (CPU)/Golgi Body
The golgi body processes proteins and lipid molecules
like a CPU processes data on a computer.
Cables and Wires/Cell Membrane
cell membrane acts like cables because it contains what
goes in and out of a cell like cables control what goes where in a computer.
Generator/Ribosomes
The ribosomes make proteins for the cell much like
a generator makes electricity for a computer (or anything else you might power)
Storage Drive/Chloroplast
Chloroplast takes and captures sun for the plant
like a storage drive takes and captures info for the computer
Ram(memory)/Cytoplasm
The cytoplasm holds and suspends the memory of a cell
like RAM holds and suspends the memory of a games or application until it is used
Computer Case/Cell Wall
The cell wall is what protects the cell from harm
like a computer case protects everything inside the computer from harm
Power Supply/Vacuole
The Vacuole acts like a power supply to a cell the power
supply takes and stores electricity for the computer like the vacuole takes and stores food and water for a cell
Mother Board/Nucleus
The Nucleus acts like the main control centre of the
cell like a motherboard is on a computer, it controls everything that go's on in the cell
