Chloroplast/Trawler Net
The Chloroplasts are like the fishing ships net
because both capture energy from the environment
and bring it inside to be used by the
mitochondria/cook.

4
Nucleus/Captains Quarters
The nucleus of a cell is like the captains
quarters of a ship because both contain
instruments that drive and coordinate the
functions of the cell/ship.
BACK
5
Nucleolus/Captain
The nucleolus is like the captain himself because
they are the centers of the centers, where the
orders are given to the mates/where the ribosomes
are synthesized.
BACK
6
Vacuole/Pantry
A vacuole is like the storage room in the ship
because they are both general storage areas, with
anything from paint/enzymes, to extra water for
the crew/cell.
BACK
7
Ribosomes/Crew
Ribosome
ER
The ribosomes are like the crew because the
ribosomes receive RNA/orders from the nucleus/
captain. They both work to synthesize
proteins/catch fish. They are both numerous in
the cell/ship.
BACK
8
Mitochondria/Ships Cook
We make energy
The ships cook is like the mitochondria because
they take the stored energy (ATP/fish) and turn
it into energy for the ship/cell.
BACK
9
Endoplasmic Reticulum/Ships Corridors
The corridors under the ships decks and the ER
both are like passageways that connect different
parts of the structure together things in the
ship/cell travel along them to go places.
BACK
10
Cell Wall/Ship Walls
The wooden walls of a ship and the cell wall are
similar structures because they give form to the
cell/ship and provide a solid layer against the
surroundings.
BACK
11
Cell Membrane/Ships Waterproofing
Pine resin
The cell membrane is like the pine resin the crew
used to waterproof their ship because both keep
the inside separate from the outside and keep
water from leaking in.
BACK
12
Cytoplasm/Air
The cytoplasm of a cell is like the air because
everything in the cell/ship must move through it,
and it fills up every corner.
BACK
13
Golgi Body
The Golgi Bodies are like the unfortunate deckboy
who gets the job of cleaning and packing the
caught fish in ice. The Golgi bodies ready
protiens for going outside the cell, like the boy
gets the fish ready for market.
BACK
14
Cytoskeleton/Ships Supportive Beams
The Cytoskeleton is like the supportive beams all
across the ship because they both help to hold
the object in place and give it strength and
support.
