Central Vacuole (plant)

The water boy holds the water and supplies the team  with water.

• What does the organelle do?
• _{The plant vacuole stores food, water, and wastes. It gives support to soft structures, such as leaves.}
• What is the structure of the organelle?


• enclosed by a membrane called the tonoplast

Cytoskeleton

Basketball court: The basketball court is where the players run. The basketball court is also the overall shape of  where the players play and it also keeps them in place.

• What does the organelle do?
• Supports cell, provides shape and helps with the movement of materials in and out of the cell

• What is the structure of the organelle?         
• Composed of many microtubules

Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough)

Center (Position): The center in a basketball team is the support that keeps the team looking big. They are like the structures. They are responsible for carrying the team's defense (protein).

• What does the organelle do? 
  Rough ER compartmentalizes in the cell, provides structural support, & targeted protein synthesis.                                    
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
• What is the structure of the organelle?  
  a network of membrane channels attached to the nuclear a network  of membrane channels attached to the nuclear membrane 

Ribosome

Players: The players playing on the court represent the ribosome  because they are the ones responsible for producing the points.

• What does the organelle do?
• They are responsible for creating the proteins.

• What is the structure of the organelle? 
• A c
  omplex of RNA and protein. 2 subunits called 40-S and 60-S.

Mitochondria

Audience: The audience is what keeps the players going and want to play. They are the energy that supplies the players to keep working hard. 

• What does the organelle do?
• Controls the cell's cellular respiration.
• Storage of ATP
• Cell's "powerplants"
• What is the structure of the organelle?
• Double-layered outer membrane with inner folds called cristae 

Chloroplast

Hard work turns a bad performance into something positive. This helps lift the team into a stronger state.

• What does the organelle do?
• absorb sunlight and convert the suns energy to energy which can be used by the cell in a process called photosynthesis

• What is the structure of the organelle?
•  double membrane bound organelles

Golgi Apparatus

Point Guard: The point guard in a basketball team is responsible for distributing the basketball to other players.

• What does the organelle do?
• Carries the protein in and out of the cell.
• What is the structure of the organelle?
• The Golgi apparatus is made up of cisternae.

Cell Wall

Basketbal Arena: This is the building in which everything is inside. It is also what keeps the cell's shape/structure unique and protected.

• What does the organelle do?
• Large part of organelle in which they maintain and determine the cell shape.

• What is the structure of the organelle?
• Layer of primary cell wall, gluey pectin layer and the secondary cell wall. The organelle consists of cellulose fiber, polysaccharides and proteins.

Cell Membrane

Security Guard: Keeps whoever that doesn't belong in the basketball court out and only the ones that are eligible in.

• What does the organelle do?
• Keeps the interior of the cell safe by keeping certain substances out.

• What is the structure of the organelle?
• Proteins are surrounded by a phospholipid bi-layer.

Nucleus

Basketball Coach: The coach for a basketball team gives the team its source of information and it develops the team in terms of teamwork and how the team functions. The coach gives the team its direction in which it needs to go.

• What does the organelle do? 
• It holds the site of DNA storage, replication and information
• What is the structure of the organelle?
• A
   double membrane, with protein pore channels
