Organelles

Villi

Analogy: The villi is like a carpet!

Function: They increase the surface area for absorption of the digested food. Each villus has a network of thin and small blood vessels close to its surface. The surface of the villi absorbs the digested food materials.

Flagella

Analogy: since the flagella allows for movement it is kinda like wheels!

Function: Flagellum is primarily a motility organelle that enables movement and chemotaxis.

Peroxisomes

Analogy: the peroxisome is kinda like how the human body filters things and metabloizes energy.

Function: Peroxisomes are organelles that sequester diverse oxidative reactions and play important roles in metabolism, reactive oxygen species detoxification, and signaling.

Cilia

Analogy: The cilia is kinda like a human either scuba diving or snorkaling!

Function: The function of cilia is to move water relative to the cell in a regular movement of the cilia. This process can either result in the cell moving through the water, typical for many single-celled organisms, or in moving water and its contents across the surface of the cell.

Vacuoles

Analogy: vacuoles are kinda like the dump!

Function: their function is really to handle waste products, and by handle, mean take in waste products and also get rid of waste products.

Centrioles

Analogy: centrioles are like legos, they are building blocks!

Function: Centrioles are primarily involved in forming two structures-centrosomes and cilia. Centrioles bias the position of spindle pole formation, but because spindle poles can self-organize, the function of the centriole in mitosis is not obligatory.

Lysosomes

Analogy: Lysosomes are like my stomache!

Function: Lysosomes function as the digestive system of the cell, serving both to degrade material taken up from outside the cell and to digest obsolete components of the cell itself.

Golgi Bodies

Analogy: Golgi bodies are like amazon workers!

Function: helps process and package proteins and lipid molecules, especially proteins destined to be exported from the cell

ER

Ananlogy: the ER is kinda like how conveyor belt workers make and process goods.

Function: protein synthesis and processing, lipid synthesis, and calcium (Ca2+) storage and release

Cytosol

Analogy: The cytosol is like the between spaces of a city, it has space for things to move as well as places for buildings to go.

Function: The cytosol has an important role in providing structural support for other organelles and in allowing transport of molecules across the cell.

Cytoskeleton

Analogy: The cytoskeleton works like how our skin, muscle and bones help to keep us in human form!

Function: The cytoskeleton is a structure that helps cells maintain their shape and internal organization, and it also provides mechanical support that enables cells to carry out essential functions like division and movement.

Cytoplasm

Analogy: The cytoplasm is like armour!

Function: The cytoplasm is responsible for holding the components of the cell and protects them from damage

Cell Membrane

Ananlogy: The cell membrane is like a cheese cloth!

Function: Cell membranes serve as barriers and gatekeepers. They are semi-permeable
