CELL ANALOGY WORKSHEET

Your real life example: Bigwheel (Town of Barrington, Barrington Middle School, City of Providence, etc)

Use the table below to organize the cell part and organ system so each line makes a logical and coherent
analogous connection to your real life example.

For instance, lets say that you chose to use the Town of Barrington as your real life example. You might decide
that the nucleus is analogous to the Town Hall as well as the human body’s nervous system. Complete each
line in the table showing the function of each analogous part.

You MUST complete all highlighted cell parts and organ systems listed below.

Cell Parts: nucleus, chloroplast, mitochondria, cell membrane, cell wall, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes,
golgi body, vacuole, lysosomes.

Organ System: circulatory, excretory, digestive, respiratory, muscular, skeletal, nervous
