Bibliography

We had loads of fun completing this project!
(And are quite satisfied with what we have conjured up, hee)
Nevertheless, this project would not have been possible without various sources off the internet.

We hope this page has been useful to you! This could be our last post but! we may do another one when we get back out grades. (Hopefully, full marks!) heeeeee(:

Cya around!

Golgi Apparatus vs Air Filter!

The golgi apparatus and the air filter performs similar functions in their respective systems!

One of the functions of the Golgi Apparatus is to package the proteins from the Rough Endorplasmic Reticulum into vesicles (pinched off) and then released out of the cell through the fusion with the Cell Membrane. Likewise, the air filter purpose is to filter out dirt and other foreign particles in the air.

However, the Golgi Apparatus modifies the Proteins first before secretion and the contents released out of the cell is used for cell activities. The contents filtered out through the air filter are harmful and after it is removed, serves no further purpose.

Smooth Endorplasmic Reticulum vs Catylytic Converter!

The Smooth Endorplasmic Reticulum (ER) performs a similar function as a catalytic converter in their respective systems.

The Smooth ER is a network of tubules and flattened spaces lined by membrane. It synthesizes fats and steriods (i.e Cholesterol, sex hormones) They convert harmful substances into harmless materials through Detoxification. Likewise, A catalytic converter provides an environment for a chemical reaction wherein toxic combustion by-products are converted to less-toxic substances.

However, the smooth ER is a network of tubules. Though the Catalytic Converter is part of a wiring system, it performs the function of conversion alone.

Ribosomes vs Steering wheel

Ribosomes perform similar functions as a steering wheel in their respective systems!

Ribosomes are sites of protein synthesis. Proteins are needed to carry out cell activites and as energy outside the cell. Likewise, the steering wheel is the control between the driver and the car. Its where energy is "synthesized".

However, some ribosomes are attached to the Rough Endorplasmic Reticulum (usually for synthesis of protein to be transported out of the cell) whilst some lie freely in the cytoplasm (usually make proteins for use within the cell) There is only one steering wheel to enable the driver to drive and move the car.

Large Central Vacuole vs Boot!

The large central Vacuole and Car boot (or trunk, however you call it) performs similar functions in their respective systems!

The vacuole contains cell sap, a solution of mineral salts and sugars. Likewise, the car boot contains items people put in!

However, the large central vacuole creates turgor pressure when water enters. (This is resisted by the cell wall, as mentioned before!) The large central vacuole plays a part in keeping the plant turgid. The car boot does not have such function. It only serves as storage space. (The car boot in this place would be more similar to the vacuoles of animals)

Chloroplasts vs Solar Power Panels!

Chloroplasts and Solar Power Panels perform similar functions in their respective systems!

Chloroplasts contain green pigment for light absorption. Through photosynthesis they convert light energy into Adenosine Triphosphate and sugars. Likewise, Solar cars can accomplish this through photovoltaic cells (PVC). PVCs are the components in solar paneling that convert the sun's energy to electricity.

However, enzymes are also neccesary for the production of Glucose during photosynthesis. This means that cholorplasts alone are not adequate for plants. This is not the case for solar panels, they are enough to do conversion into electrictiy.

Lysosome vs Car Alarm!

The lysosome of a plant cell and the Car alarm perform similar functions in their respective systems!

Lysosomes digest foreign particles and bacteria and gets rid of unwanted substances. Likewise, The Car alarm rings when there is an intruder; a thief who wants to steal something. It alerts the car owner and in a way helps “get rid” of something unwelcomed, in this case the thief.

However, lysosomes are directly involved in the digestion of bacteria in the cell while the car alarm only plays a part in the process. The person directly involved is the driver himself, who will have to deal with the intruder; the thief.
