Biology: What Is So Important About Cells?
What Is So Important About Cells?
Cells are the most basic building block of all life as we know it. But what makes cells extremely important to living organisms, and why do we need cells anyway? A cell is “a usually microscopic structure containing nuclear and cytoplasmic material enclosed by a semipermeable membrane and, in plants, a cell wall; the basic structural unit of all organisms.” But what makes cells extremely important to living organisms, and why do we need cells anyway?
Cells are made of many organelles, these include the Nucleus, DNA, Ribosomes, Lysosomes, Mitochondrion, Vacuoles, Cytoplasm, Endoplasmic, Golgi, and the Cell Membrane. There is one specific job of each organelle in a cell. The Nucleus is basically the control …show more content…
The way I chose to remember this was to interpret a cell as a baseball or softball field. I did this by figuring how the parts of a baseball field correspond with the parts of a cell, and this is what I came up with. First, the cell membrane would be the dugout because, when you walk onto the softball diamond you go through the dugout and onto the field. When the game is over you walk out of the dugout off of the field just like how the cell membrane lets things in and out. Then the nucleus would be the umpire because, the umpire is the boss on the field like in a cell. He or she makes all of the call like safe, out, strike, the pitch is too low, the pitch is too high, they left the base too early,the ball is fair, or the ball is out of bounds. Next, the DNA would be the coach because, the DNA instructs. The coach instructs drills to learn and to perform to improve playing skills and to help us advance to be better players. If the cytoplasm was the team it would work out perfectly because, the team keeps in place and they are all in it together. We hold everything in place, how we do things we stay as a team. The mitochondria would be the sun because, it provides energy to people, in this case it would be the team, umpire, and coach. The mitochondria would be the sun because, it provides energy to people, in this case it would be the team, umpire, and coach that the sun is providing its energy to. As all of these parts are a necessity to a softball field, all of the parts of a cell are necessary too. A vacuole needs the cytoplasm to its job inside of the cell. The DNA needs the cell membrane to do its job. All parts of a cell are needed to let the cell do its
