Welcome!
There are many ways that a cell can be compared to different types of factories. So... Welcome to the Hershey Factory! Today you will be taking a mind-boggling tour through the various organelles found in an Animal Eukaryotic Cell. Sit back, relax and be prepared to learn!

Our Factory
The Factory
Plain sticky notes
Cytoskeleton- "The Building Frame"
The cytoskeleton, a network of proteins filaments, helps the cell maintain its shape. This organelle is the building frame that keeps the factory standing. Those architects in management sure knew what they were doing!
Cell Membrane- "Security"
The cell membrane, a thin and flexible material, regulates or polices what enters and leaves the cell and provides protection and support. The cell membrane is the security for the Hershey Factory.
Cytoplasm- "Factory Floor"
The cytoplasm is our factory floor. Most of the organelles work in this area of the factory, located between the walls of the building (cell membrane) and the management offices (nucleus). Watch your step. It's a little sticky!

Security
The cell membrane can read your mind. Don't try any funny stuff.

Nucleus- "Control Center"
The Nucleus, in the same way that the main office controls the Hershey Factory, is the control center of the cell. The Nucleus controls most cell processes and contains the hereditary information of DNA. This organelle contains one nucleolus, surrounded by a nuclear envelope with a nuclear pore and has chromatin spread throughout the nucleus.
Chromosomes- " Control Center Workers"
Chromosomes, found in the nucleus are threadlike structures that contain DNA which carries on to following generations. The Chromosomes are the individuals who work inside the control center. If something doesn't get done, they're the ones to blame!
Ribosomes- "Machines"
Ribosomes are small particles of RNA and protein found all through the cytoplasm and produces proteins by following coded instructions coming from the control center. This organelle are like each small machine in a factory, turning out proteins orders.
Nucleolus- "The Manager"
The nucleolus, a small dense region inside the nucleus, is where the assembly of ribosomes begin. The nucleolus is the manager of the factory in which he is the beginning of the hardworking process. He just runs around telling people what to do and bugging them when they don't do it.

The Boss
Hopefully, the nucleolus is more intelligent than Michael Scott.
Manufacturing

Lysosome- "Cleaning Crew"
The lysosomes are our cleaning crew. They clean up any waste on the factory floor, and get rid of any unnecessary clutter.
Vacuoles- "Storage"
Vacuoles are sac-like structures that store materials such as proteins, carbohydrates and water. The vacuoles are storage closets of the Hershey factory.
Mitochondria- "Power Source"
These lima-bean shaped organelles take the chemical energy in food and modify it into compounds, making it easier for the cell to use. The Mitochondria is the electricity to keep Hershey's running safe and sound.
Centriole- "Division Machinery"
Centrioles organize the cell division. For example, in the Hershey Factory, the employees may be divided in half, where half would go to work at another factory.
Endoplasmic Reticulum- "Organization"
The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER), an internal membrane system, is where lipids and protiens that can be exported from the cell, are assembled. In other words, the ER of the Hershey factory , organizes the "boxes" that need to be customized.
Golgi Apparatus- "Customization Shop"
The Golgi Apparatus is the customization shop of Hershy's Factory. It sorts or packages the proteins or other materials from the ER for storage in or outside the cell. Just like the factory, the Golgi Appartus puts finishing touches on a cell, which are then are ready to be shipped elsewhere.
Vesicle- "Storage"
Vesicles,similar to vacuoles, are storage organelles but are small and mobile enough to move chemicals to other locations throughout the cell where they might be needed. Vesicles are the small transporting containers (boxes)Hershey's needs to export their goods.
