- The function of a Cell Membrane is that it separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment. This organelle relates to the fencing of the prison yard because the fence separates all of the inmates from the citizens.
- The functions of a Centriole is that it makes proteins and divides cells. This relates to the prison cells because it separates and divides all of the inmates.
- The Nucleus is the control center of the cell. The nucleus relates to the warden of the prison because the warden is the control center of the prison by commanding all of the prison personnel.
- The Endoplasmic Reticulum helps move substances within the cells. The endoplasmic reticulum relates to the hallways of the prison because they help move around the prisoners.
- The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum helps with detoxification in the cell. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum relates to therapists of a prison because therapists help people to make a change in their lives by removing all of the bad behavior in them.
- The Ribosomes make proteins from mRNA. The ribosomes relate to the prison gym because prisoners build muscles that form from proteins.
- The Mitochondria produces energy. The Mitochondria relates to the food that is provided to the inmates because the food gives the inmates energy.
- The function of the nucleolus is to make proteins. The cooks and the nucleolus function the same way through the process of making proteins. The cooks make food for the inmates, which is protein.
- The cytoskeleton gives shape and structure to the cell. The prison walls have similar functions to the cytoskeleton because the prison walls give the whole building its dimension.
- The function of cilia is that It allows movement for liquid throughout the cell. The prison cell yard relates to the cilia because it allows movement for prisoners.
- The vacuole is the storage unit of the cell. The function of the vacuole is similar to the food storage room of the prison because the vacuole stores water, food, and waste as well as the food storage room.
- The Golgi Apparatus is like the mail room because the mail room receives and sends mail to and from the prison. The Golgi Apparatus packages proteins and ships the proteins throughout the cell.
