The parts of the cell are all talking! It’s your job to figure out who is saying what.
For example: I am the boss of all of you, you have to do what I say
Answer: Nucleus
“I am waiting for the nucleus to send me some RNA so I can make some proteins”
“It’s sunny today, so I’m going to be really busy making glucose and oxygen”
“I am glad there are plants to make oxygen for me, because I really need it!”
“Molecules, you can only come in or go out of the cell if I let you”
“Have you eaten today? I’m running very low on glucose”
“Hello? I need some amino acids over here.”
“All I need is carbon dioxide, water, and some sun, and I’m ready to go!”
“See all those receptors on me? That’s how I ‘talk’ to other cells”
“Don’t worry. Your DNA is safe in me”
“Hi! I’m your storage area. Do you need anything?”
0.067“If it wasn’t for me, plants would just flop over. I support the plant cell”
“I am awesome! I can make any protein you want. Just tell me what it’s going to be used for, and I’ll make it with the right shape so it can do what you want.”
“I am the reason plants don’t need to eat food, like you have to”
“I may be smaller than all the other parts of the cell, but I am really good at making proteins, so without me the cell wouldn’t be able to live”
“As long as you give me all the oxygen and glucose I want, I’ll make you as much ATP energy as you want”
