Parts of a Cell
  1. Cell Membrane
    1. memBRANE --> like BRAIN, which controls the body
      1. Cell membrane: controls what goes in and out of the cells
    2. Nucleus
      1. Like the base where a mob boss stays
        1. The mob boss controls everything that happens in his gang
          1. DNA is like his money, he keeps it all with him
          2. Nucleus: controls cell activities and contains DNA
          3. Cell Wall
            1. WALL - in a house the walls support the roof and keep the shape of the house stable
              1. Cell wall: supports the cell and helps keep its shape
              2. Cytoplasm
                1. C - Chemical
                  1. Like chemical reactions
                  2. cytOplasm - Organelles
                    1. Cytoplasm: where chemical reactions take place and where organelles are contained
                    2. Mitochondria
                      1. mitoCHONdria
                        1. CHON = TION sound
                        2. Mitochondria: where respiraTION occurs
                        3. Chloroplasts
                          1. CHLOROplasts - CHLOROphyll
                            1. Chloroplasts: contain chlorophyll
                            2. Large Vacuole
                              1. LARGE --> strong/ tough/ RIGID
                                1. vacuOLE - HOLE
                                  1. a hole filled with cell sap
                                  2. Large vacuole: contains cell sap and keeps the cell rigid
