A Concert Cell Fantasy


A Concert Tour is a lot like a cell in many ways.
In this presentation I will show how the parts of a cell
analogically compare to aspects of a Concert Tour

Protein
Music = Protein
Protein A linear polymer built from about 20 different amino
acids. The type and the sequence of amino acids in a protein
are specified by the DNA in the cell that produces them. This
sequence of amino acids is essential since it determines the
overall structure and function of a protein.
Music Is the product of a concert tour. As well it is a
sequence of notes carefully put together into something that
sounds great.

Ribosomes
The Band = Ribosomes
Ribosomes Produces Proteins that help the cell grow
The Band Creates and plays music

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum


Concert sound Cables = Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum The transport system for
molecules needed for certain changes and specific
destinations. Rough ER has ribosomes attached to it.
Concert sound cables Transport electrical and electronic
musical signals from the instruments and vocals to the mixer
then to the amplifiers.

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum


Concert Light Cables = Smooth Rough Endoplasmic
Reticulum
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum The transport system for
molecules needed for certain changes and specific
destinations. Smooth ER does not have ribosomes attached to
it.
Concert Light Cables Transport electrical and electronic
signals to control the light show.

Golgi Apparatus
Sound Crew / Mixer = Golgi Apparatus
Golgi Apparatus System of folded membranes; sorts protein,
checks the protein, and repackages the proteins and send it to
its final destination.
Sound Crew & Mixer Adjusts and directs the music and light
show during a concert

Mitochondria
Amplifiers = Mitochondria
Mitochondria Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell
Amplifiers Powers the music load

Nucleolus
Audience = Nucleolus
Nucleolus The group of synthesis of ribosomal RNA,
becoming enlarged during periods of synthesis and smaller
during quiescent periods; multiple nucleoli occur in some cells.
Audience Fans of the band that respond to the performance
of the band and what type of music they are playing.

Lysosomes
Concert Security = Lysosomes
Lysosomes Organelle that digests food particles, wastes, cell
parts, and foreign invaders.
Concert Security Removes unruly individuals

Cell Membrane
Concert Hall Ticket Gate = Cell Membrane
Cell Membrane Outer covering of the entire cell and demines
what comes in and out.
Concert Hall Ticket Gate Check tickets and lets only those
people into the concert

Vesicles
Tour Bus = Vesicles
Store and move materials between cell organelles as well as
to and fro the cell surface.
Tour Bus Transports the Band from concert to concert

Vacuoles
Equipment Trucks = Vacuoles
Vacuoles Single-membrane organelles that are essentially
part of the outside that is located within the cell. The single
membrane is known in plant cells as a tonoplast. Many
organisms will use vacuoles as storage areas.
Equipment Trucks Store and deliver concert equipment

Cytoplasm
The area between concerts = Cytoplasm
Cytoplasm All of the cellular material between the plasma
membrane and the nucleus.
Area between concerts The land that exists between concert
locations

Cytoskeleton
Tour Manager / Agent = Cytoskeleton
Cytoskeleton Not a membrane bound organelle, keeps our
cells from collapsing, Keep everything in place
Tour Manager / Agent Plans the tour and keeps the band on
schedule
