Question
would you please help me figure out the cytoskeleton, ATP, NADH, and proteins? thank you for your help!
This problem set is simple: come up with every day analogies of cellular structures/components. The analogies should have similar functions in everyday life as we know it. Think of the cell as a city and describe for each cellular organelle or molecule what they would represent in this city. The purpose of this exercise is to make it easier for you in the future to remember all the different parts that make up a functioning cell Here is the list of cellular components you should find analogies to. Do not simply write the name of each analogy but also the function and how they are similar to the function of the cellular component. Nucleus: (analogy, explanation) Endoplasmic reticulum: (analogy, explanation). Golgi: (analogy, explanation). Plasma membrane: (analogy, explanation) Lysosome: (analogy, explanation). Peroxisome: (analogy, explanation) Mitochondria: (analogy, explanation). Chloroplast: (analogy, explanation) Cytoskeleton: (analogy, explanation). ATP: (analogy, explanation). NADH: (analogy, explanation) Proteins: (analogy, explanation) DNA: (analogy, explanation).Explanation / Answer
Cytoskeleton is analogous to metal framework, elevator shaft and mail chutes of an old high rise building, which is essential for maintaining the reliability of the cell mechanically as well as imperative for transport and for signaling.
ATP is analogous to a charged battery. When a phosphate group is added to ADP, ATP is formed. ADP contains some energy, although not as much as ATP. ADP= incompletely charged battery which can be fully charged by the adding of phosphate group to it. Subsequently it becomes the fully charged battery, ATP.
NADPH is similar to a bus, carrying electrons to the Calvin Cycle.
Proteins are analogous to widgets. The widget is the chief
