Charlie won the grand tour for a chocolate-cell 

factory. Charlie is taught by Willy Wonka about all of 

the organelles in cells.   He starts the tour with the 

cell membrane. The cell membrane is the protection 

for the cells and can let things exit and enter from it.  

Almost all cells have cell membranes. The cell 

membrane can be found in both animal and plant 

cells.

__________

 "The cell membrane can act 

like a plastic bag because

they both keep things in and out," Charlie said.

 The next stop of the tour is the cell wall. The cell wall 

is a strong outer layer that surrounds the cell 

membrane

 and can be found only in the plant cell. The cell wall is

 very important because it helps determine the

 difference between plant and animal cells. The cell wall

 is the protection for the plant cells.   The small holes

 found in the cell wall lets nutrients and other materials

 pass through it. 

                        _____________   

                         "This shows that bricks act like                    

                          cell walls because the bricks 

                           protect the house like the  

                      cell wall protects the cell," 

says Charlie.

 Next, Charlie is introduced to the Ribosomes.   The 

ribosomes function is to produce proteins.   Ribosomes 

are found free in the cytoplasm or attached to the 

endoplasmic reticulum forming the rough ER. It all 

depends on the number of ribosomes by the activity of 

the cell. Ribosomes are located in both animal and 

plant cells. 

                      __________

                              Ribosomes are like

                             indoor farms because it 

                             makes the protein like

                             indoor farms make food, said 

                                Charlie.

  Charlie later asks, "What do the Golgi bodies do?"  

"Well, they can be thought as the mail room", said 

Willy Wonka. "They send things throughout the 

cell." He explains.   They also store and package 

proteins and lipids made in the Endoplasmic 

Reticulum.   The Golgi bodies are located in both 

animal and plant cells.

         ______________________

 Golgi bodies are like mail because they both 

transport things, said Charlie.

  "Next stop is to the Endoplasmic Reticulum room!" Willy 

Wonka says.   This part of the cell is a network of tubes 

and carries material through the cell. There are two 

different parts of the Endoplasmic Reticulum. One is 

called the rough ER because the ribosomes are attached 

to the sides and creates proteins for the cell. The other 

part is called the smooth ER. Its job is to remove toxins 

and other things from the cell. The ER is located in both 

animal and plant cells. 

                                            The endoplasmic 

                                     reticulum is like roads

                                     because it brings 

                                  proteins to different places like

                                  roads bring people to different 

                                       places, Charlie said.

  Willy Wonka then tells Charlie about the 

Chloroplasts. The Chloroplasts capture energy 

from sunlight and gives plants their green color. 

They act as the food producers of the cell. The 

Chloroplasts are located in   plant cells, not animal 

cells. The chloroplasts in the plant cell are the 

parts in which the sunlight, CO2, and the water 

are used to make sugars into oxygen. 

                         _____________________

                             Chloroplasts converts

                              energy into sugar like a 

                              bowl turns ingredients

                                   into food, Charlie said.

 Then Charlie is shown the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm are 

jellylike   material and are found inside the cell membrane. 

The cytoplasm supports and protects the cell organelles. 

Cytoplasm's are found in animal and plant cells.   They 

also fill up the space between the nucleus and the cell 

membrane.  

                     ___________ 

                                This shows that the

                               cytoplasm is like the 

                                 floor in a house because it

                                     supports the cell

                          organelle like the floor supports

                                    the items inside the house, 

                                         Charlie says.

Willy Wonka then explains the Lyosomes, 

Starting with its function. They break down 

food particles into smaller ones. Lyosomes are 

small and contain a membrane.They are found 

in animal cells, but aren't commonly found in 

plant cells.

                        ______________

                      This shows that bags hold

                      your stuff like lyosomes hold 

                        enzymes to be used, said 

                            Charlie. 

Willy Wonka then shows Charlie the Nucleus. The nucleus 

are large oval shaped and acts like the brain of

the cell. The nucleus directs all of the cells activities and

 can be found in plants and some animal cells. It also 

helps control movement, eating and reproduction in the

 cell.                              __________

                              This shows that

                                 parents are like the

                                nucleus because

                                 they direct the 

                                  activities and are

                                     in charge,like

                                   the nucleus   directs 

                                     the cells activities, charlie

                                           said.
