Biology Test: Cells
Uploaded by Quest4Glory on Oct 30, 2004
My brother was studying for his biology test. The next morning he was telling me about the dream he had. He said he traveled through a cell. I started to call him insane. My brother have an educational dream? I thought to myself, impossible. My brother started to tell me his crazy dream. The first place he came upon was the cell wall. He was trying to find a way out. He said he started to talk to the cell wall. He asked the cell wall the way out. The cell wall said to him “How should I know? I’m the outer most part of the cell all I do is make cellulose. You might want to ask the cell membrane she is right next to me.” He told me he didn’t have to walk far to get to the cell membrane. He described the inside of the cell membrane. He said he saw parts flying in and out of there. Kind of like an assembly line. He asked the cell membrane the way out. The cell membrane just replied “ How should I know? I’m an envelope that engulfs the cell which permits a passage of materials into and out of the cell. I’m very thin and flexible. You might want to ask the chloroplast.” He went on with the story by walking to the chloroplast. He asked the chloroplast the way out here. The chloroplast just said, “ I have no idea.” Will you stop bugging me I’m trying to work?” “What’s your job” my brother asked. The chloroplast replied, “ I help with the photosynthesis process by providing chlorophyll. If you want to get out of here ask the mitochondria.” As my brother was on his way to the mitochondria he saw a small round structure that looked like a bean. My brother asked, “What are you and what job do you do?” “I’m a lysosome I help in the digestive activities of the cell.” My brother asked her do you know where the mitochondria? The lysosome replied, “ of course he is right over there.” My brother started to walk that way. He asked the mitochondria the way out. The mitochondria said “ I don’t know all I know is how to do my job.” “What’s your job?” my brother asked. The mitochondria replied in a deep tone, “I’m the powerhouse of the cell in which...
