Need help with Bio Project

Diver09 · 10-10-2006

hi i'm new here, and i have a biology project for school i have to do thats due in a few weeks called Cell Theme Park Model. Basically i have to model a theme park but each part of the park needs to resemble a part of a cell. For example, the information kiosk can be the nucleus. I need to know what i should do with all of these though:
Nucleus = (Information Kiosk?) any other sugestions?
Nucleolus = ?
chromatin = ?
cytoplasm (cytosol) = (the land the theme park is on?)
endoplasmic reticulum = ?
ribsome = ?
lysosome = ?
golgi body or apparatus = ?
microfilaments, microtubles (cytoskeleton) = ?
centrioles = ?
mitochndria = ?
chloroplast = ?
vacuole = ?
cell membrane = (Fence around park?)

Well, there are ride operators, ticket takers, security guards, mechanics, snack vendors, golf-cart vehicles, sidewalks, undergreound/behind-the-scenes maintenance passageways, constantly changing number and type of guests, employee and guest entrance/exit gates, fire escape routes, rides both simple & challenging, height/age requirements, PA system....you get the idea. Visualize as many of the more familiar features of the theme park first, then from that list make pairings to the less familiar cell structures.

You're welcome & welcome to Hypography.

Off Topic: What kind of diver does Diver refer to; springboard or SCUBA?

Diver09 · 10-10-2006

Springboard. I do 1 meter and 3 meter springboard. and i do 3, 5, 7, and 10 meter platform. I used to be a gymnast which helped me alot in diving.

[OFFTOPIC]Sweet! Me too, except I have acrophobia and only competed on 1 meter springboards. I went on to teach and coach diving, but never mustered the courage to even jump from a 10m platform.

On to the cellular theme park!
