Storyboard Description
It's about how cells perform functions in our body.

- Hello Anya
- Hello Mr.Jones !
- Why are you so tensed?
- Ah. I was just thinking that we all are made up of trillions of cells but how do they work?
- Then, can I help you with it? Is it for your project or something?
- Ah yes.
- To understand, take cells as microscopic factories. Factories typically contain people, machines and raw materials. Supplies are brought into the factory. Workers use the supplies to build whatever products the factory makes. Machines in the factory play different roles in that process. Everything works together to make what customers need. Same like that cells get raw materials- including water, oxygen, minerals and other nutrients- from the foods you eat. They let in raw materials through the cell membrane- the thin, elastic structure that forms the border of each cell. Cells have internal structures called organelles. Each organelle is like a worker or a machine that has a job to do for the cell to function properly.
- CONTINUED.......- The nucleus is like a person in charge, because it controls cell function. It contains DNA, the master organizer for how cells work. - Mitochondria are the batteries in cells. Chemical reactions within the mitochondria create the energy that powers cell functions.- Lysosomes are fluid-filled vesicles, or sacs, that act as a waste- disposal system for cells. Pac-man, lysosomes eat bacteria or unwanted material in the cell. They contain enzymes that digest anything they absorb to make it harmless.- Ribosomes are the cell's molecule makers. They assemble proteins from amino acids according to the blueprint in your DNA. - The endoplasmic reticulum is a system of tubelike structures that's essential for the production of proteins and lipids. - Once protein molecules have been made, they move to the Golgi apparatus for further processing. The Golgi apparatus is like a conveyor belt that “wraps” proteins inside vesicles so they can be “shipped” out of the cell.
- Your Welcome. See you later then.
- Thank you!Mr.Jones
