I am a gate the gateway to a bustling place, controlling entry with utmost grace. Highways and stations, I regulate flow
cell membrane
I am the sturdy barrier that protects, keeping the city safe, where the limits end. Surrounding the place, keep it tight
cell wall
I am the boss, the cell’s great guide, holding instruction deep inside. I tell the cell what to do, direct and true
Nucleus
I trap the sunlight, bright and strong, making food all day long. Without me plants wouldn't be seen
Chlorophyll
I store the things the cell may need, water, food and waste indeed
Vacuole
I am the power source, generating might, fueling the city day and night
Mitochondria
I am not too hard, not too solid, I am a jelly-like stuff that cushions each wall, I hold structures so they do not fall
Cytoplasm
Inside the boss I hide away help workers form each day. I am small but play a key role I create workers to do as told
Nucleolus
I’m soft and squishy, hold things tight,
I keep the insides sealed just right.
I let some things pass through my door,
But block the rest can’t ask for more.
Cell membrane
I’m strong but thin, I stand my ground,
I keep the shape, so cells are sound.
Animals don’t have my might,
But plants, they need me day and night. What am I?
Cell wall
I’m small but mighty, I power all,
I break down sugar when I get the call.
Even plants need my fire bright—
I keep the engines running right. What am I?
Mitochondria
