(Notice that there's some good basic information about other organelles on this page.)
After you've answered the questions on the handout, watch the animation that I'll show you. (It's from this web page.) Take notes, and be prepared to answer: what is endocytosis? What is exocytosis?
Another good site, if you're having trouble visualizing the membrane. Click through the animations!
Good animations of protein transport through a membrane can be found on this page.
After that, you can start researching - and taking notes - on what the different cell organelles do.
Some sites to try include this one from the University of Cincinnati
This site (which has some good analogies to get you thinking) from a junior high in Utah. (Notice how I'm linking to sites that are from schools and universities? This is a good way to find reliable information - though it's not foolproof.)
There's an interactive animation of a cell here with some good explanations.
Using these sites, write out your own explanation of what each organelle's function in the cell is. Then, talk to me about what kinds of analogies might work for your analogy project.
