This was my biology project comparing Dr. Who to a plant cell xP I know it seems far-fetched but it actually worked out really well! I got 140/150 points, like a boss man. You have no idea how proud of this I was XD Bonus: my biology teacher watches Dr. Who too. Even though I kind can't stand her, hey, at least she gets some cool points :d I completely died when I was presenting which is where I think I lost points. I'm usually great in front of crowds, especially when I'm talking about something I like. But for some reason I was standing up there floundering have no idea what I was talking about despite everything being clearly written on my poster :d Iunno, I don't even.

So since some people've asked what the words say, here they are c: I'mma make them really small since there's a lot, but you can copy and paste it somewhere else to actually read it if you're curious c:
Cytoplasm in a plant cell is like the TARDIS or "time and relative dimension in space," the machine that the Doctor uses to travel through space and time. Most main characters and important events that could be compared to an organelle would, at most times, be inside the TARDIS. Therefore, this machine is like cytoplasm in that it contains all of the important ingredients that make this show, this cell, function.
In this comparison I think it's obvious what is acting as the nucleus, The Doctor, the main character, the person in which the entire show and all of its plots revolve around. Everything takes its cue from the Doctor in this show; time can be rewritten just by his stepping in. Every other character (besides the antagonists, of course) will follow his orders to the ends of the Universe, just as every organelle in a cell will follow the orders of its nucleus.
The nuclear envelope controls what enters and leaves the nucleus, like its own personal stoplight. In Dr. Who this could be compared to the Doctor's "weapon" of choice, the sonic screwdriver. The Doctor's sonic screwdriver can open almost any door as well as seal them. He is never seen without it, it is his one companion that he never loses.
The ribosomes of a plant cell could be compared to quite a few characters who are the people at the computers helping the Doctor with whatever his plans may be. The ribosomes sends out proteins essential to the cell's functioning. Mickey Smith (along with a few other characters later in the series) sends out essential information. Without this information and behind-the-scenes work, the Doctor wouldn't be able to go through with some of the amazing plans and strategies that he does.
The endoplasmic reticulum of a cell acts as a transportation network of canals for proteins and other materials. This is a fairly easy comparison. The TARDIS travels through space and time using the time vortex, a path through space and time.
The Golgi apparatus will take products and either release them into the cell or expel them from the cell. In Dr. Who the cybermen from parallel Earth could be compared to this organelle. The cybermen were once humans until their brain was packaged into metal suits. They now possess the job of rounding up people and deciding whether a person will be "upgraded" to a cyberman or deemed "unfit" and killed.
In a cell, the lysosomes will digest molecules, old organelles and foreign substances to create something new and will disintegrate the cell after its death. In Dr. Who when the Doctor is about to die he will regenerate. Everything physical about him will be changed as his old body disintegrates into gold dust and his new one takes its place. Something new has been created out of something that was dying.
A cell's vacuoles serve many purposes, one of which is to store waste products. In this show there is a void between dimensions where absolutely nothing exists. Nothing, of course, besides the worst-of-the-worst, banished there in the most awful prison imaginable. The 'waste' of every universe is stored in this void.
The mitochondria in a cell produces energy that the cell needs to operate. The heart of the TARDIS can easily be compared to this. It supplies the TARDIS with the energy needed to travel through time and space and, generally, to function properly.
The event in which Rose looks into the heart of the TARDIS can be compared to a plant cell's chloroplasts. Chloroplast conducts photosynthesis, creating energy. When Rose looks into the heart of the TARDIS she absorbs the energy of the time vortex and then uses it to kill the Daleks and bring Jack Harkness back to life. She converts the light and information inside of the TARDIS into an energy that can be used against their enemies.
The cell membrane controls what enters and leaves a cell. In Dr. Who the TARDIS's doors act very much like this membrane. The doors are impenetrable; only those who the Doctor lets can get through them.
The cell wall is very important to a plant cell. It gives the cell that extra support it needs to stand the plant up as well as a little extra protection. In my opinion, it's obvious as to what acts as this in Dr. Who. Rose Tyler, the Doctor's first companion in the new series, is very much the Doctor's biggest support system. She helps him in many situations and keeps him going even though he's fresh out of the Time War and the last of his kind.
In a cell the flagella propels the cell through its environment, getting it from place to place. In Dr. Who the TARDIS' controls act very much like the flagella of a cell. They give the commands to move through time and space and without them the TARDIS wouldn't move and therefore the characters wouldn't get anywhere!
A cell's cytoskeleton maintains the shape and size of a cell, much like the TARDIS' cloaking device. The cloaking device helps the machine blend in wherever it lands, however, at one point it broke and kept it fixed in the form of a blue police call box from the 1950s. It now maintains the shape of that blue box and is very iconic in the show.
