What would be a good analogy based on the functions of the organelles (such as a hospital, school, mall)?Choose only five and explain each one.

The nucleus which is the control center could be the
administration or the principal. Vacuoles, are for cellular storage. In a school,
storage closets or supply rooms could be a good analogy. The cell membrane, which
directs the movement of molecules, in or out of a cell, could be compared to a crossing
guard, deciding who goes across and at what time and rate. The mitochondria, which is
the place for cellular respiration and where the cell combines glucose and oxygen to
produce A.T.P., could be compared with the cafeteria, where the students get energy.
Finally, the ribosomes, which carry out protein synthesis, according to the instructions
found in the DNA, could be compared with a copy machine, which makes copies based on a
template.
