Question

how coud I represent these cell functions?

This problem set is simple: come up with every day analogies of cellular structures/components. The analogies should have similar functions in everyday life as we know it. Think of the cell as a city and describe for each cellular organelle or molecule what they would represent in this city. The purpose of this exercise is to make it easier for you in the future to remember alí the different parts that make up a functioning cell. Here is the list of cellular components you should find analogies to. Do not simply write the name of each analogy but also the function and how they are similar to the function of the cellular component. Nucleus: (analogy, explanation) Endoplasmic reticulum: (analogy, explanation). Golgi: (analogy, explanation) Plasma membrane: (analogy, explanation).

Explanation / Answer

1. Nucleus -

Analogy - City Hall

Explanation - Because nucleus controls all the functions of cell just like city hall which controls all city activities.

2. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) -

Analogy - Highway / Roads

Explanation - Both Roads and ER works as transportation systems.

3. Golgi -

Analogy - Post Office

Explanation - Both Post Office and Golgi does the work of packing and carrying.

4. Plasma Membrane -

Analogy - City Limits

Explanation - Both controls what goes and what comes in and out of the limits (cell).
