I was wondering if you could help me figure out analogies and the explanation for the highlighted questions? thank you!

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 yotu in the future to remember all 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). Lysosome: (analogy, explanation) Peroxisome: (analogy, explanation). Mitochondria: (analogy, explanation) Chloroplast: (analogy, explanation) Cytoskeleton: (analogy, explanation)
