The document compares different organelles in animal cells to things in countries. It describes mitochondria as the cell's power plant, the cell membrane as security, cytoplasm as the people, the nucleus as the president, centrioles as factories, the endoplasmic reticulum as airplanes, chromosomes as a family business, the nuclear membrane as gates, the nucleolus as the government, ribosomes as a cement factory, the vacuole as jail, the Golgi body as the mail system, and the lysosome as the internet. Each comparison explains how the organelle and country thing are analogous in the functions they serve.

2. Mitochondria-Power Plants
Mitochondria supplies
Mitochondria is like
all source of energy.
a power plant.
Mitochondria is like a power plant because a power plant
produces energy that a country uses, just like Mitochondria
that produces energy that the cell uses.

3. Cell Membrane- Security

like the security in a
country.
The Cell Membrane is like security in a country because security
keeps bad things and things that aren’t supposed to be in a
country out of the country, just like a Cell Membrane that keeps
bad things out of the cell.

4. Cytoplasm-People
Cytoplasm has

working.
Cytoplasm is like the people
that live in a country.
Cytoplasm is like people that live in a country because all the
people have certain jobs that make the country run, just like the
Cytoplasm that has jobs to keep the cell’s system working.

5. Nucleus-President
Controls the Nucleus is like the
whole cell president of a
country
The Nucleus is like a president of a country because the
president helps control a whole country just like the Nucleus
that controls the whole cell.

6. Centriole-Factorys
Organizes Mitotic
spindle and helps The Centriole is
complete the
cytokinesis. like a factory.
The Centriole is like a factory because the factory organizes
things, just like Centrioles that also organize things.

7. Endoplasmic Reticulum-Airplane
Transports
material inside of Endoplasmic Reticulum is like an
the cell airport.
Endoplasmic Reticulum is like an airplane because an airplane
transports people, just like Endoplasmic Reticulum transporting
materials inside of a cell.

8. Chromosome-Family Business
Chromosomes are just
Passes down
like a family business.
DNA
Chromosomes are just like a Family Business because family
business’s are passed down through generations, just like
Chromosomes that are passed down.

9. Nuclear Membrane-Gates
The Nuclear Membrane forms a boundary The Nuclear
around the Nucleus, protects it and lets Membrane is like a
things into and out of the Nucleus. gate.
The Nuclear Membrane is like a gate because a gate forms a
boundary, while letting things into and out of a certain area it has
closed off, just like the Nuclear Membrane that also forms a
boundary and lets things into and out of the Nucleus.

10. Nucleolus-Government
The Nucleolus makes The Nucleolus is
Ribosomes. like a President of a
Country.
The Nucleolus is like a President of a Country because a President
helps make laws, that are part of a country, and the Nucleolus
helps to make Ribosomes, that are part of every cell.

11. Ribosome-Cement Factory
Ribosomes make
Ribosomes are
proteins from
like a Cement
Amino Acids.
Factory.
Ribosomes are like a Cement Factory because Cement holds
things together, just like how Ribosomes help to hold everything
together in a cell.

12. Vacuole-Jail
Isolates things that

cell
A jail is jst like a Vacuole because it isolates things harmful to
others just like the Vacuole isolates things harmful to a cell.

13. Golgi Body-Mail System
A Golgi Body, modifies A Golgi body is like a Post
collects and packages. Office.
A Golgi Body is like a Post Office because a Post Office collects
and packages packages just like how a Golgi Body modifies,
collects and packages.

14. Lysosome-Internet
The Lysosome The Lysosome is just like
breaks up foods so the Internet
it can be digested
easier
The Lysosome is like the Internet because the Internet breaks up
information so it can be understood easier just like how the
Lysosome breaks up food so it can be digested easier.
