The document compares the structures and organelles of the cell to components of a city. It describes the nucleus as the "mayor" that directs cell activities using DNA as a blueprint. Ribosomes act as the "lumber yard" that builds proteins using RNA and amino acids. The endoplasmic reticulum acts as a "highway system" to transport proteins. The cell membrane and wall form the "city border and wall." The cytoskeleton is like the "steel girders" that form the cell's framework. The cytoplasm is the "lawns and parks." The Golgi apparatus functions as the "post office" shipping proteins. Mitochondria and chloroplasts produce energy, with mitochondria acting as an
