Question

how would you compare a cell to a house

Answer 1

(you might need to double-check on this one though):
CELL =TO= HOUSE COMPARISONS
Cell Membrane = Wall Sheathing of a house
Cell wall (plant cells only) = Plaster designs of a House
Chloroplasts (plant cells only) = Solar Panels (Not very common in most houses), Power Switches, or a Fuse box of the house
Cytoplasm = this is difficult to compare to a house, furniture inside the house (?)
Cytoskeleton = Like the cytoplasm, but this has more form, and supports the structure of the cell, in a house, this could be the supporting beams or pillars.
Endoplasmic reticulum = a regulator for air temperature, insulation, and humidity in the house. Typically, when looking at a cell, E.R. (Short for Endoplasmic Reticulum) looks like the walls that divide the sections of the house
Golgi bodies = The Golgi bodies are related to the E.R., so, if the E.R. is the intake regulator, the Golgi is like the exhaustion regulator or the air-filter inside the house.
Lysosomes (animal cells only) = The lysosomes are particles floating inside the cell’s Cytoplasm that breaks down proteins… as well as foreign viruses and bacteria, and sends them over to the Mitochondria for energy. This is like the Sink-erator in the house, or a compactor, or a shredder.
Mitochondria = Since the Mitochondria functions after the Lysosome, it could be another “assimilator” in the house, Maybe in a house, this is a compost converter.
Nucleus = this could be the master part of the house, containing all the important documents, belongings, etc.
Ribosomes = translates messenger. In a house, this could be a—modem or a phone line.
Vacuoles = In a house, this is the Fridge. The Storage of food.
