Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Use what you know about cells and analogies to help you.
A cell is like a tiny city! Each part of the cell has a special job, just like different parts of a city. Let's explore some of these analogies.
1. The cell membrane is like the of a city, controlling what goes in and out.
2. The nucleus is like the of the city, sending instructions to all the other parts.
3. Mitochondria are like the of the city, providing energy for everything to work.
4. The cytoplasm is like the of the city, where all the other parts float around.
Match each cell part on the left with the best city analogy on the right.
1. Cell Wall
a. Power Plant
2. Chloroplast
b. City Hall/Brain
3. Nucleus
c. Solar Panels/Food Factory
4. Mitochondria
d. City Wall/Outer Boundary
