One analogy for a cell would be a school, a city, or a factory. For example, with the school analogy - a nucleus is to a cell as a principal is to a school. Each part of the cell can be represented by an equally important member of the school/city/factory.

∙ 13y agoThe cell analogy depends on what you want to compare a cell with. Country? City? Mall? Airplane?
Please specify.
But I do have an example:)
Country
Mitochondria: Power plant
Ribosomes: Different oil fields
Nucleus: An oil company
Endoplasmic Reticulum: Trucks
Golgi Body: Garbage Man
Protein: Oil
Cell Membrane: Border Line
Lysosomes: Scrap Yard
Nucleolus: Engineers
Vacuole: Barrels
