What is an anaolgy of a mitochondria?

Answer 1

Well, as you know, the mitochondria are the producers of most of a cell's energy and the nucleolus creates ribosomes. The cell wall is only in a plant cell and is a rigid layer of non-living material that surrounds the cells of plants and some organisms.

An analogy can be written in the form: this is to that, as this(2) is to that(2).

Here are some possible analogies for mitochondria in cells:

• The fuel cell in a hydrogen/electric powered automobile (good analogy because the fuel cell is performing a function in the car in a way very similar to the mitochondrion in a cell) -- fuel cell : automobile mitochondria : cell
• the power plant for a town -- power plant : town :: mitochondrion : cell
• I would think of it as some sort of power plant. Anything that produces energy.
• I was told once by a teacher to think of the mitochondria as red bull. Just as red bull provides the body "wings" or energy, the mitochondria provides energy for the cell.
• Or you can liken it to the fuel feeding a boiler or electrical supply to a company.
• It is like a gas tank, "fuels" up what you want.

Answer 2

mitochondria are the energy making organisms in a cell. they are what convert the glucose into energy that the cell can use to function.

I think that mitochondria can be compared to the electrical supply that powers a company.

Answer 3

to be more precise, an analogy, well not really, but for mitochondria, you can think of a wrestler.. wanna know why? well mitochondria sounds like mighty and if you research a mitochondria, youll see it does something important and it mighty sort of.. if you know what i mean.when you think of mitochondria, think of mighty.

Answer 4

The mitochondrion is known as the power house of a cell in an organism. It is responsible in creating energy for the cell; likewise, it generates ATP, a chemical essential for an organism to survive.

Answer 5

It has often been described to me as the "power plant" of the cell. Processes go on within the mitochondria that break down glucose and turn it into energy in the form of ATP that the cell can use to perform different tasks.

You can also treat the mitochondria as a fuel feeding a boiler or an electrical supply that powers the whole company.

Answer 6

i Believe there is no real answer to any questions only opinions to the questions, therefore is anyone ever right or wrong. it is all made up in ones mind, think about that and answer it.. well state your opinion..??

Answer 7

it is a power house of a cell. most of the ATP is produced here

Answer 8

An example of mitochondria can be like a power company
