The parts of a cell are more like a factory. The rough endoplasmic reticulum = assembly line: Workers gather in regions of the factory where assembly takes place. Similarly, ribosomes are positioned on rough endoplasmic reticulum where the proteins are assembled.

∙ 13y agoCell Wall- probably be like a city wall surrounding the city, protecting it and defining the boundaries (osmotic control, protection, mechanical support).
Cell Membrane- this would be the guards just inside the city wall, controlling who can enter and leave the city (selective permeability).
Nucleus- this would be like, parliament i guess...a group deciding what should happen inside the city (control centre).
Ribosomes- this is the industrial area of the city, creating building materials to extend and develop the city (proteins).
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum- these are couriers who collect the materials from the industrial site and take it to where it is needed (carry proteins).
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum- another industrial site which creates packages to send and communicate with other cities (steroids).
Mitochondria- the electricity generator which creates energy for the city (ATP).
Golgi Apparatus- the postal system of the city, collecting, processing and transporting (molecules) around and out of the city.
Chloroplasts- the food manufacturing plant in a city!
Plasmodesma- roads connecting the cities along which communication can occur.
Lysosomes- units of military personnel, who can attack and invaders (bacteria) and those who do not work properly (unwanted organelles) and kick them out of the city. (turning out to be a bit of a right-wing city here! :S)
Cytoplasm- this is the general streets and landscape of the city, where all these things (metabolic reactions) take place!
Sap Vacuole- a large compound where many useful substances which might be needed in the city are stored.

∙ 13y agoIn a cell, the endoplasmic reticulum serves to transport materials across a cell. Your teacher is probably looking for an allegorical answer, like the post office, Fedex, or the roads.

How is the endoplasmic reticulum like a shipping company?
A endoplasmic reticulum is like a shipping company because the shipping company send packages to the city just like the endoplasmic reticulum sends proteins all overthe cell
What part of the city is the Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum?
I would guess...an abandoned factory?
What do the The endoplasmic reticulum and Ribosomes do in a cell?
Imagine a cell as a small city. Nucleus = Government headquarters (manages other organelles) Endoplasmic Reticulum = a factory that builds protein packages. Ribesomes = Are protein packages. Golgi Body = Sorts and sends the packages off through the cell. Lysosomes = Waste management that recycles waste.
Cell wall city comparison?
cell wall- the city wall endoplasmic reticulum-the roads and highways nuecleas- the mayor golgi body-the postal service cell membrane- the city wall ribosome- the brick factory mitochondria-the nueclear powerlant lysosomes-the storage place/dump chloroplasts-solar-powered items. hahhaha dream on yusra siddique i erased your garbage. what is that garbage name
What is a cell city analogy for a cytoskeleion?
There are several things of which you could relate a cytoskeleton to a city, for example you could compare it to structure of buildings or the general foundation of a city (the street and sidewalk), both being the general support structures of a city.

What is the functions of endoplasmic reticulum?
Basically, it performs the synthesis and modification of proteins and their shipping to the Golgi for further modification (O-glycosylation, for instance ), then the Golgi is the shipping department of the cell.. The smooth ER has to do with the modification of lipids and carbohydrates, and detoxification of the cell.----------------------------------------------------------------The Endoplasmic Reticulum as a whole works to compartmentalize the cell by weaving into sheets all across the cell. The portions of the ER studded with ribosomes (labeled Rough) synthesize proteins while the portions without ribosomes (labeled Smooth) synthesize lipids. Basically, if you compare a cell to a city, the endoplasmic reticula are the roads in which materials can be processed and moved around inside of the cell.It has ribosomes inside which make and sort proteins (also known as synthesis). Rough endoplasmic reticula synthesize proteins, while smooth endoplasmic reticula synthesize lipids and steroids, metabolize carbohydrates and steroids, and regulate calcium concentration, drug detoxification, and attachment of receptors on cell membrane proteins.---There are two parts of the endoplasmic reticulum; the smooth and the rough. The endoplasmic reticulum has several general functions, one being the facilitation of protein folding and the transport of synthesized proteins in cisternae. Only proteins that are folded properly are transported into the Golgi complex from the rough Endoplasmic Reticulum. The "ER" also attaches oligosaccharides in a process called Glycosylation. ( N-glycosylation ) 1. Proteins that are transported by the endoplasmic reticulum.2. Glycosylation3. Disulfide bond formation and rearrangement4.

What would endoplasmic reticulum represent in a city?
A highway/road :)
What company or place does the endoplasmic reticulum resemble in the cell city?

What is a everyday object of a endoplasmic reticulum?
An everyday object that is similar to endoplasmic reticulum would be a road. Trucks travel on the road like the proteins travel through the endoplasmic reticulum. Assembly line, digestive track or airplane route could be used too.
What is a cell city analogy for rough endoplasmic reticulum?
a truck or something that can transport the item

A pipeline carrying milk in a dairy would be an analogy for ER.
