A good way to understand cells at first to see them as a factory.
This factory manufactures proteins. The membrane forms the walls.
There are doors which allow necessary things to come in and go out. The floor of the building contains the cytoplasm.
The nucleus is the main office. This is where plans are drafted and drawn up to make proteins. These instructions are sent to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER).
This is the factory floor. Each work station is a ribosome. These ribosomes make the proteins.
The mitochondria are the power houses. The Golgi body is the shipping department. It sends out the proteins that the cell made and imports parts that cell needs.
The vacuoles are the trash bins. There are parts which are brought out when needed as in cell division: centrioles and fibers.
The mitochondria can be compared to a power plant in Cell City because it functions to produce energy for the cell through the process of cellular respiration. Similar to how a power plant generates electricity for a city, the mitochondria generates energy (ATP) for the cell to carry out its various functions.

The Battery. Since the mitochondria makes energy for the cell, a battery would be a suitable item.
You would expect to find many mitochondria in a muscle cell. This is because the mitochondria makes the energy fo a cell, and muscle cells need alot of energy to do their job. The more energy a cell needs to do its job, the more mitochondria it has.
Cells that require a lot of energy, such as muscle cells or cells in the heart, would likely have the most mitochondria.

You could use raisins or chocolate chips to represent mitochondria in an edible cell model. Cut up a fruit snack or gummy candy into small pieces to represent the inner membrane folds. Arrange these components within a larger gelatin or cake base to create a visually appealing representation of a cell with mitochondria.

A job in the city and a mitochondria are not directly comparable, as they are two different entities with distinct functions. A job in the city is a form of employment in an urban area, while a mitochondria is a cellular organelle responsible for producing energy in cells through cellular respiration.
i guess it would... are you doing a cell city assingment??
