Cell City Analogy
In a far away city called Simple Toys City, the main export and production product
is the “ball in a cup” game. Everyone in the town has something to do with making
this “ball in a cup” and the entire town is designed to build and export these
fascinating creations. The town hall has the instructions for “ball in a cup” making,
and these stimulating toys come in all shapes and sizes. Any citizen of Simple Toys
City can get the instructions and begin making their own “ball in a cup”. “Ball in a
cup” is generally produced in small shops around the city. After the “ball in a cup”
is constructed, they are placed on special toll roads which can deliver the toy
anywhere in the city. In order for a “ball in a cup” to be exported, the toys are
taken to the postal office, where they are packaged and labeled for export out of
the city. Sometimes the “ball in a cup” doesn’t turn out right, and the "rejects"
are sent to the scrap yard, where they are broken down for parts, or destroyed
altogether. The town powers the “ball in a cup” shops and trucks from a hydraulic
dam that is in the city. The entire city is enclosed by a large metal fence, and only
the postal trucks (and citizens with proper passports) are allowed outside the
city.
Match the parts of the city (underlined) with the parts of the cell.

Create your own analogy of the cell using a different model. Choose something
else that you can create an analogy for each of these 8 cells structures. You can
use anything you can imagine, but if you can’t think of anything than use Norco
High School to create your analogies. Once you have your analogies you are going
to draw a picture on separate piece of paper of your analogies and explain how
each item relates to the cell structure.
