Fishmoore City Cell Analogy Read the following short description of a very special town called Fishmoore City. Then, match the parts of the city (underlined) with the parts of the cell listed below.

In a far away place called Fishmoore City, the main export and production product is the magnificent widget. Everyone in the town has something to do with widget making and the entire town is designed to build and export widgets. The town hall has the instructions for widget making. Widgets come in all shapes and sizes and any citizen of Fishmoore can get the instructions and begin making their own magnificent widgets. Widgets are generally produced in small shops around the city. These small shops are built by the carpenter’s union (whose headquarters are in town hall). The widget shops are located on a maze of streets that wind throughout Fishmoore City.

After a widget is constructed, they move on special widget carts through the maze of streets which can deliver the widget anywhere in the city. In order for a widget to be exported it will travel to the postal office where stamps are added and the widgets are labeled for export. But sometimes widgets don’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 widget shops from a hydraulic dam that is in the city. The entire city is enclosed by a large wooden fence, only the postal trucks (and citizens with proper passports) are allowed outside the city.
