🏢 Part 1: Matching City Parts to Cell Organelles

Directions: Match each cell organelle to its best city analogy by writing the letter in the circle.

1. Nucleus

2. Mitochondria

3. Cell Membrane

4. Ribosomes

5. Lysosomes

6. Endoplasmic Reticulum

A. Power Plant (provides energy)

B. City Hall (controls everything)

C. Roadways (transport materials)

D. City Gates (controls entry/exit)

E. Factories (make products)

F. Recycling Center (breaks down waste)

🎯 Part 2: Multiple Choice

7. Which organelle would be MOST like a school's main office?

Mitochondria

Nucleus

Ribosome

Lysosome

8. If a cell membrane is like city gates, what is its main job?

Make energy for the cell

Control what enters and leaves the cell

Break down waste materials

Make proteins for the cell

9. Which organelles work together like a factory and delivery system? (Check all that apply)

Ribosomes and Endoplasmic Reticulum

Nucleus and Cell Membrane

Mitochondria and Lysosomes

Factories and Roadways

✏️ Part 3: Create Your Own Analogies

10. Think of a different analogy for the nucleus (instead of City Hall). Explain why your analogy works.

The nucleus is like a _________________________ because:

11. Choose any cell organelle and create a sports team analogy. Explain the connection.

The _________________ is like the _________________ on a sports team because:

12. Why are analogies helpful for understanding how cells work? Give one reason.
