I need to create a cell analogy. my teacher used the example of a factory, so i am unable to use that. i need to create an analogy using a system, where everything works together. please name what each part of the EUKARYOTIC cell would be, including all of the organelle's analogies in the system. thank you in advance. :)
For example***
my teacher used the factory:
nucleus- control panel
ER- conveyer belts.
i need an example for each of these organelles:
nucleus
mitochondria
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
rough endoplasmic reticulum
golgi apparatus (also known as the golgi complex)
lysosome
centriole
ribosomes
microtubules
microfilaments
please try to fit as many of these into a specific system as possible, no need for all of them!

What about a department store?
Nucleus - Managers office
Mitochondria - power source to the store
Smooth ER - Photo processing area, etc. (anywhere in the store where a service is provided but it is not directly related to the stores merchandise sales)
Rough ER - Shopping carts
Golgi Apparatus - Check out and bagging stations
Lysosomes - Trash bins and dumpsters
Centrioles - ?
Ribosomes - workers
Microtubules and microfilaments - supporting beams and structural elements of the store

Hi there, sorry but I don't think its right for others to do your homework for you.
But what i CAN do for you is to give you directed questions:
1. What are the functions of each organelle?
2. What are the processes of each organelle with respect to each other? (i.e. do some of them rely on each other?)
3. What does a cell need?
4. What does a cell do?
These directed questions should probe you to think deeper and further. Contemplate each organelle, and its processes, and when you think of something that sounds similar, don't hesitate to think more on it.
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the ones that make more sense :)
And those ideas don't have to be so far away from you. :))

I had to do this project as well, a long time ago and I saw some really good examples.( sorry I can't help you completely, because i don't really remember the name of each part but here are some exaples of what you can do )
You can try a school.
A ship.
your home.
A computer.
A biome.
