How can you compare an animal cell to something else. Please give me an example!?

Answer 1

An animal cell is like a factory. It's products are often proteins or other chemicals. The cell membrane would be like a chain link fence. Contrast that to a brick or stone wall that would be like the cell wall of a plant. The chain link fence could would be semi-permiable. It could let some things in but not all things. Next you could have some of the organells. The nucleus would contain the instructions or design plans for the product. Certain polypeptides like mRNA would be like the workers that go into the nucleus to read the plans. When they come out they work together with tRNA to assemble the products. Other players would consist of the mitochondion. The mito's role would be to provide the power to the machinery inside the factory. The Golgi in some cases would package the product in a protective vessicle and ship it somewhere else. The lysosome would dispose of waste particles and act like the trash compactor of the company.

Answer 2

an animal cell as a nucleus VS a plant cell which does not have a nucleus. the nucleus is the center, it contains all the information the cell needs to divise itself

Answer 3

Here is a unique example of an analogy I found from Google: http://eport2.cgc.maricopa.edu/published/t/ba/tbassett33/weblog/1/
