Description of organelles compared to a prison
Nucleus: In a prison, the nucleus would be the Warden as he controls and looks after the prisoners, just like the nucleus controls ans supports the cell. The nucleus is the brain, controlling the activities that happen in the cell. The Warden controls the time of lunches for the prisoners and also what time they go back into their cells.
Nuclear Membrane: In a cell, the nuclear membrane surrounds the cell, allowing substances to enter and exit the nucleus. In a prison, the guards (Nuclear Membrane) surround the Warden (Nucleus), and prevent people from entering if the Warden does not want them there, or if the warden does want them there, the guards allow them to enter.
Mitochondria: In a cell, the Mitochondria is the main power generator, that gives the organelles enough power to thrive. In a prison, there is also something called a "power generator", which powers all the systems of the prison, both on the outside and on the inside.
Cell Membrane: The Cell Membrane of a prison would be the prison walls, fences and gates. This is because in a cell, the cell membrane is the boundary of the cell and separates it from other cells.
Cytoplasm: The cytoplasm in a cell delivers oxygen and carbon dioxide to the cell parts. In a prison, the air vents deliver oxygen and carbon dioxide to the different parts of the jail, keeping the air fresh as well.
Lysosomes: The lysosomes in a cell are considered the "clean-up" crew, as they break down molecules and kill invading harmful organisms. A janitor cleans up the the hallways and around the prison, removing any bacteria from the floor or the walls.
Ribosomes: The ribosomes in a cell are small spherical bodies that help make and/or keep protein together. In a prison, a food truck arrives every 1-2 times a week to deliver packaged food, keeping all the proteins together and keeping the food fresh.
Golgi Body: In a cell, the golgi body packages proteins and carbohydrates to vesicles, then they are carried to the surface to be exported. I think that in a prison, unlike the ribosomes, the golgi body is the kitchen because by the time the food gets to the kitchen, it needs to be cooked and prepared, then it is ready to be exported to the prisoners.
Vacuole: In a cell, the vacuole acts as a storage area for food, minerals and waste. I think that in a prison, the vacuole would be the freezer as a freezer is able to store food and keep it fresh for a longer period of time.
DNA: The DNA in a cell creates the genetic structure of the living organism, making up all it's features. In the prison, the form, structure and interior appearance of the cell would equal it's DNA, making up it's genetic features.
