Question

Your science teacher asks you to build a model of a cell. The model should look like a city, and buildings in the city should represent parts of a typical cell. Each building's real-life function should be like the function of the organelle it represents. For example, the vacuole of a cell, which stores water, could be a water tower in your cell city model.

What building should represent the nucleus, and why?
A) factory:manufacturing
B) city hall:control center
C) power plant:provides energy
D) highways and streets:transportation

Answer 1

b) city hall:control center

Answer 2

The nucleus is referred to be the "brain" of a cell, so having it as B) the control center would make sense. City hall controls what goes on in a city, similar to what the nucleus does.
