Each organelle has a function that can be compared to a real world example. (Lysosomes as a recycling center for example) Identify which of the following example is a correct analogy.

• The Nucleus is like a restaurant door, allowing customers in and out.

• Ribosomes are like taxis because they transport molecules and nutrients to the rest of the cell.

• Mitochondria are like factories because they produce the energy needed to run the cell.

• Cytoplasm is like Air Traffic Control at an airport because they control all the operations of a cell.
