Answer:
The nucleus is like the principal of a school, the cell membrane is like a school building, and the mitochondria is like the staff in a school.
Explanation:
Definitions:
- The nucleus of a cell contains the majority of the cell's genetic material, and coordinates cell activities like protein synthesis and cell division.
- The cell membrane is the semipermeable membrane of a cell that surrounds the cytoplasm (the material inside the cell other than the nucleus).
- The mitochondria is "the powerhouse of the cell", because it produces most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's chemical reactions.
The nucleus is like the principal of a school: the nucleus controls the cell, much like how the principal controls the school.
The cell membrane is like a school building: the cell membrane forms a boundary between the cell and outside environment, much like how the school building separates you from outside.
The mitochondria is like the staff in a school: the mitochondria powers the cell, much like how the staff in a school keep the school running.
